This is probably my first time I've ever left a review about a dealership cafe. You take your car into Ford, they'll typically give you a coupon for a free entree, some items there's a cost, and others like the breakfast burrito, it's complimentary. In all honesty, this is one of my favorite breakfast burritos of all time. The staff is well aware you're probably in a hurry so they get your meal out quick. Theres not much to say about ambiance, it's in a dealership. The rest of the menu is decent at best, unfortunately, so that's my only reason I dock it a star. But I'll keep coming for that "free" breakfast burrito! read more

While I was having my car serviced here at South Bay Ford, I grabbed a sandwich and coffee from Hank's Cafe, conveniently stationed inside the Ford dealership. Every time I eat here, it is always neat and clean. Karla served me a BLT with eggs and it was scrumptious. The coffee was just right. All I could do was smile because Karla did her part. If you have to start off your week getting your car fixed, go to Hanks and see Karla. She'll make your Monday a fun day. read more

Had the pleasure of stopping by on Friday. This café inside the Ford dealership is such a gem! Super convenient whether you're shopping for a car or just stopping by for a quick bite. The staff is always welcoming--Karla is especially friendly and makes you feel right at home. Management is great too, consistently kind and attentive. The chicken burrito is a must-try--flavorful, filling, and surprisingly delicious. A perfect spot to grab coffee or lunch while you wait or browse! read more
