    Churro French Toast with Bacon and Sausages and Chila-killer French Toast with Chamomile Tea.
    Kitty L.

    My friend and I had the Chilaquiles with tomatillo salsa and Avocado Toast, and both were amazingly delicious and so fresh! Also, They were delightfully and beautifully presented! The Chilaquiles was so yummy and it is one of my favorite dishes! Our server was so warm and personable, and she shared her personal insights on the entrees and sides! It was my friend's first visit and my second, and we'll be back for sure!

    Second time was a charm! Got the chilaquiles with verde, and it was scrumptious! My mate got fish tacos and was blown away! Mexican hot chocolate was heavenly! We watched as the kind hostess placed a lady, her blind companion and his seeing eye dog in a perfect spot so all three were comfortable. The staff makes this place the best!

    Food is amazing, I have visited this place on multiple occasions and have been delighted every time. The chilaquiles are a must "green salsa" those are my favorite For coffee you should try the Cafe de hoya... their other coffees are also really good but the Cafe de Hoya is another world. Service is excellent and I love that they always are so cheerful Ambiance is casual but dressy I give this place a 5 star rating on all counts.

    SEP2025 Cute spot. I was surprised as we hadn't ventured here yet though we're always in this area. We decided to stop in for brunch. Service checked in frequently and refilled water also. They answered any questions we had. It was also quite busy so it was nice how much they stopped by. My partner ordered the fish sandwich, and I got a latte and the chilaquiles with chicken added. Everything was cooked really well. Partner liked how fresh the fish tasted and the light crunch. The chilaquiles was simple and rich. The chicken flavorful and not dry in the least. The red sauce really pulled everything together. The tortilla underneath soaked up a lot and made for a great medium. I think the only thing I'd want is a bit more crunch somewhere. We'll definitely have to stop by again. This was a nice discovery for the brunch scene in the area.

    Food and drinks were phenomenal! We ordered: chilaquiles with steak and the borracho sauce, churro French toast, BEST breakfast sandwich, churro lattes, orange juice and guava juice. Restaurant was very clean and our waitress was super nice! Definitely worth recommending! Will be back if we are in the area!

    I'll start with all the positives of my experience with Chila killer: Pros: Great service and really friendly and attentive. Busy but moves fast. Food portions are hearty and tasty. Coffee is strong but really tasty! An extra pro for the cute lil bolillos. Con: The prices are crazzzzyy in my opinion. They nickel and dimed for everything. Steak on your chilaquiles extra $7. I asked for asada and was expecting the actual flat steak not this but it's fine. Almond milk, another charge. Flavoring for coffee, another charge. I literally looked at the receipt and was like geeez I'm surprised they didn't charge me for the water. In summary, is chila killer worth it? I'd say sure if I'm in the area and want Mexican food but come prepared to pay a pretty penny. I get inflation is crazy but I still think prices were insane for no reason.

    Met one of my sisters here for brunch, hadn't seen her in a while. I believe it was both of our first time there. I was conflicted on what to drink because they had so many amazing drinks both non-alcoholic and alcoholic. Our waitress was awesome! She was like a whole vibe, very on top of it, very friendly, very funny. I should've got her name for this review. You know when you're out having a girls brunch and your waitresses is awesome too it just makes the whole event perfect . The food was delicious the drinks were fabulous! Nothing fancy about the restaurant very basic but has big nice widows and I love to people watch! I definitely will be back here.

    Mexican mocha, delish

    We came on a Sunday morning and we're seated right away. Service was fantastic! Food was incredible. I had the chilaquiles and it is a delicious signature dish. My Mexican mocha was heaven. Can't wait to go back!

    Breakfast enchiladas

    My wife and I love Chila-Killer Cafe. The service is always friendly and fast even when busy. The ambience is warm and clean with lots of plants around the restaurant. It has a rustic feel with its decor. The food here is very special. I don't know of any other place where you can choose from so many options for your chilaquiles. Typically, it's just red or green salsa, but here they have four options with different levels of heat. I've tried them all, but my personal favorite is the Borracha which has roasted tomato, jalapeño and beer! It's so delicious with a little heat but not much. There are so many flavors on the plate, plus I highly recommend getting the smoked pork chop. My wife had the breakfast enchiladas, which came with a beautiful salad. The sauce in the enchiladas was smoky, a little sweet and spicy. Finally, we shared the Killer Waffle, which has lots going on. I recommend asking for some whipped cream with it!

    Fish tacos
    Erin S.

    Only come here if you like delicious food, excellent customer service and enjoy ordering from an expansive menu with exciting choices of mouth watering yumminess. One of my favorite restaurants, I wish I lived closer so I could come more often. They have flavored lemonade! They have French toast made out of CHURROS! There is too much to even go over, just come here.

    Delicious brunch with a low key vibe. Service was prompt and personable. Pretty full for a Thursday morning. We had the chilaquiles and the huevos rancheros with fried egg like i like it. Good portion sizes. Drinks (mango tajin mimosa and white wine). Will return to try more options!

    The best chilaquiles in town!! I ordered them with salsa verde and steak and it was amazing. My partner got the breakfast burger and also enjoyed it. We will be definitely coming back

    Roasted tomato, spinach, and avocado Benedict. Delicious!
    Coree C.

