    Every time I come here, the foods absolutely top tier
    Jaz R.

    Wonderful food everytime I come here!! Waitstaff is funny and very inviting! In other words stop by when you get the chance well worth the price!!

    Fish sandwich and patty melt

    Now called The Core Bistro. They have a full menu, appear to offer breakfast, have ice cream with a walk up window and patio, and a full bar. It's not very fancy but seems like they want to be. The only reason I knocked a star was the atmosphere was confusing- what is this place? A diner? An ice cream shop? A fancy bistro? A bar? Probably a minor complaint that will work out with time. The food was good. We got a fried fish sandwich and a patty melt. Super reasonable prices and good portions. I wish I remembered our server's name, he was awesome- super friendly and welcoming. I love supporting small businesses and not the big chains so I think we'll be back.

    Outdoor heaters which made the patio a very nice place to sit!

    Today was my first time here and this was a good solid breakfast with great service! Good value for the money. I had steak and eggs for breakfast and I would rate this steak is a little overcooked for medium rare but the crispy hashbrowns and flavor we're good. I will definitely come back!

    One of my favorite cafe in the area. Plenty of seating, parking shouldn't be a problem, well I only…read morecame here early in the morning Good coffee, good food and good service.

    I really wanted to LOVE this place. It is a locally owned breakfast spot owned by a Costa Rican…read morefamily which had me from the start. I was excited to try their breakfast dishes because I was looking forward to some Costa Rican style dishes and was excited to see what their flavors were all about especially in this small little town. I ordered the tico sunrise bowl with an extra egg and avocado. When I got the bowl it looked very appealing. When I cut into the egg unfortunately it was a little overcooked so the yolk wasn't as runny as I would have liked. The dish overall was pretty bland and packed some flavor. Even with the chipotle cream which I was excited about the flavor just wasn't there. It tasted a little more like sour cream than chipotle to me. I did add some salt and Pepper to the dish which helped a bit. We ordered some of there homemade salsas hoping it would help but those too tasted very bland and packed any salt or seasonings. Maybe I was just hoping for some food with flavor but that's not their style of cooking? I did order their cafe Miel latte which was very delicious. I very much enjoyed sitting in the cute little cafe and drinking my coffee. I still give it at least 4 stars because it did have a nice little vibe inside and the staff was friendly and service was quick.
