After contemplating for a while between 3 or 4 stars for my review, this was the rating that I decided on. I don't have regrets, nor do I feel bad. We need to be honest on Yelp right?
Walked in this morning at exactly 9:15AM, and got a very pleasant, nice welcome from Izabella. She was as sweet as cherry pie. Had a very nice personality, smile, and approach.
Cons are more than pros. With that being said, took a look at their display case where they SHOULD HAVE HAD plenty of baked goods, and had none. EMPTY!! I said "do you guys have more in the back"? She said we ran out. I looked at her straight in the eye and said. "Ran out"? "it's only 9:15AM"? She apologized and we moved forward with my order. Extensive menu options from A to Z!!
Food was mediocre and lukewarm. Got their Spinach scrambled somewhat called omelette, with: onions, tomatoes, and bell pepper. Asked for mushrooms, she said they don't have mushrooms. Side of Sourdough. (2 small slices) nicely toasted. With ketchup. Who eats bread with ketchup? Asked for jelly and she brought it right away.
Wherever I have ordered an omelette, they always had mushrooms. I subbed their potato for a cup of fruit. Nicely sliced Bananas, Blueberries and Strawberries. The fruit was touching the omelette. It shouldn't be that way. It should be in a bowl or in a cup. Fruit was very fresh..
I had asked for Mozzarella cheese, they didn't have that either, so w/out telling me she put Parmesan cheese (one that I can't stand), was not even melted.
Then she said let me take the plate and give you another cheese. I said "what other cheese do you have"? She said we have Jack cheese. Brought my plate back with American cheese.
I also ordered a Vegan Breakfast Burrito with: tofu, vegan cheese, potatoes, pico de gallo, guacamole, and black beans (side of Chipotle sauce). Vegan Burrito was wrapped nicely in a flour tortilla and cut in half. Didn't taste good at all. I even told her.
Not to mention that my food arrived 30 minutes late, a dirty table in the back for the last 20 minutes and she was running the show all by herself.
A lot of to-go and 3rd party orders. Asked for Tabasco sauce, got to my table right away with the cap loose. Thank God I caught on to it before opening. Imagine if that spilled on me?? Just imagine. No need to say more. They also sell açaí bowls along with desserts.
Restaurant is quaint, clean, and has about 10 tables and chairs.
Gender neutral restroom with ample parking shared with multiple businesses. Fine 80's music playing overhead.
This is a family owned business, and has another location in Van Nuys.
May the Mexican restaurant (RIP) before this one arrived. They were great for their Tortas and so many of their authentic Mexican dishes.
Do you think I will return.......? read more
