Even though there’s empty tables available, it can’t be put together to accommodate a certain party size. It has to be exact. So there’s a waitlist since it only seats about 20-25 inside and two tables outside. They won’t seat you until the entire party is physically present.
Customer service is a bit short and rude. The food is not that great. We wouldn’t go back.
-Chilaquiles- green sauce with steak -Chilaquiles- red sauce with chicken -Dickens Benedict - choice of chorizo or ham - I got chorizo, over muffins topped with salsa.
We came here because they are known for chilaquiles. I would say, stick to that menu item. The chips are house made and crispy. I can’t stand chilaquiles that have soggy chips. This place serves crispy chips.
The chicken was super dry white meat. The steak was so much tastier. You get two eggs any style on top.
There’s really no difference with the sauce. The green sauce was sour. The red sauce taste like, it’s the exact same green sauce with a few drops of red sriracha for a spicy kick.
The Benedict was soggy because it’s drenched in salsa vice hollandaise. So I’m not used to soggy muffins. I should have picked ham instead of chorizo because it had its own flavors that didn’t go right when combined. I had asked for no cotija and it came out with cotija so they had to make another dish. (Looking at reviews of this same item, I don’t see their plate drenched in salsa).
The nephew got the pancake combo which comes with two small pancakes (actually looked like regular size), 1 egg and bacon but we substituted it for sausage patty. We got chocolate chip vice plain pancakes.
I didn’t try this but the mother was feeding the child and only ate the sausage. The eggs and most of the pancake left behind. The mother usually finishes the kids meal but she didn’t. Which tells me the food isn’t that great.
The potatoes were wet like greasy. I should have asked for extra crispy. It’s as if it was cooked in the same oil as everything else. The kitchen is out in the open for everyone to see so you can see the chef making your food. It’s like a one man show doing everything. So probably...
Read moreAn absolute hidden gem. Everything was fantastic. This tiny little Cafe is completely hidden in plain sight. Don't Make my mistake and pass it for about 5 years without ever looking at it. At a quick glance they have a relatively simplistic menu, but everything on it is incredibly enticing and a lot more complicated than what you See you in just a quick look. From the dishes with creative names based off of famous authors, to their healthier options and even the kids menu. You kind of just don't know what to get because it all looks so good. On our first trip to this place My daughter got the Bukowski combo, which seems simple enough being just eggs bacon and potatoes. However she absolutely loved the way they prepare the potatoes, The crunchy bacon and the selection of wheat toast. I got the Hemingway brunch sandwich with ham, and a side of potatoes. It's scrambled eggs with cheese ham and what I tasted was mustard but The description says house sauce. Whatever it was it was delicious. It all came together so well on sourdough bread. I also thoroughly enjoyed how they prepare their potatoes. This is a tiny cafe with very limited seating so they ask for no parties larger than six. Despite being so small, their takeout game is immense. While we were dining I noticed several different patrons who came in, picked up orders, and left. I don't know if they have delivery options or If they work with DoorDash, GrubHub, or Uber eats but it's definitely worth the pickup If you can't get a seat. We will be working this restaurant into our rotation for weekend breakfast spots. I might even get one of their T-shirts as they sell merch in the back. I like the green one and their restaurant logo almost looks like something you can get tattooed on you. Though I don't think I'd go that far. This place is easily a 10 out of 10 for...
Read moreDiscovering this breakfast/brunch restaurant was a delightful experience. The cozy and clean atmosphere immediately makes you feel at ease. Despite its small size, the restaurant exudes a welcoming charm, perfect for an intimate meal. The customer service here is top-notch. Despite having only one server and one cook, both were incredibly nice and attentive, ensuring that every guest felt valued and well taken care of. Due to the limited space, they accommodate parties of up to six people, which helps maintain the intimate and cozy ambiance. One thing to note is that they add a gratuity of 20% for groups of four or more, which is a fair practice given the personalized service and small team. The food is simply phenomenal. Every dish has a homemade quality that makes you feel like you’re eating at your mom’s kitchen table. One highlight is their cafe de olla, which is exceptionally good and adds a special touch to the meal. Overall, this restaurant offers a wonderful dining experience. The combination of excellent service, delicious homey food, and a cozy atmosphere makes it a perfect spot for breakfast or brunch. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy a heartfelt and...
