Yucca Tree Cafe — Restaurant in White Rock

I happened upon this quaint cafe in White Rock by chance; was looking for another place but I was really drawn to the Yucca Tree Cafe. You could smell the home cooking from outside and when you looked in, it was pretty full with patrons. "Regulars", I'd imagine... I've been to so many places that I can usually pick them out. So I quickly looked up their menu on my smartphone and was super pleased at what I read. I decided to give their breakfast a shot. And I am so glad I did! Oh my gosh, their Breakfast Croissant (Vegetarian) was so fresh and mouth-watering, I do believe I am now addicted! I thought I'd be taking a doggie bag home with the freshest of croissants piled high with scrambled eggs, loads of shredded cheddar cheese, and tomatoes, not to mention their homemade pan fries seasoned in a way that I hadn't tasted before. But I couldn't stop eating this delish breakfast - it made my tummy very happy. I also took a side order of pan fries with shredded cheese and green onions to go, so that I could have that later. You have to give the Yucca Tree Cafe a try! I would find it hard to believe if you were disappointed. Great customer service, too. For the vegetarians out there (like me), many choices are on their menu. They will also customize any order for your taste or dietary restrictions (for myself, I asked for egg whites only which was no issue at all). As for CONS, there is nothing negative I would say for my first visit, except that their salt shakers needed a good "banging" due to the salt crystals binding together after our latest heatwave. I've attached a photo of my Breakfast Croissant. Sorry! I had to take a couple of bites before snapping the photo....

Attended here about a month ago for breakfast. The place was busy but we were seated quickly. We ordered the vegetarian burger and the vegetarian chili which were both specified as vegan on the menu. We mentioned to the waitress that we were both vegan and asked for no cheese on the burger. We had to wait approximately 30 minutes for orange juice and water to be served and another 30 minutes for our food. When our food arrived there was mayonnaise on the bun for the burger and there was butter on the toast for the chili. When we requested these items be exchanged the waitress proceeded to scold us as we did not request for these items to be removed from our original order even though the butter and mayonnaise were not mentioned on the menu. Our issue here is that they said they were vegan friendly however it appears as though they do not know what this means. The food tasted okay, we both liked the burger more than the chili.

During our meal their debit and credit card machines went down which they didn't inform us about until we had to leave and then we had to send one of our party rushing out to find an ATM so that we could get going. It would have been nice to be informed about something like this as soon as out happened so that we could plan...

We’ve recently moved to this side of town and stopped in this morning for warm breakfast on a snowy day. I had the small order of banana French toast which was amazing and very filling. The bacon was perfectly cooked; I usually don’t order restaurant bacon because it’s too dry, crunchy and thin but this was crisp but not overdone and a thicker cut. I added a scrambled egg and it was nice and fluffy. My 5 year old had the small sized classic waffle and it was a great serving for her (she has a big appetite) It’s a cozy little nook with mostly regulars (I can see why) and pleasant jazz playing in the background. Friendly service, fresh food and cozy atmosphere and reasonable prices; a small business I’m...
