“Found this gem as a tourist! I got the shrooms breakfast sandwich on their fresh brioche bun - fluffy eggs, melty cheese and mushrooms, so delicious and beautifully made. Cute cozy place with great matcha and coffee too. Yes, mornings get a really long line but it's worth it, the staff is super kind and works insanely fast to get everything out perfect. Will definitely be back every time I'm in town! 🍳“

“Food good, but not great. Omelet tasty, but a bit dry. Portion was generous. Waitperson was alone, but friendly and managed to keep up on service. Bathroom needs remodel badly (shabby, broken toilet seat, sink fixtures need replacement). Easy access and plenty of parking.“

“Have been here several times for breakfast and lucky for us we almost always get Naomi as our server, although every one is super nice! Naomi is very attentive and will give suggestions if you ask. She’s awesome! Today hubby and I each got the Huevos Rancheros-delicious! Two crispy tortillas with black beans, their yummy ranchero sauce, cheese and two perfect eggs over medium. I never ever finish my breakfast but this was so good I did and finished before the hubby-lol! And the bill was $37.00. I can’t remember the last time I paid this little of an amount for a delicious breakfast for two. They also have daily lunch specials-always good and so reasonable!“
