Very good breakfast. Pancakes were pretty solid and fluffy. We also ordered smoothie which was pretty good! Probably a good go-to breakfast place. The parking maybe pretty tight as this place is popular almost all the time. The service was a bit slow, but I also went on President’s day so there probably was more people than expected.

Funky, relaxed vibe. The pulled pork soft tacos were AMAZING!!!! Portions were enormous, lots to take home. My friend had a breakfast….it had to be brought out on two plates! Love!!!!!

I’ve been here twice and I’ve ordered the same thing each time; the Rincon breakfast burrito is so so yummy. I love the outdoor seating area and brought my dog. My server provided a bowl of water for my pup, too, which was great. The service is wonderful and very unobtrusive. The check arrived both times without me having to ask and I didn’t feel rushed.

We were passing through Burlington and this place caught our eye for breakfast. Fun decor/atmosphere and a fun venue in an old gas station. The breakfast tacos (+ chorizo) were an A+. The burrito with the fries added was ok – the potatoes sort of sucked the moisture out of the burrito. The blue berry pancake lacked any sweetness or punch (could use a tad more sugar or lemon zest maybe? or perhaps the point was to pour half the syrup bottle onto them, which we did). The regular drip coffee was rich and strong. We’ll definitely give it another shot – and hopefully for lunch or dinner next time!

If you have a savory sophisticated palate then the food here is for you. Their food is thoughtfully put together. Not your typical sugary breakfast items, done w a chefs touch who loves to take spices and blend them together to create delectables. For you, especially if you like to eat outdoors.

Fun surfer style spot in a repurposed old gas station. I remember when this place first opened, the food was just ok as was the service. Since then however, they have made tremendous improvements and the food and service are now great! Portions are large and quality is high while the price is reasonable. The staff is friendly and the restaurant has a nice Cali style vibe and surfer style decor. Sitting outside in the warmer months is a great option here and you can sit outside with your dog. Only reason it gets 4/5 from me is because the coffee is just ok. Great spot though, highly recommend!

Usually good service. Today rude, especially host, seated others before us. Waited 40 minutes, no follow up or check in or customary “sorry about the wait.” Very slow service, as in table sitting open for 10 minutes while we were next in line and staff walking around as if they were somehow in slow motion, like in a movie. Waitress totally defensive when I gave gentle, constructive feedback about our experience. Her service had been good until that point. Staff glared at us as we left. Food was great, but won’t be back. I never expect staff to fawn over me and am a patient person, but this was unpleasant.

Great food, the omelet or Morning Surfari was tasty and the added fruit cup is awesome with a variety of fruit including kiwi, mango, orange blueberries and pineapple – not your tun of the mill days old fruit cup other restaurants offer.

I’ve heard mixed reviews, but after trying a couple of Sunday brunches here myself, I’ve enjoyed it so far! The waitstaff are friendly and the food is good. If it’s a nice summer day try the “spot on the dock” instead, it’s right on the lake 🙂 unfortunately not dog friendly, which is annoying given how dog friendly this city is.
