Category: Diner The first thing you see upon entering this very popular local haunt only a couple of blocks from the main drag are red leather booths, the black and white tiled floor, and the visible part of the kitchen. To the left is the largish dining room with booths, banquettes, and tables, mirrors along the long wall, and a high ceiling with mementos. The dining rooms are comfortable and homey, and would be good places to dine on a cooler day. The overall feel is of an upscale diner of yesteryear, where we would be regulars if we lived nearby. But if the weather is good, as it was when we visited, outside is where you want to be. The umbrellaed patio with rustic fence and overflowing flower boxes offers many tables, including a large double firepit table for a small group, and a lucky potbellied buddha sheltered by an old tree. There are also a few tables on the sidewalk outside the fence. The menu offers all of the usual suspects of breakfast and lunch diner fare with some South of the Border choices. My BLT was excellent and well balanced with equal amounts of B, L, and T. My four friends loved their dishes as well. Everything was well-prepared and well-presented, the service was excellent, and the setting was superb. YouTube's Chef's Apprentice

It would be awesome if they had gluten free/dairy free/nut free pancakes. I have food allergies and could only eat steak and bacon. The place is really cute and the service was excellent.

Amazing atmosphere, amazing service, amazing food. The staff is super friendly, and on top of their game. My whole experience was 10 outta 10, from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The only thing that was a bit of a hard time, was the parking part.

Their pancakes are so fluffy and filling. I love the fact that they have an outdoor area. Me and my girlfriends love having brunch at this place. We try to go there atleast every other month.

Location was cool, but the filthy umbrellas kept dropping dirt into our drinks and food. Hash browns were mid also

You must go here. Parking can be tricky but worth the stroll!
Generous portions. Inside or patio equally nice.

From the town to the the cafe the atmosphere was beautiful and serene. Immediately welcomed by any crew members who walked by and taken to our table quickly, I already knew what i was there for: The Nutella french toast that i saw in the google pictures. Originally going with the intention of a savory breakfast was just easily persuaded by the beautiful picture and i am glad it was cause it was AMAZING the fruit was so fresh snd the french toast made straight to perfection. I would go back to California soley for this cafe and the french toast. High quality food and portions for an affordable price in a wonderful restaurant like this? Sign me up!

WOW! Love trying new local restaurants when we travel. The food was delicious, options for everyone. But the Ice Tea said it was brewed with Plums. I forgot to ask about this process but it was amazing and I would go back just for tea. Service was spot on. Can't wait to come back next time I am in the area.

💣💣💣💣 PLACE FOR BREAKFAST OR LUNCH‼️ The food is always consistent and DELICIOUS‼️ The staff is STELLAR‼️ It has become my go- to place for a good morning vibe. The pork chilaquiles are bold in flavor. Highly recommend. Top it off with a michilado and your day is set.
