Rue Café is a total hidden gem! The space is bright, cozy, and has that perfect neighborhood café feel. The coffee is excellent — smooth, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The staff are super friendly and make you feel right at home. I tried a latte and a croissant, and both were amazing. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to visit again and again for good vibes and great coffee.
