“Great lunch. Very cool find on my way through town!“

“Great Customer Service. I have been here a few times with my family. Always good food & coffee. But today I was surprised when I believe the manager or owner (young tall slender lady) was running the register and I believe forgot to ring up my coffee. We got a lot of stuff so it’s understandable. But she saw me still waiting when she came back from checking on something in the back. It registered to me that she might have forgotten it when she asked the barista if she had made the Caramel Latte yet. They were talking quietly so I couldn’t catch it all. But I saw her check the register then whip up the latte herself. I’m not sure if she charged us for it or not(I didn’t pay). But I was very happy about how professional she handled the situation and I will definitely be coming back again.“

“Spendy, but isn’t everything these days? Favorites are the breakfast burritos (huge!) and the chicken fried steak. Beautiful view, friendly staff. Linger a little in the parking lot and soon you will see the Great Blue Heron and white heron activity in the eucalyptus grove across the way. That’s worth a few of those dollars right there - what a treat!“

“I used to work at the mall and this was my go-to place to get food, they have different things to choose from. Best fresas con crema, AMAZING ! I work at Cam now and i literally go to ventura just for the fresas con crema. The crepes are so good, and the owners are really nice.
