This is the best breakfast burrito I've ever had. I never used to understand breakfast burritos. I'd rather just have a real burrito for breakfast. This changed my mind. I'm fully in love with the breakfast burrito. The hot sauce is delicious! I'm trying to find more things to put it on. I have had the BLT and soup here also. Quite tasty! I discovered this place last week and already ordered from them 3 times. They also follow directions really well. I ordered through Grubhub and added a shot of espresso to the order with a note to add it to one of the lattes I also ordered. They did it and labeled it! I'm so impressed. I don't have a picture of the food because I ate it up so fast but here is a haiku I wrote to my breakfast burrito: Breakfast burrito You changed my life forever I love you always

Today my Fiancé and I visited, both of our breakfast sandwiches were very very good.My Fiancé's coffee was great!!. The owner Tom is a really great guy. This is one of our favorite breakfast and lunch local businesses.

On of my favorite things about this place is the service, the ladies and the owner always take care of me and make conversation. It’s nice to know when you walk through the door you’re taken care of! I also love their sandwich’s - I get bacon and cheese on a croissant!

I ordered the Cuban sandwich that was one of today’s specials. It was delicious. Everyone was very friendly and helpful when I was asking about an allergy I have. Will be back- soon!

Happy to stop in yesterday and grab a steak and egg burrito for breakfast and an egg salad for lunch later. Got to run into Tom and enjoy a conversation over a latte and it all made my day. Stop in and enjoy. It’s really a great burrito!

My husband, friend and I each ordered a different sandwich. We thought the food to taste fresh and the fillings were generous. With food prices going up and up, we felt our sandwiches were fairly priced with a generous portion. Nicely decorated, clean, soft background music, and friendly service. Definitely recommend.

Good coffee and sandwiches. At first I was shocked that the bagel place had changed into this, however, no offense but some of their sandwiches actually taste better on bread now than bagels...

I went to go see if the The Great American Bagel was open, it was not, but to my pleasant surprise, The Curator’s Cafè was open! I loved this place when it was a bagel shop and love it even more now. I am so happy for the owner doing something new & that they love while supporting local artists and small businesses.
