I loved this place and the Brazilian server lady was extremely kind and the service was amazing! I hope this special place comes back after this devastating fire 😓

The place looked cute so we decided to stop by at 2:30 pm on a Saturday. We waited like 20-25min and no one came to take our order but we were the only ones on the restaurant.. we ended up going to cafe vida around the corner instead.

This place is super cute with the decoration! The atmosphere as a little garden is super nice and it’s very chill.

The menu offers a large choice of items from sandwiches, to salads, omelets and breakfast options.

We got the burger that was really good. The breakfast wrap was also very nice! Well served.

A lot of items that I still would like to try so we will be back to try more!

I found this place online and decided to try it. When you walk by on the street, you are met by a hidden garden/dining room that you sort of just have to know where it is. They have a small but diverse breakfast menu where most people including kids should find something. The food wasn't particularly good, but the service and ambiance was. The waitstaff continually checked in on us and the real star of the show was the garden atmosphere. Overall, a fun and unique experience that I highly recomend.

One of my favorite restaurants (for breakfast, lunch and brunch).
The huevos rancheros is excellent and the avocado toast is very good. I haven’t tried the eggs Benedict yet- I think I’ll try that today:)
The staff is courteous, prompt and attentive.
As great as the food and staff are, the garden decor is probably my favorite thing about the cafe.
