I forgot to take a photo of my chilaquiles! I just dove in. This is the best take on this classic dish I’ve had. Perfect chips taking on the AMAZING green sauce and poached eggs without getting soggy. A tiny sprinkling of feta and sprouts on top. Perfection. So don’t forget to come here for a meal, y’all!

Patika felt over priced and was just not the experience I was anticipating based on older pictures and reviews. It looks to be a coffee shop that expanded into a cafe. It’s very much a self service experience - seat yourself, place your order on your phone, get your own water and silverware. Food is prepared in a food truck out back and an employee delivers it to the table. I’m good with this when the prices reflect self service, but Patika’s prices are comparable to full-service restaurants. And sadly, the cold brew I ordered was the worst I’ve ever had. Limited food menu but my omelette was good (not great) and had a beautiful presentation. I also appreciated so much that they had a gluten-free muffin available. I’m sensitive to cross contamination and didn’t experience any reaction or issues with any of the food. And I felt welcomed by the 3 or so employees who said a friendly hello at the front counter, and explained the order process. I was disappointed that neither the indoor or outdoor spaces looked like the pictures that Patika posted a couple of years ago. The spaces very much lacked the charm they once had. There were more and bigger tables crammed everywhere. On the patio, they no longer had the charming, outdoor umbrellas shading bistro-style tables. But instead had a dirty, white tent over large, dirty picnic tables.

Dietary restrictions: I didn’t experience any issues with cross contamination - so a win! My interactions with staff were so limited that I can’t comment about whether they were knowledgeable or helpful about dietary restrictions. There were gluten free entrees and 1 gluten-free baked good available. While placing the order on my phone, there wasn’t a way to add a note or specify a dietary restriction…which did initially make me a little worried.

Parking: I appreciate so much that there is a large, free parking lot behind Patika! But…this parking lot is shared with Loro and a dog grooming place, and it gets packed. I found a spot at 10am but people were having a hard time finding spots at 11am when I left.

Lovely cafe with a nice patio. Great food, pastries and coffee. We brunch here every weekend!
The French toast (think giant jenga bricks) are to die for.

Patika is a pretty regular stop for me and I live 15 Mike's away. Amazing employees, food is always great with lots of options.

Some of the bast coffee beans in town❣️
I have worked as a coffee roaster in the past ☕️ The coffee is the biggest draw for me. Usually a cappuccino in my norrm, and I can walk in if it's slow and the barista already got my drink going.

Parking: Big lot in back, always spots available evan on the busiest weekends b

The place looks small from outside but it has lot of space inside and there is outdoor seating as well. The coffee is decent and they keep music low unlike some other places where its just too loud. Great place to hang out with friends or just work from there.

Vegetarian options: There are options.

Dietary restrictions: Yes, clearly marked

Parking: Plenty of parking

Loved the atmosphere, loved how attentive the owner and staff were. Plenty of seating on a Saturday morning. My latte was luke warm, bummer, but still delicious. Would try again solely based on the good energy that is here.

I wasn’t impressed at all. The barista was rude, the iced chai was watered down & had no flavor & my pastry was stale. The outside area is some chairs and tables on dirt. There are definitely better options around the area.
