Inside is well decorated and inviting, with plenty of seating options. They offer food and drink items including hot foods like sandwiches and baked items like conchas. I ordered their Xulo Mojito and would have loved to get a cubano again, but their kitchen closes before the cafe. The food is really good, so try to go early to grab a bite. I ended up getting some conchas instead and took everything to go.

Our order included chilaquiles with extra avocado, avocado toast, two Mexican mochas, and pan de muerto. With tax and tip, we paid $64.32, so this was not a cheap breakfast. We paid at 11:21 a.m. My husband did not receive his chilaquiles until 12:07 p.m., and my avocado toast arrived at 12:10 p.m. (49 minutes later). While I was still waiting, the waiter said, "I'll be back with your waffles," even though I had ordered avocado toast with no egg. The chilaquiles and Mexican mochas were good. However, the avocado toast had absolutely no flavor, and the potatoes had no seasoning. I only ate them because I had paid for them. I understand that restaurants get busy, but at a minimum, staff should check in, acknowledge the delay, and reassure customers that they haven't been forgotten. Instead, we waited nearly 50 minutes with very little communication. The long wait, order confusion, lack of communication, and bland food made the overall experience disappointing, especially at this price. If you decide to go to Xulo, hold off on tip until after you receive your food and see how the service actually is on that day. Don't make the same mistake I made. For excellent chilaquiles and service, just go to Blue Agave!

The food is always phenomenal, the ambiance is always perfect (which is tough for smaller restaurants like this - they NAILED it), and the service is always impeccable. Thanks for the good memories, Boulevard Bistro - see you soon!

The staff is super attentive and ready to fill your cups or take away any finished dishes. Tonight I had the plum salad. Sounded a little on the wild side but it was amazing! So sweet and refreshing I ate every bit of it! Loved it! For my entree I picked the braised short ribs .. it was so tender! I was put off by the blue cheese mash beneath it a bit but it's ok because the short rib was so delicious. For dessert I had the berry crumb cobbler. The cobbler came with a dollop of vanilla ice cream on top. It was great! The berries were sweet and the crumb top was so buttery. Everything flowed deliciously. My husband had the filet mignon.. he said it was made medium rare just as he asked. And of course the crème brûlée is the reason why he keeps coming back lol My go to for fine dining in Elk Grove! Love the intimate scenery with great food!

We needed some dinner quick and I checked the GPS and this Black Bear Diner came up nearby. I've had pretty good luck with Back Bear in the past, so I decide to come here. The inside looks similar to all the other Black Bears, you'd expect that with a big chain like this. The server was over ight away and took my order. I've seen the fish and chips on the menu before, but never had it , till now! It arrives with 3 pretty decent sized fried fish pieces. It's some white fish, not sure which one, pretty sure it's not halibut though. It's probably pollock I think. It came with a big pile of chips (fries in American!) It included coleslaw and a salad. The salad was decent and had good tomatoes. The house 1000 island dressing was good too. The coleslaw was a bit too wet for my taste, but it is what it is here, I'd get more fries instead of the coleslaw. Someone else on the crew got the steak and eggs and another got some slad with meat on ot, I forgot wha tit was called. Overall it was a good experience and I'd come back.

I liked the artichoke and spinach dip, and the rest of they appetizers were not bad, but were kinda dry. The chicken in the quesadillas were especially dry, and chicken strips were battered and fried well, but the chicken was also dry. The chicken wings are popular with our group, with both, very good flavor, and a little spicy kick, but they were hard to chew. The server was very efficient and nice, and checked on us frequently. My future visit to Mimi's will be for their great breakfasts, or for dinner, and maybe skip the appetizers next time.

After spending 8 hours on the Harley in 100-degree weather, we were hot, tired, and ready for a good meal--and this place absolutely delivered! I wish I had gotten our waitress's name because she was incredible. She was welcoming, attentive, and made us feel right at home. I had the braised beef over mashed potatoes, and it was absolutely delicious. I had to order a side of green beans because they're my favorite, and they did not disappoint! My meal also came with a side salad, and the house dressing was fantastic. We ordered dessert to go, and even though we haven't dug into it yet, it looks AMAZING! From the incredible service and delicious food to the welcoming atmosphere, everything was top-notch. Thank you for taking such great care of us and making us feel so welcome. It was the perfect ending to a very long, very HOT day on the bike! We will definitely be back!

I ordered the Hot honey chicken fried steak from the specials menu today and oh man it's good! Their chicken fried steak always has a nice thick coating without having too much flour.

I always enjoy coming here and can't wait to go back!

This neighborhood brunch location offers friendly service and seems like it could be a great place to meet with friends for breakfast. I had a smoked salmon eggs Benedict and it was delicious. My friend had the steak omelette, which I liked but had a hint of sweetness to it when I took one to go which I wasn't a fan of. The mimosas were good bang for your buck. Only thing is I'd skip on the flavors and get a bottle next time. Their flavors taste like they're from syrups and not fresh juice . Peach and passion flavored is a YES . But the mango and Pomegranate were hard to get down. Too syrupy and sweet . All in all I'd be here again!

