The food has always been fresh and well prepared, and the cookies are easily the best perhaps, I've ever had!

This is my first time visiting this establishment. I paid for the ‘A.M. special’ this included two eggs made your way, some bacon and a choice of a pair of french toast or pancakes. I also ordered multigrain toast on the side and a large coffee. Which came close to $18.00 and a $4.00 tip. The cashier was great. Then from there it all went downhill. She gave me the cup size I order and pointed the self serve coffee station along with a handheld number stand. Which I was okay with. That’s when the interaction stop. I was left standing there to figured out my own seating and make my own coffee. As I scanned the room it was a given that you either share tables or get one for yourself when one becomes available. Since there was no seating available inside the market. I was force to eat outside in the winter cold. Thank goodness for the sun being out to warm my back and clear sky. So silly as it seems. I was the only person eating outside. My breakfast was served. But where’s my side of multigrain toast? I was given French toast instead of pancakes. The only thing that was right was the eggs and a few ‘bottom of the barrel’ bacon that was crumbled up on my plate. No offer of syurp or a courtesy that a space open up inside. Just a server putting a plate in front of me with silver ware, no napkins and dashing out of my sight before I can ask him about my missing and wrong food order. I talked to the cashier inside and she made me wait for quite some time and forgot to talk to whomever is in charge. So yes. My meal went cold with birds eating from it while I waited to get feedback. I realized that this is a place you pick up your dirty dishes put them in a bin. Like a cafeteria and as I re-scanned the room. Low and behold lots of free space to sit. (Again a courtesy could be given to a person who’s out eating alone in the winter cold). I left disappointed and not giving a thought to go back for a second chance. From a new customer who will never come back to dine. Thank you for making this experience unpleasant.

Overall, loved the ambiance- the decor is nice, and the bustle is cheerful. The food was warm and filling, very solid. (Pancakes are very fluffy)Kid-friendliness: It’s very kid friendly and family oriented, saw lots of local parents with their kids

My favorite place to chill, relax have some great coffee, a creative omelette, and hang out with friends. A unique place to be sure.

Thank you to our niece and nephew for commending us to this hidden gem! It's in the middle of a residential area and it gives you the immediate impression that you are amongst friends, not your friends, but, they are friends who have been meeting there for years. A cozy wood fire stove adds to the ambiance. The staff is top notch, friendly and helpful. You order then sit w a number on your table. They obvy specialize in coffee with too many options to mention. My espresso was strong and good and my wife had regular coffee which she loved. Many options for add ins to the coffee. She also had avocado toast which was great. I had my first scromlette. Really interesting and delish! Not overloaded with cheese which I prefer. It was the scarpariello. I really loved it. Now, this place does mad baked goods, croissants (at least 3 kinds), cookies etc. Also great and people go nuts and buy 'em up quickly. All in all, we loved it and will be back often!

A fun place for coffee and a sandwich. Crowded and noisy and very long wait for food when busy.Parking: Not easy but you can probably find something within a few blocks.Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly, no alcohol and very rustic.
We’ve been here many times. It’s a local favorite. They have good fresh baked croissants and cookies. Good coffee and we love their breakfast/brunch. If you like prosciutto, pesto and mozzarella, try The Paisan. Like most restaurants, it’s busier on weekends than weekdays. Off street parking.
Great place to meet friends and the food is great. Not inexpensive and there's a long wait line on Sundays but it's dog friendly outside and we enjoy going there.Parking: It's a neighborhood so parking is in front of people's houses. It's near St Mary's by the Sea. Park on the street and walk. Then take a walk to the ocean beach walk.

The best Cuban Sandwich in the area. This spot is very popular among the locals. Great sandwiches, coffee and breakfast. There is usually a line but be patient, well worth the wait. Plus the line moves pretty fast. They have large tables you get to share with others. There is usually a seat, people move in and out quickly. When the weather is warmer they also have outside dining.
Yesterday I came here with some family for a quick bite to eat! Two people got the beach sandwich and the other person got a turkey wrap! All of the items we got here to eat were extremely delicious! I also got one of the specialty fall drinks! That drink that I got was amazing! They also have baked goods from cookies to scones and many more tasty treats! I highly recommend that you come here you won’t be disappointed! I’m definitely coming back here many more times!
