Parking is hard to get, construction doesn’t help finding this location but it is worth it although pricey. The only negative thing I have for this place is the water. It tastes like it’s coming straight out of the hose from outside. Not even tap water. Aside from that, the food and latte coffee were delicious! The special, chicken chilaquiles were surprisingly good! Spicy but tasted good! The single pancakes also great! The Madagascar vanilla latte perfect thanks to the server/cashier who made sure he made it perfect after seeing I was craving one! The straws are cheaply made.

The food was good, and it's a really cute place to have brunch. Loved the decorations and the vibe of the place. It's close to the beach area too.

Awesome delicious food! Gluten free options galore & gluten free pancakes! The build your own hashbrowns, holy goodness! The manager Kevin is super sweet & knowledgeable about celiac accommodations. Did I mention the hollandaise is gluten free too? ?Dietary restrictions: Gluten free goodness & pancakes!

We ordered chai and they brought us coffee. When we mentioned that we ordered chai, they got mad at us and gave us attitude. We ended us walking out and they were totally fine letting us leave. Horrible customer service.

Great breakfast spot knowing for their build your own hash but I decided to try their French toast and it was superb. Topped it off with a nice spread of fresh fruit. Plan to go back for the hash. Super chill vibe as well.

I would like to start this by saying the food was good, a 3.5-4 star rating. Everything else (if possible a zero star rating.) If you are the manager of this establishment please read this. It is not a rant, more just a bit of information. We stopped in yesterday (Sunday) typically a busy day for breakfast/ brunch spots. First note- it is a fast casual experience... order in the front, receive your drinks and number then seat yourself. This is becoming a popular business model. A key to making this work is having someone in the front who can communicate well and be the face of your business. This was a big fail. the gentleman in the front may have been having a bad day but when we requested to have a change on a menu item (breakfast burrito- egg, bacon, cheese only). He got extremely confused... I requested a breakfast burrito add sausage. Then we also ordered an orange juice and an apple juice. The bill was 80$ after an 18% tip. For two people at a fast casual stop! (I'm pretty sure I was overcharged but I didn't want to confuse him anymore) Once we went to sit, I noticed that all of the empty tables (about 5-6) were not bussed. How are people supposed to seat themselves if staff can't keep the seating clean and ready. I proceeded to buss them myself because at this point there were two other groups looking for an area to sit. I used a towel from their clean cup staging area and drinking water to clean the tables near me. At this point I started to get frustrated in my efforts to just sit down. We ended up sitting outside because we didn't want to sit next to the booth that was piled with dishes. (Since we walked in). Once outside the rest of my time was filled with observations of frustration. As time goes on, the tables still are not getting bussed, the line to order is getting longer. As you can already assume... no one is able to find a seat, or if they do- it's stacked with dirty dishes... all the while- if a runner comes out with food, he returns empty handed. Passing all of these tables that need to be cleaned. This goes on for 15-20 minutes. Finally I see a buzzer come out with his black tote. HE ONLY CLEARED OFF ONE TABLE! Then disappeared again. The host at the front then came out to wipe the tables, the most pathetic attempt at cleaning I've seen. Then he went to a table that needed cleaned that had two people sitting at it. He said nothing to them then proceeded to wipe all of the crumbs (I'm assuming unintentionally) onto the woman's lap... I was blown away. It has now been about 45 minutes and we haven't seen our food. I went in to use the restroom and saw easily 8-10 plates at the window that needed to be ran.... We got our food at about an hour in... the food was good and they got our order with add one and change's correct. The kitchen was performing but everyone else needs to have some coaching. By the time we left- the booth that had all of the dishes on it when we arrived.... STILL HADN'T BEEN TOUCHED...

The side of salsa they serve with your meal is delish!! I like that they have a breakfast bowl that you can customize. More places should do that. My latte and breakfast bowl was really great. They have a veggie sausage option and most place don't. the side of salad was a nice touch. it was fresh and bright green. ( not yellow) :) My boyfriend enjoyed his omelette. He did mention it was on the cold side. There was loud construction going on right next to the restaurant. That's obviously not their fault. It did make it less relaxing.

Excellent and creative menu with delicious food and great service! There were so many different options to choose from, and everyone was fresh and tasty!

Food was amazing. I had one of their specials Chilaquiles, the red sauce was flavorful. The chicken, tortillas, cheese and extra salsa were all on point. We also ordered the 3-egg white frita and it tasted good. The avocado was rolled in sesame seeds and pumpkin seeds. Everything was delicious
Food was ok. Not as great as the reviews had made out. Ambience was good. Had the build your own hash. Being a vegetarian, who does not eat eggs, forgot to tell them no egg, but they didn't even ask me how I wanted my egg...came out fried on top...had to carefully take it off as it was over easy. My son had the burrito and it was ok. Coming. From New Mexico, we are used to hot chile and sauces. Not hot at all, even after the person who took our order told us he would give us the hottest sauce: which is what I am guessing cholula with salsa, at least that is what it tasted like

First impression. The guy taking our order looks like Jimmy Fallon and he makes a great cafe latte. This place was two blocks from our hotel on State Street and has good inside and outside seating. The fried chicken eggs Benedict on avocado toast was excellent and the chicken chilaquiles were the second best (by a razor sharp margin) that I have ever had. Yes the place is expensive, but the portion sizes are above average and the food is great.

Unfortunately, the restaurant is hard to find because there is construction in front of the restaurant. The concept is an order at the counter, sit down environment. I ordered the Madagascar Vanilla Bean Latte with oat milk and it was so good. I highly recommend it. For food, we got the gluten free pancakes and we built our own hash: sweet potato, veggie sausage, spinach, and an over medium egg. The pancakes were meh, but the hash was delicious. I enjoyed it.
Mina S.
One of our favorite breakfasts we've had so we went back again. Service was great considering its not 100% full service restaurant. You order at the counter. There was construction when we went and parking was closed. You can hear street noise so definitely not the best location or ambiance. Would recommend for the food though.
Hunter
Pretty decent spot and great location. We were the only ones there and it took quite a while to get the food. If you have allergies or are a picky eater, make sure to confirm everything that comes with a dish because the menus don’t show all items. Don’t order hot chocolate from here
