I had been in the neighborhood for several days, but never went out early enough to have brunch This was gonna be my first one in Hawthorn, and I see to first have a look online to see what my options were Cafe Gomez looked like it may be the best to me, from the pictures I would see, the reviews, and the point Mai would make to answer them, always in a personalized way And I can now say I am so glad I came I first met the staff, which was well friendly already And when I got to talk to Mai, whom was greeting many guests by their first name, I was convinced I was at the right place Greeting them by their first names meant that they were returning guests, hence happy customers, and that she cared about them, to have asked them for their names at some point, and remember them Then the place by itself, it has lots of seats inside, some even having meetings there.
