We accidentally stumbled upon the small cafe because they had outdoor seating so we could bring our dogs. What a happy surprise! The staff were all so nice and friendly and the food was absolutely delicious. Fluffiest pancakes ever! The corn beef hash was sooo good. So happy to have found this cozy little local spot!

After our community & home burned down in the palisades fire, we found the small cafe to be our safe sanctuary in our time of unknown and stress. Esperanza always went above and beyond and made us feel at home. We always look forward to our time here, along with enjoying the delicious food.

Giovanni was our server and provided excellent attention when we sat on their front patio. The food was delicious. My husband's over medium eggs were cooked to perfection and my Belgium waffle had generous servings of fresh fruit. If we lived locally, this would be a favorite place that we would eat at frequently.
