There is seating indoors and outdoors. I had the thin mint iced latte which was good and not too sweet. There were lots of flavor options for lattes. They had a kids menu as well and lots of side options. There were lots of Korean-inspired dishes as well like Kim chi fried rice. There was an entire menu just for different breakfast burritos. The turon pancakes really tasted like the real caramelized turon. It had a nice sticky syrup on top that wasn't too sweet. The pancakes came super hot and were fluffy. The portion size was great. The cilantro sauce on the burrito was delicious. The pickled veggies added nice acidity that I appreciated. The bad: I don't know if there was any parking other than street parking. We parked right out front which was 1 hour parking and to the side is 20 minute parking. The interesting: You order and pay at the counter and the food gets brought out to you. I saw they had fresh cookies baked as well. Inside, there were festive balloons. I am not sure if it's always there or if they were from a special event. I've tried their catering company too and it was great! I really love how both the cafe and catering company use fresh flowers on their food to elevate their presentation.

    I've been visiting different locations of this breakfast spot, and this one stands out as having…read morethe best atmosphere in our neighborhood. At many brunch restaurants, you can sometimes sense when the basics -- like pancakes or French toast -- aren't given the attention they deserve. They may look appealing on the menu but feel rushed or underwhelming when served. Here, however, the fundamentals are done right. There's care in the texture, balance, and execution, and that consistency makes all the difference. Weekend mornings often find us slightly sleepy and very hungry, searching for somewhere comforting to begin the day. What we want is warmth and familiarity -- something that feels almost as cozy as staying in bed. And when the craving for sweet carbohydrates hits, we're not looking for restraint. We're looking for soft, fluffy, fully satisfying bites. If that's what you're after, this location delivers. You'll likely leave in a better mood than when you arrived.

I liked the toasted brown spots on the outside of the burrito. The tiramisu pancakes weren't soggy from the soaked coffee/espresso. It had chunks of torn lady fingers on top. The interior inside is bright and fun with lots of decor items like roosters and "eat good"-type signage. They had TVs inside too but they weren't playing anything on them. The service was prompt and we got seated immediately when we came on a Monday. The bad: The blueberry lavender matcha was $8 and was too sweet. I don't think there was outside seating options. The burrito could have used more pico de gallo. It was a good burrito but not outstanding or something I'd order again. The interesting: They sell lots of drink options and lemonades from a different vendor (?) inside. They even had a mangonada!

She was amazing. All 3 tables around us got their food before us. All 3 tables had to send back their food because it was either wrong or incorrect. Place looks well staffed but everyone seems miserable aside from the woman outside. Our food was also wrong. Out of 4 dishes 2 of them were wrong. If you order anything sweet, food or drink, expect heavy amounts of syrup. Not homemade syrups. Maybe hersheys or maybe wal mart brand. Not sure. Very synthetic. Hey at least the food looks great. The ambiance is great. The service is bad. The wait time is even worse. Waiting for a table is understandable. Waiting an hour for your food after being seated is not. Does not help when the server is rolling her eyes the whole time, and with an angry face the entire time. She was like that when we walked in so i know it wasnt us.

My boyfriend ordered the biscuits and gravy, and I decided on the strawberry French toast. The restaurant itself was not very full, and the service was just okay our server checked on us twice during the meal. Once our food arrived, I was really excited to try the French toast, but unfortunately it was a bit cold and not as good as I expected. My boyfriend said his biscuits and gravy were also a little too salty. The biggest surprise for me, though, was the price. For two breakfast meals, one cup of coffee, and a juice, our total came out to around $60. Personally, I felt that was overpriced for the quality of food we received. I understand that everything is more expensive these days, but I still do not remember breakfast being this costly.

It's a classic diner type restaurant that serves good quality food at a reasonable price. It took me a minute to select an omelette since there were so many options on the menu. But I ultimately settled on the avocado, bacon, and cheese omelette. It came with home fried potatoes. The omelette, on its own, was pretty good. It was hearty and filling. However, when paired with their slightly spicy salsa (which doesn't come with the dish, but you can ask for), it was fantastic. Seriously, ask for the salsa. You'll thank me later. Can't say much about the home fried potatoes. The potatoes were good, but nothing special. The same can be said about the service. I don't have anything good or bad to say about it. The server did everything you would expect from a server, nothing more, nothing less. One note about this establishment before I conclude this review. They prefer cash. If you pay with a card, they will charge you an extra $1.50.

There were no place settings or sugar on the table. The only thing that was on the table was a single unused place setting that had been left from the previous guest. It had an overturned fork and a knife. I had to ask for a spoon and sugar and then I waited another five minutes for them to arrive while my six dollar coffee was getting cold. When the spoon and sugar arrived, the spoon was stuck to the napkin on the handle end. At this point, I just wanted my caffeine and given that the sticky stuff on the spoon was at the bottom, I chose not to ask for a replacement. Fresh utensils never arrived, forcing me to use the leftover utensils across the table from the previous guest. In addition to the sugar not being provided on the table, there was no salt, pepper, or hot sauce brought out. One shouldn't have to ask for these things as they should already be on a well stocked table. I had the Benedict for breakfast. I wouldn't really call it a Benedict. The eggs were overcooked, and the yolks were dry. The bacon was so crispy and overdone that it was hard to break in half with a fork. The cilantro dressing was really good, but with the eggs being dry and the bacon being overcooked, the cilantro dressing and the English muffin were really the only things left to enjoy. My water glass was not refilled until I had been sitting in front of an empty plate for 20 minutes. No signs of the waitress to get a check. Having a table ready with place settings and condiments on it should be the bare minimum. Why it takes 15 minutes to get coffee I don't know. Don't offer eggs Benedict on a menu if you're gonna cook the eggs to within inch of their life. I'm sure the food's really good if it's cooked right. The service leaves a lot to be desired.

I just wish I had chosen a different dish than the Divorsados, not because they weren't good because they delicious but when our table got the French Toast dish with ice cream, I knew I should have gotten the waffle. LOL The staff is super sweet as well. They were very attentive. We sat outside which was very nice. The weather was perfect. I can't wait to go again.

The vibe has shifted toward a more minimalist coffee cafe aesthetic, and the menu has seen a significant overhaul. The Food & Value: I was disappointed to see the old favorites go. The Chicken & Waffles, previously a staple with three wings, has switched to dark meat only (thighs) with zero substitutions. As someone who isn't a fan of dark meat, that was a major letdown. I opted for the Lemon Pancakes ($21), and while the presentation was stunning, the taste was underwhelming and the portion size was surprisingly small--my son's kids' meal actually had more food than mine. The Silver Lining: The service is still the highlight here. Our server, Jorge, was absolutely fantastic--attentive, kind, and professional. The entire staff was very nice, but unfortunately, the price point doesn't quite match the current portion sizes or flavor profile. It's sad to say, but this will likely be our last visit but best wishes to them
