What our guests are saying
Wonderful cafe with nice service and a better than expected wait time on a busy Sunday morning. Mimis iced coffe was a nice drink to start the day, and the breakfast quesadilla with hash browns was great! Comes with a nice spicy salsa and great portions for the price.

We stopped here yesterday for the first time. We were highly impressed with the amazing food. Everything was wonderful! They seemed a little under staffed, but we didn't mind. There's a reason this place is popular. I highly recommend dining here.

Every time I've been here, it's been great. The food and fresh-squeezed juice are delicious. The place isn't outrageously busy, so wait times are modest. The prices and portion sizes are good. Today's special, banana Nutella French toast, was excellent, and the server was helpful and attentive. Tables are plentiful and clean. Decor is tasteful, not overwhelming or kitschy. I look forward to coming back before long!
