The breakfast food is outstanding. Eggs and pancakes were exceptional. The only problem is the service. There were not enough wait staff to accommodate the people in the restaurant. It took 15-20 minutes to put our order in.

Food was very delicious! Chow Eggs Benedict was the highlight. However, the pumpkin cold brew was depressing. The ratio of cold brew to cream foam in a small glass was not great. The pumpkin cold brew did not taste like pumpkin either. It was mainly vanilla flavor. So skip on the cold brew.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch alfresco. The cute little patio offered sun or shade seating making the space welcoming. Food was outstanding and OMG get the onion rings. Service was on top of things and super friendly. This place goes into rotation now 👍🏻👍🏻

Cute restaurant. Food was delicious. Got the breakfast tostadas as a picky eater and left no crumbs. Tables are a bit too close together but food is definitely worth a visit and prices are very reasonable.
