Enjoyed my hot vanilla latte in a coffee mug which are all different designs. I had the barekas. The babka roll was not very fresh so that was my only negative. I'll definitely go back.

You will find that amazing vibe in this area and Lightwave Coffee exemplifies a movement that was so much about optimism and love. Interior and exterior are amazing with much of the decoration being made from found objects. I loved all the old electronic and mechanical devices inside and loved the mishmash cups and plates that made it feel like you were eating in a friends kitchen. The food and coffee we got were abnormally high quality and we recommend the cookies and the basil ice lemonade. So good after a long day outdoors. Right next to it is a community farm that felt so welcoming and chill. Volunteers were weeding and cleaning on the weekend and it reminded me the very best of the game Stardew Valley. Right next to it is a concrete skatepark and a guy was shredding it when we went. So worth a stop for all these bonus quests! They also had a "pay what you want" little section of potted plants you can take away such as chilis, tomatoes, etc...

Mouthwatering, Savory, healthy. I'm not a great fan of arugula but this Avocado Toast perfected it greatly! Their price points are spot on! They also have a cute small gift shop. Sequoia was super polite, friendly, very sweet, kind, caring, super genuine, very down to earth. Sequoia has very positive upbeat energy about herself that truly radiates!

Ordering was easy. You get a pager to let you know when your order is ready. The cashier was really friendly and helped to get our order right. The decor is cool, farmhouse type look.

We had the bread pudding and the strawberry crisp. Both were worth coming back for. Also, we thoroughly enjoyed the live music by Jeremy Lipson. What a great guy - very personable, welcomed requests, and his voice and talent were beyond good. Needless to say, we had a wonderful evening and will definitely be going back there again and again. And no...we are not affiliated with this restaurant in any way. I am just stating an opinion!

Now let's get to the best part: the FOOD!! The fries are so crispy and delicious because they are fried in tallow instead of toxic soybean oil!

The coffee was very good, and it was clear many locals stop by for their morning cup. The biscuit was a bit doughy rather than flaky, so not quite to my taste, but the gravy helped make up for it.

I will say our breakfast was a bit pricey as our total came to $55 with tip.
