If you're looking for a great place to enjoy a morning breakfast, I highly recommend this spot. It has a spacious area, so you won't have to endure long wait times. We only waited about 15 minutes before being seated, and once we were settled, we found a lovely arrangement that made us feel comfortable. I absolutely loved the English breakfast they served! It's always a treat for me, especially with delicious options like waffles, coffee, pancakes, and fresh veggies or fruits on the side. This time, I indulged in something different on their menu, and the service was truly commendable. It's such a nice place to start your day!

First time visiting this restaurant. I ordered the steak and eggs. Steak medium well and eggs sunny side up, with country potatoes and a side of sourdough bread. Off the bat, the potatoes were excellent with a bit of crunch and not overly seasoned. The bread was toasted just right. It came with a side of strawberry and jam, and I must say it was delicious. Now, to the steak and eggs. This is where the plate loses a bit of its sizzle. Although, the steak was cooked medium well, it was a bit tough and hardly any flavor. What little flavor it had came from the butter and eggs. What can you say about sunny side up eggs, you either love it or don't, and I for one love'em. They paired well with the steak. I will come back. Overall, the food was great; my wife loved her chilaquiles, as you can see in the picture. Next, I'll try the waffles or I'll give the steak and eggs another go. On a side note, the outside seating is great, they just need better seats. Those metal chairs are not comfortable.

Be prepared to wait, especially if you want to sit inside. The eait wasnt horrible and for the most part, there is shade. So you order first then sit down and they bring your food out to you. The orange juice was delightful. We had salmon benedict and and omelet The coffee was okay, would have liked it to be a bit stronger. The lavender coffee was good but I feel like lacked a little flavor. Overall it was good though, that staff is very friendly and food comes out pretty quickly. Cheers!

Wow such a good experience. The food is AMAZING gourmet . The waffle churro breathtaking. The coffee is fresh and the chilaquiles with huevos with tomatillo sauce are excellent. We also tried the chilaquiles rojos. The servers were very attentive and cordial. They have a lot of staff members.