    Third time is definitely a charm once again outstanding. Delicious food and great service. The coffee was yummy, caramel lattes. Service was great. It was a little chilly inside though. Otherwise perfect.

I don't say that lightly. I'll start with Arabic light roast coffee that was a golden color and infused with cardamom. It was exactly what I was looking for that day. It tasted great, and it gave me to pick me up. I needed for the rest of the afternoon. I have never seen coffee that color. It was delightful. As for the fatayer, it is basically the Yemeni version of an empanada. I am very much a savory breakfast person, so this was a special treat. The spices were amazing, and it was cooked to perfection. This is one of the items you can see in the display case that they warm up for you on the spot. There were also many desserts and other food options. I should also note that I ordered on a large tablet display, which included several different drink, and food options. Honestly, the menu was a little bit overwhelming given the number of choices, but it also makes me think that there is so much more that I need to try next time. I needed to get some work done, so I sa myself down on the very comfortable couch, which conveniently contained a Wi-Fi password stuck to the edge of the adjacent table. It was very chill, and if I didn't have an appointment to get you I certainly could've stayed there all day. I am excited to try some other things on the menu and continue to support this local business.

They have specialty shelf stable chocolate and snacks and a display full of beautiful desserts! ** pistachio cream puff (4.5/5): unlike the more traditional choux shell, this one was laminated like croissant dough-- fun! The cream was also thick enough to not leak everywhere and didn't taste artificial. Really enjoy this one! ** strawberry and cream chiffon cake slice (3.5/5): didn't really feel like a chiffon cake or maybe it was on the drier side. It worked well with the mascarpone frosting though, which was smooth and a little too rich for me by itself. There wasn't too much strawberry besides the sweet jam layer in the middle. ** Brutta mi buoni (4/5): translated to "ugly but delicious," this craggly meringue actually caught my eye and curiosity for its looks. I'm usually not a fan of meringues, but this one was loaded with nuts and was tasty. Kind of tastes like a refined version of those Lucky Charms cereal marshallows in a good way! Happy with my little haul at Stellina Pronto! They were friendly and had a few window seats + outdoor seating. I'll probably stop by next time I'm in the area to try some new items. Definitely check them out if you're nearby!

I saw this cafe pop-up in several IG posts, so I knew I had to check it out. It doesn't have a Michelin star, but is run by a Michelin team --- so to me, tomato, toMAHto. I got 3 items, all exquisite: 1. Honeycomb Iced Latte - This drink is exactly what you would expect; a proper iced latte topped with a substantial amount of sugary honeycomb. A few swirls later, and my entire drink was sweetened just right. There's nothing like the taste of sugary honeycomb. 2. Everything Knot - This was my highlight of the visit. I am from NJ, so I'm a bit of a Bagel snob, and yet, connoisseur. The way this Knot was layered and crafted made all right in the world. It was topped with fried scallions, and stuffed with green onion cream cheese. The worked said it must've been meant for me...it was the last one of the day! 3) Pain au Chocolat - Visually stunning. The layers around the pastry make it crackly and so decadent. The downside? The actual chocolate! It was a skinny line of chocolate in my pastry, barely non-existent. Loved the pastry, the "au chocolat" part? Needs work. All in all, I was extremely pleased by Under-Study! I love trying "novel items", and I heard they have a Lobster Corn Dog??

Clean, curated interior, great energy, and the kind of pastry case that immediately makes you abandon any sense of restraint. Come hungry because the menu rewards excess. Some items stood out more than others, but honestly, everything ranged from good to excellent. The coffee was dialed in, the pastries felt intentional instead of trendy, and the whole experience had that rare combination of polish without pretension. Absolutely worth returning for Parking? Lot We had: Coffee (5/5): exactly what good cafe coffee should be. Balanced, flavorful, and structured enough to stand up to the sweeter pastries without getting lost. Smooth profile, clean finish, no bitterness Bacon Sampler (Benton's, Nueske's, Hill's, Candied) (5/5): sounds gimmicky until it hits the table. Then you realize someone actually thought this through. Each bacon had its own personality, but the candied bacon was the standout. Perfect balance of smoke, salt, fat, and sweetness Smoked Trout Rillettes (5/5): this was excellent. The smoked trout had real depth without becoming overpowering, and the creme fraiche completely changed the game by adding a cool, tangy richness that balanced everything out. Spread onto the bread, it created those perfect bites where texture and flavor all lock together at once Calistoga Crunch (5/5): absolute chaos visually, somehow beautiful anyway. It looked like something your toddler proudly makes during Christmas and you hang on the tree because you weirdly love it. But flavorwise, this thing was seriously dialed in! Sweet, crunchy, salty, textured, layered. Every component worked. One of the better cookies I've had in a long time Strawberry Tea Cake (5/5): dense in the way a good tea cake should be, but still light enough to avoid feeling heavy. The strawberry flavor came through naturally without turning artificial or overly sweet. Simple yet elegant, and incredibly easy to keep eating Pain au Chocolat (4/5): still good, but the weakest of the group. The pastry leaned a little brittle and slightly dry, lacking some of that buttery pull and softness you want from a great pain au chocolat. The chocolate itself was solid, and it was still enjoyable overall, just not something I'd specifically come back for
