Ordered the penguin sandwich. First time I’ve had it on burnt toast with missing bacon. Chef… Are you kidding me? I know how to cook that’s an obvious slap on the face because the toast is starting point of the sandwich you’re building on. If you knew it was burnt you start over because it’s the cheapest ingredient. Moreover I know your menu. I’m not new to your place, although you don’t see me often, you’ll see me less often now.

Went to this restaurant based on online reviews. The food is generally good. People who usually drink coffee will find the coffee in the store to be very weak.

Great find for this town. Very traditional. When most restaurants are trying extreme variations on food, this is what I am used to.

Brunch is delicious here. Looks like coffee is complementary. Began stacks was amazing, and the vegan toast. French toast is delicious as well. Service was good. Just beside the restaurant you can walk straight down to Anita beach.

Cute little place, both me and the wife ordered the O'Brian and added sausage, spinach tomatoes and guacamole.Food came out quick but it was missing the guacamole. I ordered my eggs with it over medium they came over easy, and the wife ordered scrambled it came out looking like a pancake.Despite all that the food was really good. The place was a revolving door and they were super busy. I would recommend trying it out if you are in the area
