Highly recommended! ✅️ I stopped by to have breakfast with my family and had a great experience 🌟. The food was as good as expected. We tried the pumpkin spice waffle, banana bread pancakes, and regular pancakes with chocolate chips, all delicious 🥞🧇. Based on their recommendation, the Harissa avocado 🍞🥑 (with sourdough toast) was also really good. Then, we had hot chocolate and coffee. Overall, their food is 5 stars, and their service was excellent as well—courteous and knowledgeable, 5 stars. The restaurant is small but neat and well decorated, with a vintage vibe, offering both booths and tables. The restroom 🚻 was spotless, as it should be. They have maximized the space, making it feel homey, 5 stars. The price/quality makes total sense. It is located within a plaza, meaning there is ample parking, accessible spots, and ramps🅿️ ♿️. Overall, a very good experience.✨️
Wow... Just left there after having breakfast/brunch and I have to say, we definitely want to come back for lunch one day!
To say the staff is pretty amazing is an understatement. Everyone is smiling, friendly and just plain happy! Everyone we saw greeted us or thanked us for stopping in.
The coffee menu is extensive, with ever changing, tasty combinations. I had the Hot as Hades Red Eye coffee, which was amazing. Piping hot, a touch of spicy heat and fresh whipped cream topping it off. My wife had the DarkStar Chai, which she found equally delicious.
I went for the Morning Star omelet. It was stuffed with chorizo, peppers and onions. It was plenty big enough, I should have only ate half, but it was too good! Hahaha... The parmigian smash potatoes were fantastic! So nice and crunchy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside. We ordered a side of them, thinking I'd only get a couple with my meal. We'll, not only were there enough for both of us on my plate, but the side order was a huge bowl! They definitely won't go to waste ;) The sourdough toast was two nice sized slices of bread.
My wife had the Eggs and Arugala. A huge pile of vibrant, crunchy arugula that was lightly dressed. The over easy eggs went well with the delicious avacado toast. A perfect sized brunch meal.
We are looking forward to returning to try some of the delicious sounding items on the lunch menu.
I always try to find ma and pa spots whenever I'm out and about. This joint is a gem that needs a good spotlight. Very chill, and welcoming environment. The staff are very friendly and do a great job of making sure you're taken care of. The food was amazing and they give you very generous portions. If you're visiting or a local, I'd totally make time to stop in!
This is my second visit and they were both wonderful experiences. The service is friendly & attentive. The cold brew is tasty and something to look forward to for every visit! I had the corn and chorizo frittata which was delicious and huge! I could only finish half and can’t wait to devour it for breakfast tomorrow. Don’t hesitate to stop by!
The food and drinks here are incredible! Packed with flavor in every bite! I have been here twice in one week for lunch and both times blew me away ! The first thing I tried was the chicken and waffles then the second time the Avocado toast with the egg on top . Both dishes amazing! The strawberry mint drink is nice and refreshing on a hot day and the green tea matcha is smooth and sweet. Staff is also excellent. Can’t wait to come back and try something new !
