So, I've been eating at various restaurants in this location since college days living on La Riviera, and my wife and I lived across the street around the time we were first married, but coming back recently, it was obvious that the bar had been significantly raised. It is now our family's favorite breakfast spot in all of Sacramento, so much so that my kids wanted to come here for breakfast first thing after spending the last 24 hours on various planes returning from vacation. Stuffed hash browns are amazing! The staff is always super friendly, and really great with our kids. Honestly, I will order breakfast here well past morning, but my wife has ordered the Cali Club for lunch and that was awesome, too! This is a must visit for out-of-towners, and all you locals need to put it in your regular rotation!

Kid-friendliness: My kids absolutely love coming here, and it has surpassed their previous long-term breakfast spot!

I ride the bike trail early in the morning and stopped there for breakfast. The service and food are both wonderful.

Thankfully I stumbled across this restaurant one day because it was across the street from me. It was such a great experience that I just keep going back now even though I’ve moved. First, when you walk in you’re greeted with fresh baked cookies on the counter (for free!) and there usually isn’t ever a wait. The seating is comfortable and servers have all been incredibly nice. Everything I’ve ordered is a hit and they all come in great portion sizes so if you aren’t a big eater you can share a plate or take home some leftovers! My favorites I’ve gotten here is the fried rice and the chicken and waffles Benedict. It’s also nice that they have a good selection of bottomless drinks such as coffee and soda. It’s a very homey casual diner type restaurant with mostly brunch menu items but with a variety of options to choose from.

Food was delicious, service was slow, she was all by herself, but there was no aense of urgency. Instead of at least offering water and coffee while we waited, we waited for at least 15 minutes and then ordered drinks and food together. Interesting. It was a lovely meal with friends.

We love our weekend meal outings and try to look for another go to we can frequent. Sad to say though the service from our waitress was spectacular, they really do need the extra hands to provide timely service. There are two staff waitress and probably one cook which delayed receiving our order. Food ok, prices are up there with nothing to look forward to spend on a meal. I had a simple grilled cheese, he a burger. Again, I stress the waitress was amazing, quality of food and menu options have room to improve.

Parking: Plaza parking. Plenty of spots

This was my first time eating at this wonderful little cafe and I was not disappointed. I believe there was only one server on this day but she did an awesome job getting food to customers as fast as she could. Great job to this excellent server. The Eggs Benedict was A+ and I loved the variety of options for this delicious breakfast/brunch; good idea using smoked salmon as the meat, great pescatarian option with spinach. Thank you for an awesome first dining experience.

Vegetarian options: Ask your server for the best options as I didn't order vegetarian, I ordered an omnivorous option.

Dietary restrictions: Ask the server and they will be able to accommodate.

Parking: Seemed like decent parking as it is in a small shopping plaza.

Kid-friendliness: Seemed very child friendly from what I gathered from the gentleman and his child across from my table.

Wheelchair accessibility: The Door seemed to have great clearance and on good weather days they have outdoor dining.

I have to say this is probably the worst experience I’ve ever had in the restaurant I walked in around 11:40 on 2/24 with a family of four we waited at the door for about 15 20 minutes without being greeted we decide to seat ourselves after a while and still when we sat ourselves we aren’t greeted. Nobody brought us menus and keep in mind. There was only three other tables at the time there was two young ladies working, and none of them greeted us, would just walk past us and act as if we weren’t there. My first time and last time coming there.
