There is a rustic ambiance to Rendez Vous Café that is noticeable the moment you place a foot on the stone patio in front of the quaint coffee shop. French, Spanish and Portuguese music softly plays while customers sip their lattes and eat their Nutella-covered crepes. Rich orange colors and shades of cranberry cover the walls with oil paintings of flowers and cobble stone side streets. Located on Wilson Boulevard, the café has only been in existence for a little over three months and already has become a favorite of the local pedestrians that live in the large apartment buildings up and down the street. College students sit in back of the small café with their laptops and paninis; men and women in business suits toting their dry cleaning stop by for a quick espresso after a long day at the office.
