Went to brunch today with my friend and it was my first time here and the service was PERFECTION!!!!!! All of the staff that I came in contact with, so friendly. The portions were so big and omg! I will totally come back here!!!! Such a friendly vibe, no wait and we came at 10:30am.

I recently visited this location and was warmly greeted by a friendly host. However, our experience took a downturn with the waitress, who was quite curt and nearly rude. This seemed to stem from our request to move indoors due to high noise levels outside, which was necessary because my mother, who wears hearing aids, is sensitive to loud environments. Unfortunately, the waitress appeared displeased with our decision to change seats, which affected our overall dining experience.
The three star rating is due to the lack of good customer service.
As for food and location I would recommend.

Service was excellent from the minute we entered. We had regular coffee, but specialty coffees are offered, including spiked coffees. The food was hot and fresh with generous proportions. The noise level is very high during busy times, which made conversation a bit difficult. The entrance faces away from the street and is right next door to Spinato's pizza.

Not too impressive. When you go out to eat usually you expect the food to have good seasoning. The food here was very bland tasting. Adding salt and pepper didn’t even help.
I was at the bar and felt ignored at the end. Maybe the staff needs to practice more people skills. Maybe it was because I was done eating and that’s when customer service stops. 🤷♀️
Trying to pay through their website that is known for issues and they stop asking if you need anything. Could’ve just walked out and they wouldn’t have known I paid or not. Lots of staff seen talking to each other instead of the customer.
I guess customer service means something else now a day. Their DD Hash was great maybe look more into that seasoning to see if it can help their smashed avocados.
Their pancakes cinnamon rolls looked good but did not try those.

This was my first time trying this place this past saturday and I have to say that the wait was horrible.The food was okay and the service was okay. At the end, we are even rushed by the manager. I didn't want to say anything, because I was with two friends that walk with me during my breast cancer walk. Not impressed with this place at all!

It was our first time here and first impression was not too impressive. We like trying new places all the time and this one didn't look too bad.
Staff - First I would like to point out that both of their hostess could've performed better and more proactive.
We had a baby with us and required a high chair. So we were told to wait about 15 minutes which we're okay with waiting a while. Usually happens at other restaurants too. But while waiting we see a bunch of tables that are almost available and just have dirty plates and dishes on them but no one is actively cleaning and making room for new customers. The whole staff just kept walking by every dirty table like it wasn't anyone's responsibility. And they had 1 waiter really trying, just 1 waiter, she was back and forth everywhere just trying to keep up. While everyone else was talking to their coworker and the 2 people greeting people at the door just sat there behind the host desk with 8 people (3 different groups) waiting to get seated. Should really look into using a seating chart and splitting up the sections on who is responsible for certain sections and groups of people to really makes seating proficient.
I also recommend maybe buying a cart to clean up tables faster and more efficient, rather than making multiple trips to the back.
Food - Taste was okay. Not too impressive. They do have healthy options and alternatives.
I tried the Smokey Mushroom Omelette, the omelette itself was good, and the mixed fruit was good (Sometimes at restaurants you can taste that the mixed fruit has been prepped for a while and gets a sour taste, not here though, So plus on that :)
The Cinnamon Roll Cakes was a cause for diabetes. Overly soaked and soggy with icing. The bread was just mushy and soggy bread does not impress your taste buds. The sugar content is just overwhelming also. I recommend a lighter icing touch and a crispier texture on the Cinnamon cake. Like a waffle type texture would definitely improve its taste presentation.
Water Taste - Okay, Not the best, but definitely a bit bad taste of tap water. Could be time for a new filter or time to start using one.
Atmosphere - Places do tend to get loud, and I'm okay with that. Can't say much on the environment. Staff could be a bit more warm and high spirited.
Cost - We paid $63 for
2 adult meals
2 Kid's meal
1 chocolate milk.
And plain water as our beverages
Parking - Plenty of parking space, and ADA accessibility.
Restaurant Performance - I think this place has potential. And with some improvement it can really catch some attention.
Areas of Improvement:
•Staff communication
•Staff friendliness
•Proactive cleaning
•Proactive involvement on all restaurant functions.

Just moved to AZ. Heard of this place and had to check it out. Although they were busy, we got a table right away. The service, food, and drinks were all very good. Can't wait to come back and try something else.
