So I'll start with the positivity."The works" bacon breakfast burrito was excellent, potatoes cooked perfectly with great flavor and homemade salsa flavor bomb. Wife said her breakfast tacos were delicious same positivity on her food.Moving on to the drinks, my wife loved the orange juice however $6 for about 8oz is a little bold. I bought a $7 latte which didn't offend me by price because in all the pictures it came in a Bowl! And I was actually excited about that however they didn't have any clean bowls at the time so they gave me a regular mug which was at least only have the size and charged me full price.When I asked about it she explained and said she would remake it for me but never did, and still charged full price.I can get by all that but my son ordered the buttermilk pancakes and they didn't give him syrup we had to ask not that big of deal, then after he said he was done eating my wife went to sample his pancakes and noticed the middle of the cakes still had batter in them, not cooked fully.My son is only 11 and just didn't know any better he thought because it said buttermilk that that was normal lol, the restaurant took off $6 from the $12 price and gave him a free cookie however, one staffer tried to suggest they may have been a little undercooked I don't appreciate trying to justify it just comes off as a disagreement and there was nothing to dispute.Also if you want to make amends for a partially raw pancake you mark it completely off the bill, especially considering I only got a half coffee ?.If I could go 3.8 I would again our items tasted great just some key misses in decorum.

I had brunch at this location and the food was awesome. We ordered lattes and they came in cups that looked like soup bowls and that was kind of fun. Highly recommend.

I like to support vegan restaurants often. Even though this one is omnivore it had some nice vegan options. I ordered the avocado toast that came with a lovely salad. I also ordered a chai with oat milk. The food and service was excellent. Very friendly and good vibes. Nice atmosphere!Vegetarian options: Its nice that they cater to vegans and vegetarians.

We were charged a split plate fee, but our food was not separated onto separate plates. We ordered 2 coffees and one entree.We were not warned of the split plate fee either. We only saw it on the back of the menu in small print later.

This was an amazing experience! Very friendly staff and a great spot for those of us can not eat meat anymore! We got avocado toast and vegan chorizo scramble. Absolutely delicious! From the drinks to the food. The chef walking around and providing the whole experience. We will absolutely go back on our next trip to monterrey!! Thank you the wild plum!!Vegetarian options: I had vegan chorizo and if no one told me I would have never known the difference!! Amazing flavor!
Having recently just discovered this place (in my new town), I must say I just adore this place. It has everything I’ve been looking for - charming and serene ambiance;,organic healthy delicious (local) food with a wide variety of choices - with meat and meatless; excellent coffee and house made pastries. Service is excellent too - and a great location. Delightful owner. Great community feel. Lunch menu is equally as wonderful as the extensive breakfast menu.Dietary restrictions: Huge range of choices - easy to eat vegan or vegetarian…Parking: Big lot right behind cafe; lots of street parking nearby.Kid-friendliness: High chairs, saw kids there each time I went.Wheelchair accessibility: Street level, easy access, directly from car parked outside front door.
The potato hash is epic! The granola cookie is one of the best I have ever had! I feel the love.

Been coming here for over 20 years! The food is always so delicious. I love the cafe bistro atmosphere and the folks who work here are always pleasant. I haven’t eaten anything here I did not enjoy. My absolute favorite things to get are the Cappuccino, Mediterranean Salad and the Roasted Eggplant Sandwich! You can sit outside which is so fun on a nice day. Highly recommend for a casual sit down lunch with a couple of friends. This is a small place so keep the groups small!
Food is absolutely delicious. Prices match the area. I got a basic breakfast with eggs, bacon and toast. But my gf got a "steamed" egg dish that was amazing. I can't remember what it was called but did have sun dried tomatoes in it. The issue I had with this place is that it is a little cramped. Some tables are hard to get your feet in and out of. Nothing that would stop me from going back.Edit: Corrected service to 5. Accidentally chose 4.

Excellent food. Shared a chorizo breakfast burrito with extra avocado and coffee. Looking at the other customer plates and they all looked really good. The service was prompt and friendly. Gave 4 stars because seemed just a tad bit pricey for single meal, but were told of the split plate charge up front. It was enough for our appetite this morning.

What a hidden gem! This bakery and coffee shop provided fresh product with a welcoming atmosphere. Super mom and pop vibes but with loads of character and charm. The coffee was warm and soothing along with an apple bake - no better start to the day. I caved and also got the parfait which was equally as good. Whether you’re sitting down or taking it to go, this place doesn’t miss!

Just got back home from a 3 week roadtrip in California and we all feel this was by far the best breakfast of our vacation. Would start my day there everyday if it wasn't on the other side of the world ?
