Café Saint-Ex stands out in the neighborhood simply because it has really, really, really nice people working there - especially the hostess who sits on the bar stool during warmer months to greet and accommodate people on the outdoor patio. She has never rolled an eye the three times I've been there - and neither have the servers - a tell tale sign of a classy and customer-centric establishment. Staff make sure we have a table with room for the stroller, often sitting us at a four-top when we obviously will only pay for two.
I did have a meltdown here once when Mom went for an afternoon drink with a friend. She still wasn't quite comfortable whipping out a boob to shut me up, but even then, staff attentively brought out the check and got Mom squared away swiftly and without judgement.
Needless, the aviation-inspired French café has some very loyal customers.
