We waited 40 minutes for 2 sandwiches and pancakes. When we asked about the delay, we were told there were online orders and there were only 2 tables occupied in the restaurant. They were very kind and we paid for the food we didn't eat there. It's unfortunate, but for a cold breakfast, we can't give our comment on whether it was good or not.

I usually speak SO highly of this place and whenever I do get there food it it usually always through door dash or pick up, However my fiancé and I had time and pleasure to eat inside! However it was a cute little restaurant and made you feel comfortable. The young girl who we had waitressing looked like she just rolled out of bed mind you it was early around 8 AM but they were open, the lack of professionalism was ridiculous. We ordered two simple breakfast dishes, French toast and the waffles with an orange juice and water. We waited for our food to come out .. 40 mins later our food arrived cold and not enjoyable. My fiancé waffles were HARD as a rock he couldn't even bite into them we had to tell the waitress to please have him remake these, french toast lacked so much.. there was no taste and it looked like it was barley cooked ( rushed but took forever ) ... Also a few people came in to order and pick up orders and there's was done before our food even came out. The day we went was on a Tuesday morning, sad to say I will not be returning back to this place. The young lady kept dropping things as well on the floor while doing the silverware, while coughing and sneezing... I'm not sure if this is a family business or not but there is SO much they need to work on...

Such a pleasant place. Great food, customer service. Portion was HUGE. My sister and I shared a plate and still had leftovers. Dessert was simply delicious. I will most definitely be back.

Came here for a quick coffee after a long day at work it was a calm and clean spot. The outside seating was great, it was very spacious and the coffee was great! The young lady at the front was very nice too

The waitress here was super nice. The food was average. My plate came out with a hair in the food. The coffee was the worst coffee I've had in a while. I was hoping a Colombian place would make a strong coffee but the cappuccino only tasted like milk and water. No coffee flavor at all. Both my friend and I couldn't finish our coffees because they were flavorless. The food was not good enough for the price they were charging for it. It seemed expensive for average food.

Everything with a crust is so yummy and the alfajor cookies are fresh and tasty. Looking forward to going back for the fruit pies. The location is nice and the service went beyond.

The place looks great. My wife and I had high expectations going in because of the reviews and how the place looked. I ordered an oat milk cappuccino and eggs benedict and she ordered an iced coffee with some half and half and an omelette with spinach and mushrooms

The coffee was tough. Iced coffee looked like a glass of milk and tasted like water and milk with a slight hint of coffee. The cappuccino ratio was way off. It was two shots of espresso with what had to be nearly two cups of oat milk. No froth/foam and super liquidy. Just way too much milk. Couldn't even taste the espresso

The eggs benedict was not cooked all the way through. English muffins were seemingly untoasted and the eggs were not poached nearly enough. I cut the eggs open on the English muffin and they legitimately disappeared into a mixture of hollandaise sauce, yolk, runny whites from the uncooked egg and water. The potatoes were somehow worse. They deep fried potato slices, but they were mush and tasted like a mouthful of oil from the fryer.

The omelette was not great either, unfortunately. It clearly came off a dirty flattop, had no flavor and I'm pretty sure they used canned mushrooms that were definitely not sauteed before put in the omelette. It was just not great. I really hope the place improves because it's a cozy little spot in a nice location

This place is so cozy, great working place for a cup of coffee, and old fashion adorable decor. Went with my best friend and the food was delicious. Staff was great and welcoming.

CAUTION⚠ My boyfriend & I got food poisoning from this place back a month ago in March as you see in the pictures attached. We ordered two SEPARATE food items and we both managed to go through the excruciating pain of food positioning. We both missed out of work and I thought by having a polite phone conversation with them that they might handle the situation. One of the girls on the phone told me that the owner doesn’t speak English so I wouldn’t be able to speak to her directly. Nothing was handled. I also asked them to kindly check their kitchen to see what needs to be thrown out as a courtesy for other customers to not go through this. I was never reimbursed, like I was asked on the phone. They never called to handle the situation other than to ask what time did I come. Because I’m not the type of person to go after people maliciously, I told them I wouldn’t write a review, sue them or contact a lawyer or have them pay medical expenses. Instead, I only called them and gave them time. Now a month later, I figured I’d write a review being that they never gave me a reimbursement or tried to fix the situation. I love small businesses, especially when they’re immigrant owned. But it’s unfortunate that they didn’t think twice to even acknowledge what they have done, considering we were supportive paying customers.
