Absolutely fantastic experience. I arrived shortly before they were open. After I went inside I was promptly seated and fresh coffee within a few minutes. After a quick look through the menu I settled on the seasonal Barbaco Quesadilla Benedict. It was perfectly done, huge amount of flavor and everything was cooked just right. Very clean environment! Great service and staff! Highly recommend

This place is a far drive but it is really worth it! You’ll get fresh coffee and I ordered an orange juice which tasted very fresh. My vegetarian tacos were incredible and really imitate the Chorizo taste they are trying to replicate. The pancakes are huge! I didn’t expect their size and ordered 2 blueberries. I still recommend them as they are soft and fluffy. I think their omelet could have had a little more meat but it was really well cooked. The nice helping of potatoes were also delicious and crispy

The weekends get busy, especially for brunch on Sunday. There may be up to an hour wait. However; the best time to go on the weekdays is between breakfast & lunch. (Around 10:15-10:30) We got front row parking, got seated & waited on right away. The weekday crowd started coming in for lunch around 11:30-11:40. It got busy quickly at that time. I recommend getting the purple haze drink – super delicious! I got both the French toast & the Avacado toast with a substitute of bacon instead of the eggs.

First off this isn’t my usual sort of place to eat. My wife enjoys this place so I tagged along. I’m usually a mom and pop, traditional breakfast kinda guy.

BREAKFAST is important meal of the day. I sifted through many locations and came upon this restaurant. Located at a storefront location, this place looks inviting. Upon entering, this place is so busy, each table was occupied and seats had butts on them. I was greeted by 3 employees at the door. No wait at all. The waitress was patient and very nice with me as I was familiarizing myself with the menu. Orange juice is sweet and fresh. Food arrived in 10 minutes. The pancake is fluffy and much breaded, but I am NOT A FAN of SMUCKERS Pancake Syrup and would recommend finding a better alternative syrup. I had the traditional breakfast and the Chile Chorizo. BOTH items are good starter choices and wished I was starving like hell, so I try many more choices. I never had chicken sausage patties before. This tasted surprisingly awesome. It was so good that I included a close-up video of the chicken patty. The menu items are unique but I think pictures could help with the items. My only PROBLEM with this establishment is the spacing between tables. There were 3 patrons sitting next to me, they were loud and being too open to let everyone know their personal business. Like too personal and annoying!!! I felt bad for the one guy listening to that loudest guy and not getting one word in edgewise. It’s a little pricey but worth a try. I could see myself returning again.

Brunch food was delicious! A little expensive but worth it for the quality of food. Also, I highly recommend the coffee, both iced and regular was great. Next time I go I will be trying the seasonal juice, it sounded really fresh and fun.

I ordered soup with my sandwich and was very impressed that it came out piping hot, not room temperature like most restaurants are doing lately. The food was very good and filling. Will most likely be returning with friends in tow!

My wife and I decided to try a new place to eat. Both orders we ordered we not served the way we ordered it. It wasn’t that busy (but don’t know if they had a lot of call in orders). The server noticed my order was wrong and offered to correct it. I told him I would just pick out what I didn’t want. He never noticed my wife’s wasn’t right. She ordered greens and she got potatoes. Her eggs were cooked but most of the whites were still clear.We waited a long time for our food and didn’t feel like a longer wait. I doubt we’ll be back.
