Walked in after the lunch rush, there was only one person in front of me, that hadn't ordered yet. Three guys outside waiting for their food.
I watched the main older guy grilling one sandwich at a time. Then putting on the toppings one. at. a. time. Absolutely excruciating to watch.
No one acknowledged me when I walked in so I waited a few minutes. I asked the guy (in Spanish) where do I order and he said, "You have to wait, I'm making a sandwich."
90% of the grill space is empty, there are now 4 people behind me and the only person in front of me is arguing with the cashier and Older Guy why haven't they made her sandwich, she ordered a while ago.
How on earth can this place be making one sandwich at a time with three people working?!?
I left after ten minutes without ordering anything. Woman in front of me still has not had her sandwich started.

Great food and prices!!
It was 7 of us and they got us sat quickly. The waiter was very nice and polite. He did forget a few things but he was the only one serving and the restaurant was full.
We order breakfast and it was all very delicious. The breakfast combos are great and good portions. The egg and cheese croissant was delicious.
The freshly squeezed orange juice was perfect and a good size.

I walked in and waited several minutes and no one spoke to me. I stood at the counter for another several minutes and still no one spoke to me, there were two guys who were behind the counter making whatever orders they had, there was a person standing by the cash register and the server lady who had walked passed me didnt bother to look at me, and went and sat a a table with what appeared to be another customer. After waiting about 7minutes, I askeds the guys behind the counter if anyone was going to take my order, they looked at each other they looked at the lady in the booth and the guy at the counter, I repearted my self in Spanish as I am fully bilingual, being an American of Cuban descent, I fluent in both English and SPanish and still didnt get an answer, it was as though I was invisible. I waited several more minutes just to see if anyone would actually talk to me. After about 10 minutes or so, I walked out the door and have never returned.
The place looks great. The food smelled good, but they are horrible, how it is this place is still in business is beyond me.

This place has great food.
But the service and respect level for their customers is like negative 50. I don’t know whats going on in there this morning but they are getting into with everybody right now literally. Especially an older lady who works the register and cashes everyone out. She is the ultimate B WORD. Just go somewhere else, they’re a little too pricey too.

These People Are Racist.I Was Refused Service Because I Said The Pastries Wasn’t Fresh.
The food good, but honestly they are quite racist and its not funny at all.

I’m only taking my time to leave a review since the food is not bad, whoever is in charge of online orders needs to get it together fast or they will continuously lose business. Placed an order line 15 minutes later my husband shows up and they said they just got the order in.. ok not a problem. My husband than is waiting more the 40 minutes, turns out they assumed a Uber eats order was combined with our order because the person had a similar name. Does that make sense? If you were confused and you know one out of the two people that are coming to pick up an order is there then don’t you think you would ask? My baby was in the car with me FLIPPING HIS LID because we are waiting for my husband to come back to the car for more than 40 minutes that is unacceptable. Food is good but unfortunately will not be back. Work on creating a better system

In the last 15 years, I have passed by this little gem and not entered. Today, my wife and I decided to have breakfast there. The exterior does not do it justice. We stepped in and were immediately transported to a 50's Diner atmosphere. The decor was beautiful, the music was soft yet invited you to dance in your seat. The place was spotlessly clean. Our breakfast delicious along with nice hot cafe con leche and tostadas. We can't wait to go back and experience their pastrami sandwiches for lunch. Our server was Gaby and she was very friendly and gave us great recommendations. See you all again soon.

We just absolutely loved this Cafe! Spectacular decor! Like a 50's diner. The service was perfect, very attentive and friendly staff. Dine in or out it's so beautiful to admire. The food was done to perfection. Definitely would return to this place and recommend to everyone! Reasonably priced too.
