A cute local cafe with excellent coffee and breakfast options…read more The coffee has a very smooth and moderate taste and came out appreciably hot. The croissant (quaso) is flaky and airy while still having a slight crisp. The egg and sausage also have a nice texture, although I kinda like my eggs to be even fluffier now. I like the spinach as well. My only nitpick would be I'd love more sauce of some kind as well. They have healthier options that I'll have to try later.

I was disappointed with my recent visit. I asked what meats were available for sandwiches listing…read moretwo meats. I was told the choices, and that I could choose two different meats if I wanted. When I saw my total for sandwich and latte, I said it seemed a little high. The cashier looked at the menu boards and said it was "pretty close". I was in my happy place so I just went along. Got my digital receipt where I saw a $1.50 upcharge for two different meats. I didn't go back inside to dispute it, but was annoyed. Then I tasted the sandwich. Overripe avocado, eggs overcooked and dry, and very salty, cheap tasting turkey lunch meat. I expected better for a $15 breakfast sandwich. My hot latte was just warm. I had happily started out on a walk and thought to myself, let me give Katy's some love... I regretted that choice. Their cinnamon rolls are very good, I'll stick to those.

Our food was hot and fresh. I ordered the BbQ Chicken Salad, it was fresh with engorged tasty bits of veggies and chicken. It was for 11.99. Husband ordered the Turkey Club which was loaded with meat, bacon, tomato, Lettuce and avocado. Husband was satisfied. The meals came out together fairly quick. Staff was friendly and helpful.

I highly recommend renting the cafe as an event space for baby or bridal showers or small receptions their team will hook it up and make your day extra special! Great coffee too!!

Heading out early in the morning for meetings and usually drive out to the area early to have coffee somewhere and relax and check emails and do some work.... They do roast their own coffee and it wasn't too bad I do prefer a much lighter roast at times but I was fine with their coffee since it is better than the BUX.... Employees were nice and friendly...I tried a little of their Nitro Cold Brew as well and not bad (I'm not the biggest cold coffee drinker).... I do prefer hot coffee overall...

I'm not even a coffee drinker, but I tried the iced mazapan latte with oatmilk and was pleasantly surprised, it was creamy, slightly sweet, and actually really good. I'd order it again! My husband got a cortado with 3 shots and said it was smooth, robust, not too bitter, and perfectly balanced. He gave it an 8/10. Big shoutout to Josh for being so patient and helping us decide what to order, seriously amazing customer service. And shoutout to Tommy for making our drinks perfectly!

It looks like it might end where the corner is, but it extends all the way in. Note that it still fills up quick on the weekends. Very cute interior, coffee, cups, everything. The menu looks like graphic design was someone's passion, although I low key wonder if AI was used. The mazapan latte was a bit too creamy for me, but as someone that usually takes their coffee black, that's probably my fault for ordering something like that. The scrambled eggs were fluffy, and I like how they were mixed in. The cheese was a nice touch. Sometimes, I think refried beans + potato is too dry, but these beans were not as thick and the potato was also surprisingly soft and warm. It also came with some nice tortillas. Finally, a shout-out for this special hot sauce. It's deceptively hot for how sweet and syrupy it looks and feels. Quite tasty. I wouldn't mind purchasing a bottle of this.

We came on a Saturday and waited about 30 minutes to be seated--and let me be clear: this was not a wait, this was worthy anticipation. The interior alone is was everything! With Valentine's Day around the corner, the place is dressed like it's about to propose--warm, charming, cozy, and flirting with your serotonin. I started with the banana matcha, which arrived crowned with the cutest little bear ice cube I have ever seen in my life. I'm talking weaponized cute. The flavor? Smooth, balanced, lightly sweet, and comforting in a way that made me feel emotionally supported. I didn't just drink it--I healed. Then came the machaca. Listen. This dish did to me what that scene in Ratatouille did to that critic--except instead of a French childhood flashback, I was spiritually transported to a Mexican tia's kitchen I'm not even sure I've lived in. Deeply savory, perfectly seasoned, rich without being heavy. Every bite whispered, "You've been hungry for this your whole life." My husband ordered the huevos divorciados, but they were so good we convinced them to give their marriage another shot. Perfectly cooked eggs, sauces with actual personality, and a harmony so strong it felt like couples therapy on a plate. And then--the salsa. Served warm, spicy, and oil-based (the holy trinity), presented in a literal swan container. A SWAN. Regal. Dramatic. Slightly unhinged in the best way. I would've signed a lease for that salsa. The only tragedy of the entire experience is that I got full. Genuinely devastating. I would've happily kept eating until they had to roll me out wrapped in Valentine's decor. El Encanto isn't just delicious--it's joyful, playful, soulful, and absolutely worth every minute of the wait. I'll be back, hungrier and emotionally prepared next time. Elite Squad, if you're listening: this place understood the assignment.

I tried their farmer's sandwich and chose a jalapeño cheddar bagel. On it was sausage, bacon, egg,…read morecream cheese and red onion, and it was awesome. The egg was perfect! They also have a young man who plays jazz piano there every Sunday, so the ambiance is pretty awesome along with the nice weather. Sometimes it can get windy so bring a sweater, but otherwise, it's usually a really nice day to hang out with friends and family. I also had a matcha ginger thyme latte with oat milk which was just tasty since ginger is a rare flavor in coffee drinks. I loved it, and it was so good that I took an extra one home. The service is amazing, and on busy days you may have to wait a bit, but it's worth it. If you have any questions about a dish, don't hesitate to ask!

Contemplating going home after church and cooking breakfast I spot the lights on. I pull a Uturn, the place is pretty cool , a nipple menu of sandwiches and breakfast and lunch bowls.

Everything combined into a large bowl almost overflowing. My wife ordering the Eggy sandwich, it was a 4 egg she reduced it to a two egg. She says was delicious .

The staff is very nice, offering suggestions on drinks with big smiles and welcoming energy. Now the drinks and food: the drink I got last time was an iced mocha (no picture but I remember it was very good). This time I went with my mom and we both got the "Moon" drink.. a Chai/Matcha which was such a good drink, I want like a 40oz of it to take with me home for the week. I also ordered the pesto turkey sandwhich to share and I can not express how good this was. Perfectly crispy, juicy and fresh. Took the first bite and literally gasped because not only was the bread toasted to perfection but the veggies and turkey were so flavorful. The veggies and pesto and turkey were also layered in a way that made every bite delectable and that to me is art. Loved it, want more of it and I WILL be back to try more drinks and sandwhiches.

I ordered the following below: *Korean Prime Skirt Steak: 5/5 - I asked for my skirt steak medium rare and man was it cooked so well. Underneath was fried rice,bok choy, veggies and a nice creamy Korean sauce . The sauce really complimented the steak and fried rice really well. I was very pleased on how the steak was juicy and tender ! *Braised Short Rib: 2/5 - Don't get me wrong i love me some good braised short ribs, however, these were very disappointing. Most of the meat was covered by fat, the portion size was insanely small considering its an entree. Not much veggies or sides to compliment this meal very well, definitely need to redo this dish. *Pressed Yellowtail Sushi: 5/5 - Honestly the yellowtail was so fresh ! It had a hint of spiciness but also a hint of sweetness. The sushi was very fresh and almost tasted like a ceviche mix. *Parmesan Truffle Fries: 3/5 - Your average truffle fries. Nothing fancy about them. I really wish they were crispier. The ambiance was very nice and welcoming. You are introduced to basically nice oak wood tables everywhere. The booth we sat in was pretty comfy. The service was exceptional. It is nice to know you are getting some quality dishes, others need some refinement.
