We knew this little spot was jammed on Saturdays (closed on Sundays) so we went during the week…read more There is seating on a little front deck, as well as inside. We had breakfast: I had the croissant special (tomato jam, bacon, cheese -- the tomato jam really made the sammich, and the croissant was moist not crumbly) and spouse had the French toast stack (piled up brioche with eggs and choice of breakfast protein, he had sausage patties). We had lattes: mine with honey and cinnamon (cafe con miel), his was vanilla, both hot and quite sweet. The food was excellent! The popular fuss is legit, and the counter service was courteous. We ate at a two-top along the counter but might have enjoyed being outside more, especially as they got busier.

But I'll definitely order it again and make sure it comes with tomatoes. So I'll be able to give a review on that. The soup was so hot and delicious. Very cheesy. Saw they have the clam chowder. I really want to try that. The service was good, and the ambiance was quiet and relaxing.

Small cafe outside Hot Springs. We were looking for a place off the strip, away from the hustle…read more Definitely worth the 20-30min drive from the strip, especially if you like a slower pace. Veggies for both or omelet and hash brown bowl were cooked on the grill to add some char, for a little extra flavor. Although their bread is not homemade, if you didn't ask, you wouldn't know. Quality addition for the customer. They have fresh baked goods available in the restaurant. They also have baked good options in the store. The blueberry sweet rolls are worth it.

Cafe 1217 - A Fresh Break from the Road Trip Diet…read more What a relief to stumble into Cafe 1217 after days of heading southwest on a steady rotation of BBQ, grits, and beans. Delicious, yes... but the body eventually starts asking for a vegetable and a reset. The space itself matches that feeling. Simply decorated, with bright murals, clean lines, and a cheerful, easygoing vibe that feels light the moment you walk in. My husband gave me full ordering authority, which is always a bold move. I went straight into tapas mode because everything on the menu looked too good to choose just one. We ended up with a spread: chicken pot pie (which quickly abandoned any "small plate" intentions), field greens and baby spinach, a shrimp and crawfish cake, and one of each of Rosy's authentic hand-rolled tamales. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying without that heavy, road-trip food fatigue. The mint lemonade was refreshing and delicious, a little on the sweet side, but it worked. Service, while perfectly fine, could benefit from a warmer welcome and a bit more guidance, especially for first-timers trying to navigate such an inviting menu. A little extra friendliness up front would go a long way here. Our only real regret? Not saving room for dessert. They looked very tempting, and we'll be thinking about that missed opportunity. If you're on the road and craving something lighter without sacrificing flavor, this spot is a welcome pause.

Wontons, why yes please! Who doesn't love a good wonton. When I seen Duck Wontons on the menu I was…read moreintrigued.
