The bread is baked fresh everyday and the juice mixes are amazing. He did a juice I called the Tony special where he used a little bit of everything today. I had The Omelette which I guess was Greek style that was so much food and so amazing that I'm going to have to skip lunch today. He gave me a piece of cheesecake to top it off too. They are open 7 days a week. He told me today he has worked 3,024 days in a row. The James Brown of restaurant owners and workers. Their baguettes are their speciality.

We went here for a late breakfast. We started with fresh orange juice which was delicious. The kid had mayan lemonade and loved it. The wife had fresh fruit with yogurt and granola and loved the freshness of the fruit. The kid had sweet crepes and did not eat them all but that is normal. I had the "house special" which is chicken sandwich. Oh my, it was probably the best chicken sandwich in my life. The chicken was not only tender but marinated so it was flavorful. It had cilantro, avocado, tomatoes, and cucumbers. Plus chipotle mayo. Everything tasted so fresh, bursting with flavor. It was phenomenal. Service was friendly. Prices are not just reasonable but downright cheap. If we lived here, we would eat here all the time. It is an outstanding restaurant and shows what you can find when you venture off the beaten track.

Ouch what a letdown! Was referred here by a friend and, well, ended up yelling at my friend after…read morethis horrible meal. Wait staff was absolutely clueless at basic server etiquette and the 1-2-3s of waiting tables. The stereo was blasting some really annoying music so loud that I had a headache a few minutes in. The burgers are obviously frozen patties from Sam's Club that are probably cooked on a George Forman grill. The fries are decent but I don't understand why they can't master the burger part first. The entire restaurant staff seemed to think this was a party, as they socialized on the sidewalk while I was eating my "meal". Terrible quality, terrible service, terrible experience, and not a restaurant per se, but a social club for awkward foreigners who don't want to own a restaurant! On the "watch out for food poisoning" list without a doubt!!!

Playa del Carmen, Mexico Subway…read more I've been in Mexico for two months and wanted something other then Mexican food. This subways was like any other Subway. It was clean and the sandwiches were made as ordered. The only thing I would point out was they did not offer flat bread or mozzarella cheese as most shops do. It seemed a little tacky to charge to use their bathroom however this shop was located on a main street that provided public access to the beach so I imagine many people who are not customers are entering the shop to use the bathroom. The sandwich was fine and the service was friendly.

The restaurant is clean and very modern. The ceiling is cute! They have egg cartons as their ceiling! I was surprised that I couldn't just got hot black coffee, so I ordered a latte, wasn't disappointed! They even designed a heart at the top! We shared an almond croissant and they gave out passionfruit yogurt with a crunchy topping - these two things were my favorite of the meal. We are even talking about going back tomorrow just to get these two things! We also shared the Luca sandwich - this was delicious!! The sandwich has ham, cream cheese, mushrooms, and truffle oil, and topped with an egg. So delicious! There was a salad on the side that had some type of vinaigrette on it. The only complaint was that the vinaigrette was soaked up in the bottom piece of bread which made those bites a little busy when all in one bite. If I ever get a chance to order this again, I'd ask for the dressing on the side. We also got the chicken and waffles. This is the only thing we were disappointed with, not disappointed enough to mark the rest of the experience down though. The chicken was pretty good, but some bites were really salty. The waffle was so dry, even with adding the syrup, it didn't help with the waffle much. Overall, we loved this place! So glad we got to eat here! And the service was wonderful throughout the whole meal!

Trendy food spot near Playa Car that's worth a visit…read more Stopped by this place after seeing how good the food looked coming out of the kitchen--beautifully plated, fresh, and clearly made with care. The vibe is casual yet modern, with a trendy beach-town feel that fits the Playa Car scene perfectly. I ordered the croquette sandwich with an egg, and it absolutely delivered. The croquette was crispy on the outside, soft and savory inside, and the egg added a nice richness. What really elevated the whole dish, though, was the aioli--creamy, tangy, and packed with flavor. It tied everything together beautifully. Honestly, they should bottle that stuff. A nice surprise was the complimentary yogurt with grains that came out before the meal. It was a thoughtful touch--light, subtly sweet, and a great palate teaser before the main dish arrived. It gave the whole experience a more refined feel without being pretentious. Service-wise, it was minimal but efficient. The waitress was polite but a bit dry--no real recommendations or extra engagement--but everything arrived promptly and correctly, so no complaints there. All in all, it's a spot I'd happily return to. The food is excellent, the vibe is chill, and little touches like the complimentary yogurt show they're paying attention. Definitely a solid find near Playa Car.
