Super flavorful, classic American breakfasts.

My eggs benedict came with a little teeny side of my favorite condiment — sour cream — and it made my entire day.

Ordered a vegetarian omelette with sausage and it was delicious! Wasn’t too greasy. Lots of vegetables and just the right amount of cheese. It’s quiet and cozy with a wonderful staff!

Worst waffles ever. Don’t bother, I am a Chef. This kitchen is an embarrassment to the industry. Sorry but we had one bite of the waffle and couldn’t continue to eat the gummy thing covered in fake maple syrup. After I complained, they refused to take it off the bill and insisted I pay for it. ANY other establishment takes it as an opportunity to improve and grow instead of an opportunity to gouge an unsatisfied customer. Needless to say we won’t be returning.
Waiters did their best, but you can tell they are new. We arrived and they only had 4tables full, our coffee was late because they didn’t have enough mugs. WHAT?! We had to remind the waiter multiple to get our coffee. The food is poor to mediocre.

Great spot for brunch! Homey garden seating in the back, yummy mimosas & french toast. I’m vegetarian, so I swapped the bacon for a fruit bowl—and let me tell you, they respect the fruit. Cute lil melon balls, sweet lil slices, all fresh and ripe! Superb service. Will be back next time we get the Sunday brunchies!

i’ve been here twice both for their French toast platter that I’ve gotten via takeout. Even with me traveling with the food whenever I get home with it it’s still delicious. Their French toast is so fluffy and they give you three pieces. They’re also cheaper than the place that’s right next door and uses regular bread for their French toast. The coffee felt a little overpriced. I get a bigger, tastier cups from Peets for the same price and a bigger and tastier cup for less at Arizmendis

Only been once but I will be back, Quality ingredients is a must for me to return, The bacon was perfect and the blueberry pancakes were awesome. Small place and not alot of parking but I can see why they are still in business. Great food and employees.

Very cute breakfast cafe, serving traditional American dishes. Food was good but could be better if they had a special twist with an Asian theme for instance.
