I don’t really like leaving these types of reviews but honestly the last time I visited there it was upsetting. My sister came into town and we went to have breakfast there. The food was good don’t get me wrong but it was over priced for the amount that they served. My brother got the pancakes and they were super thin and simple for the price he paid. They did get our coffee order wrong which was okay I understand we are human but they made us feel uncomfortable/bad by giving us looks for it. The whole time we were eating we felt rushed like they wanted us to hurry and leave since we were a decent size of a group, there was 6 of us. We felt uncomfortable by the staff there. I’ve been there when they first open and I loved it everyone was super nice and welcoming but this time around it felt the complete opposite. It was unfortunate that’s we had this experience I was really excited to show my sister this place but it was just not it.

I’ve been wanting to try this place for two years and we finally went. I haven’t found a great brunch place since we moved here, but cafe con leche was awesome! We both got chilaquiles and then tres leches pancakes. My one year old got a cheese quesadilla and ate the whole thing.

The chilaquiles were delicious. I guess I forgot a picture but we got both red and green sauces and it was so flavorful and a lot of food. One suggestion would be to add another egg on top.

As far as the tres leches pancakes. I had a picture in my head of what I wanted it to look like, and the real version exceeded expectations. Absolutely amazing. And the coffee was great too. We will definitely go back cause the menu has several things I’d love to try.

I ordered a croissant egg & cheese sandwich on DoorDash. The description said only egg and cheese, but I even added a note saying “please no meat touching my food.” I’m Muslim, so this is something I’m extremely careful about.

I opened the sandwich, took a bite, and realized there was ham inside. I had to throw the whole thing out and literally got sick. When I called, they told me DoorDash writes the menu descriptions (??) and that they “didn’t know ham counts as meat.” That response alone is unbelievable.

If you have any dietary restrictions—religious or otherwise—be careful ordering from here. They clearly don’t read notes and don’t take customer concerns seriously. I won’t be ordering again.

Stopped in for breakfast at Café con Leche and it was such a great experience. The place has a super welcoming, colorful atmosphere with plenty of natural light, and it feels like a perfect little neighborhood café.

The food was delicious — the lunch burrito was huge, stuffed, and full of flavor, and the omelet plate looked just as good with a generous portion and fresh toast on the side. The salsa they serve with the dishes adds the right amount of kick. We also ordered lattes, and they were excellent: rich, smooth, and topped with beautiful latte art.

Service was quick and friendly, and everything came out hot and well-presented. It’s the kind of spot where you can relax, enjoy good conversation, and take your time. Definitely a place worth coming back to for breakfast or brunch.

Highly recommend if you're in the area!
