El Jardín de los Sueños Cafe — Restaurant in Richmond

I decided to try this spot because it was recommended by many people. Once you walk in, the workers greet you and are very polite. I was hoping to try their Flor de Calabaza Quesadilla which I hear was made with homemade corn tortillas but unfortunately they did not have which was totally understandable. Decided to try their Veggie Omelette and Quesadilla de Huitlacoche, which was given to us very quickly. Unfortunately the Omelette was very kind of small and lacked flavor, the Quesadilla de huitlacoche was tasty but was made with flour tortilla (which is also good don’t get me wrong) but also small considering the price and was hoping to get the taste of the homemade corn tortilla too. I hate to sound like a Karen but I really wanted to love this place especially since it was highly recommended to me, I want to think it was just this day or maybe these specific items. I will like to come back and try their sandwiches or the flor de calabaza quesadilla. Just wish their portions were a bit bigger for...

The turkey omelette was amazing, including salad and a split & roasted sourdough roll. So much cheesy and vegetable goodness! Plenty of parking and an outdoor patio covered in deep, cushy artificial grass, plus a few trees, made for a pleasant vibe even while located a block below I-80.

When I approached the counter to order, the gal was meticulously explaining the menu to a Muslim lady that apparently could not read English. I was hungry, so I had to break in just to ask whether there was any table service to be had. Without any grief, she volunteered to swiftly take my simple order, even asking if that was all, before returning to explain the menu. Who needs waiters, with fantastic service like this?

The only downside was receiving my hot meal served on a plastic plate. Extra perk is Tapatio hot sauce in self-service packets (as well as bottles), just like the ketchup. I can't wait to come back to this...

SO GLAD this place is finally open! We need more sandwiches in this neighborhood.

Customer service is friendly, nice, attentive, and answered all my questions.

Pastry is super yummy. Wide selection of juices, smoothies, and bottled beverages.

Free parking lot. Close to the freeway. Lots of services nearby like coffee shop, smog check, liquor store, gasoline, tattoo shop….

I’m not even gonna tell you to try the babka, ‘cause then they’ll all be sold out when I go. 😢

UPDATE: IDK about you, but this sundried tomato sandwich is good af.

Babka is MY LYYYYFFEEE ! ! !

ALSO: There’s a kids play area kinda space in the back

If you choose to give a thumbs-up 👍🏽 or not, I hope you found my...