Back in my hometown of Sacramento for a family visit and while in Elk Grove,I wanted to try Tule…read moreCoffeehouse. It is situated in the quaint old small downtown of Elk Grove, and it has a really cool vibe even on the outside. Once inside, I wanted to try one of their coffees and one of their breakfast sandwiches, which I had heard were terrific. I had a large hot latte which was very satisfying. Their roast is robust without being bitter or overpowering. Not the strongest cup of coffee I have ever had, but very good nonetheless. If you prefer more kicked, then I would have them add an extra shot. Off of their Panini menu, I tried a grilled cheese sandwich that I added bacon to. All of the ingredients on the inside of the Panini were terrific, but the star of the show is thick cut sourdough bread. When toasted up as part of being a grilled cheese, it is crunchy and flavorful. A tremendous sandwich. I look forward to returning to try something else on the menu. This is strictly a breakfast and lunch place. They close at 2 PM, however, it is worth making the drive and trying Tule. By the way, the team behind the counter was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. They all added to the experience.

I'm a big advocate on good matcha, and I love making my own as well as buying them. From the photos…read moreI've seen for Tule, it had a promising color to their matcha. That's the first thing I look at. Today I ordered: an iced oat matcha latte with light maple syrup. I get sweetener because if the matcha isn't good, then I'll be drinking sweet milk. Bacon breakfast sandwich and a chocolate banana bread. Location is in old Elk Grove, love the public parking next to the building. Small inside with seating and also has outdoor seating. It's a great place for people to meet up. Breakfast sandwich was good. Love the cheese pull. The banana bread was cold and stale. Only because they forgot about it (busy) and so they didn't warm it up and gave it to me as is. But it's ok. Matcha: Color: it was a good color. Not forest green but a nice green. Umami: none. It was ceremonial grade (as advertised) but a very weak matcha. Natural sweetness: none Balanced bitterness: towards the end of the drink, there's a hint of bitterness. Aftertaste: a hint of seaweed. Overall it's your everyday matcha. It was a good balance between matcha and oat milk. No flavor overpowering each other. And That's why I say it's a good everyday matcha. I'll always order a regular iced matcha latte because I prefer more matcha to dessert matcha .

We dined at Original Mike's Diner on a Thursday evening to take advantage of their senior night…read morespecial, where regular menu items (excluding steak and the senior menu) are 50% off from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM when you order a beverage. It's a great deal and made it easy to justify trying one of their signature comfort-food plates. Here's what I got: 4pc Broaster Chicken The Broaster chicken dinner was the standout and easily my favorite part of the dinner. The four-piece meal is regularly priced at $19.99 and comes with a choice of side, plus garlic toast or cornbread, along with a salad. The chicken arrived golden, crispy, and exactly how broasted chicken should be--moist inside with a crunchy exterior that tasted fresh, not greasy. I chose the mashed potatoes as my side and they were creamy with chunks of potato whipped within. They were topped with country gravy, turning these spuds into full-on comfort food. The cornbread was a large, satisfying portion; the whipped butter and honey on top rounded it out nicely and made it feel like a classic diner treat. Vegetable and Salad The vegetable side was the one miss on the plate. The zucchini, broccoli, squash and carrots seemed to be steamed and were noticeably overcooked and sitting in water, which made them soggy. The side salad, on the other hand, was solid. I opted for blue cheese dressing, which tasted like it was made in-house and added a lot of flavor. There were a few pieces of lettuce with brown edges that I just removed, but overall the salad was fresh enough and a nice way to start the meal. Service was friendly from the moment we walked in. We were greeted right away, offered a choice of a booth or table, and seated quickly, even though it was senior night and the discount window can draw a crowd. The interior looks and feels like a classic diner: red accents, country-style decor on the walls, a TV with the news playing, and a front counter where you pay as you leave. Near the entrance there's a pie case showing off their desserts--in particular, an apple pie that looked very tempting and is on my list to try next time. Overall, Original Mike's Diner delivers satisfying diner food, warm service, and a straightforward, old-school atmosphere, with the Broaster chicken and sides carrying the experience. The overcooked veggies keep it from being a perfect visit, but the generous senior discount and friendly staff make this an easy 4-star spot I'm happy to return to--especially on Thursday nights. Simply Wonderful!!

You can easily place your order on the touch screen, and they have it ready in no time! My go to order is always their matcha latte with oat milk and simple syrup, and it never disappoints.

Always super soft, moist, and full of flavor, just the way I like it. Definitely one of my favorite treats to pair with my matcha! Aside from the drinks and pastries, I really love the atmosphere here. The space is super spacious with high ceilings and a beautiful art wall that adds so much character to the place. It has such a nice, welcoming vibe whether you're stopping by for a quick drink or just want somewhere to sit and relax. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit even better. I've had nothing but good experiences here, and it's definitely a spot I keep coming back to. Highly recommend checking this place out if you haven't already!

It's noticeably smaller than their main Midtown location, but still comfortable. They offer a selection of snacks for purchase, including cookies (ube, pandan), muffins, burritos, and quiches. Quiches can be heated upon request. Popular drinks: "1987" (iced) and Vietnamese Hazelnut. I tried the 1987 drink. For my taste, it was a bit too creamy and on the sweeter side. Service: Quick and efficient. You can either use the self-serve station or order/pay directly at the counter.
