Cute little place. They can be busy in the mornings. With a smaller eating area inside it can be a wait to get seating if they are busy. Love the food. The coffees are delicious as well. Want to try something different this is a adorable quaint place to try.

French toast and one of the delicious homemade Hispanic savory items (sorry - I don't remember which one).
But i ate the entire thing and will be back.
Great service, friendly staff and outside seating.
Tasty coffee and non dairy options - which are not easy to come by.
Thanks guys 🌻
