I recently visited this adorable breakfast spot, and I absolutely loved it! The atmosphere is so cute and welcoming, perfect for a cozy morning meal. The plates are generous and their crepes were absolutely delicious. Staff was nice. Highly recommend!

Absolutely loved this place!
Crepes and croissants were filled with incredible flavors and made to perfection. The service was quick, friendly, and efficient. Definitely a must-visit for breakfast or brunch!

Unfortunately, this was a really disappointing breakfast experience. We waited over an hour for our food after ordering, even though the restaurant was not close to being full.

We ordered the sunrise “juice,” which was so thick you basically had to chew it. We also got four California Bowls—one had eggshells in it, and another had undercooked eggs. On top of that, one person in our group ordered a juice and was later told they couldn’t make it because the person responsible was “busy,” which didn’t feel like a valid excuse.

The kitchen alarms were also going off the entire time, which made the experience stressful rather than enjoyable. The only positive was our waiter, who was kind, apologetic, and clearly felt bad about how long everything was taking. Unfortunately, even the coffee wasn’t good.

Overall, not worth the wait or the price.

Ordered through their website and was waiting over an hour for the food so we decide to call. After calling numerous times they finally answered and casually said “oh we can’t deliver that today, can you come pick it up?” Like excuse me what?? They never even started cooking the food or even thought to call us to let us know they can’t make our food or deliver it while we just patiently waited. So don’t even know what their food tastes like and will never know.

I had an amazing breakfast experience at this downtown Tampa gem! The menu offers so many delicious options that it was hard to choose, but I ended up trying their stuffed croissants and chicken & waffles, both were absolutely incredible.
Beyond the food, the service was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. I’ll absolutely be coming back! Highly recommend!!

The food was excellent. Perfect spot for brunch with a wide variety of options on the menu. We had the chicken and waffles with a Gasparilla crepe and a New York style croissant, everything was delicious. Staff was great. Highly recommend.

My family enjoyed the overall experience, the food was good. The restaurant offers good value for your money, with good portions and a good location. This place it's a cozy spot, though not fancy, but great for breakfast or lunch.

The manager (or owner) was present, and I noticed he was working hard.

Another male waiter and a female with glasses waitress caught my attention, providing excellent service to his tables and being friendly and personable.

Unfortunately, our waitress seemed irritated, impatient and rude or annoyed. Perhaps she was having a bad day, but that this is no excuse when you work in the restaurant industry. Due to the above, I left a tiny tip.

I still highly recommend this restaurant and hopefully this waitress understands that the better service and attitude the more money she'll earn.

Love the location, love how they decorated the interior. However, I think it’s just what I ordered That Made me feel unfulfilled. But this is a nice spot to get something Light. But I don’t think I will come back here again.

Our waiter was very nice, not sure of his name. Service was somewhat slow because he was the only one working the front, not his fault. Food was just ok. A long hair was found in my eggs on my sandwich. Pancakes were overcooked so we didn’t eat them all. I did have to ask for a discount.
