I've passed this place and wanted to give a try, after finally someone taking my order at the counter it came out in about 15 minutes. The place has a coffee house vibe, great tunes, and beer and wine. I got the chicken pesto sandwich with salad instead of fries. All ingredients are fresh. Standard dressing is balsamic. Sandwich came HOT and is a knife and fork sandwich, it is so packed with delicious ingredients it falls apart. Great hidden gem

I like coming here to meet with friends in a relaxed setting and healthy food options.

Came here for a baby shower and was able to enjoy this place with some great service and entertainment that they provide. They have their own parking lot, so when you park it should be quite easy to get inside. Once you go inside, you are immersed in an open room with different parts that is separated for ordering, dining, and lounging. If you go further inside, they have additional rooms that is an activity room for kids, and another room that is for people to host parties.FoodI was able to try some of the food that came with the party, the fried chicken, the pasta stood out to me. It was nice that they had juice, soda, utensils and all the food ready for the guests to enjoy. Just wish that their plates weren’t so flimsy.Activity RoomThis room had so many things, ping pong table, to computers to play video games, to a huge connect 4, to even small arcade machines to play classic games like street fighter. There was just a few devices that wasn’t working.Like I mentioned the staff were really nice, and I really don’t have anything to complain about this place. They also had a bit of an outside but I wasn’t able to experience that. If only a place like this exists towards San Bernardino. Until next time!

Had the steak sandwich with sweet potatoes and ot was OK. Can't complain, the prices here are so low compared to all the restaurants. Nice chill 0lace to hang out. Cool game room for the kids in the back. But one lady was too comfy here. She took off her shoes and kicked up her bare feet on the couch while she was reading her book. And the poor worker is way overwhelmed with everything. He was doing the job of 4 people. People didn't want to wait so they left because the kid was too busy from taking orders, making coffee, serving food, cleaning up after people, and taking care of all the online orders.

Ordered a Grande steak burrito and towards the end of it i bit on something platicky and spat out a large piece of wrapper of some sort. Yuck. I think i ate smaller pieces of plastic because i found some in my mouth afterwards. Took it to the front girl, who took it back and i was left hanging for 20 minutes. No follow up whatsoever. No explanation. Asked for refund and left. Lmao what a joke. Things can happen when you run a restaurant but when mishaps happen you dont just leave the customer hanging lol. I think i ate a bunch of plastics to be honest. If i get sick from this im suing this place.

Fantastic service- the most welcoming and attentive staff! They keep the location clean, check in on the customers, bring complimentary water to groups without being asked, and always carry warm smiles! Love this place

Good food with lots of room to grab a table. Service was also attentive. Was a nice place to catch up with a friend for lunch.

Walked in on a late Sunday morning. I was headed to Coffee Bean on Artesia, saw this place, and decided to stop in for coffee here instead. I don't know if the hostess was having a bad day, didn't feel like being at work, or if I was the wrong color -- but the greeting and treatment I received let me know that I didn't need to come back again. And it's not like they were slammed with business. She spoke quickly, tossed the menu at me, and mentioned something about seating myself. I said I wouldn't be staying and after giving half a thought to ordering coffee, I said nevermind and left. I have a thing about not spending money where it feels like my presence is unwanted.

My friend and I stopped in (for the first time) for a post-Christmas lunch. It was the first time for both of us. Rather awkward to stand around wondering if we were supposed to seat ourselves as the 2 employees behind the counter did not acknowledge us. We sat in a table in the front; the rear seemed to be more family oriented. Had to go to the counter and ask what the procedure was. We took a couple of menus, made our selections, and paid at the counter. Rather weird to be asked if we wanted to tip as generally you tip AFTER your meal. Neither of us gave a tip. The food was delivered by a very nice young man, and we both enjoyed our lunch (avocado toast for my friend; a burger for me); my only issue was that I twice requested it be cooked medium and it was well done. What was really bizarre, however, was that we had to keep asking for items that are normally already on the table: Salt, pepper, ketchup, napkins, etc. They apparently have an aversion to salt and pepper shakers also as the salt came in those tiny paper things and the pepper was placed into a small cup. We gave a cash tip to our server as we weren't sure where the tip paid with the meal would go. Personally I don't believe a cashier who merely rings you up deserves a gratuity.

The service was fast and friendly, and the interior is clean but maybe a little stylistically confused--half sofa islands, and half regular tables and booths. Tiled walls and narrow windows near the dealings lend a bit of institutional feel to the mix. My kids ordered scrambled eggs with bacon and hash browns, and the kids menu Mac & cheese. I had a burrito with steak. The scrambled eggs came just a few minutes after we ordered, suggesting it was premade. My son devoured it anyways and said it was good. The Mac a d cheese came next, and my burrito last. The steak inside the burrito was plentiful and surprisingly good. All in all, it was a nice lunch break.

I ordered Avocado Toast based on the recommendation of employees at the local physical therapy office across the street. The dish had whole wheat toast with a fried over easy egg and sliced avocado atop the egg with chili powder. Pretty simple dish with no meat. I also ordered a hot cocoa which was disappointing. I could have made it at home with powdered cocoa and hot water and it would have tasted better. The total for the above breakfast was almost $20 including tip. I like to support local businesses but they have to be better than IHOP or Denny's chain competitors. I think the restaurant has a lot of open space for people who have no where else to hang out, study, or socialize. It's built for a generation with plenty of time on their hands to lounge.
