This gem doesn't even have a sign, but those in the know head straight to space marked "Bakery #1" for buttery biscuits, breakfast sandwiches made with those biscuita and egg-topped griddled grains. Read more

Really good coffee and I like that they have almond milk. It would be nice if they had some vegan bakery items and more vegan options on the menu in general. But I low tyl go there for coffee anyway

great specials on the weekend but word is out and it is packed. go during the week and get an admiral coffee (with honey and milk) and you can chat with the friendly owners.

Small space, indoor/outdoor seating & weekend specials like the biscuits w fennel + rosemary sausage gravy, topped w over-easy eggs. Serving pour over Handsome Coffee or brewed Cafecito Organico.

Excellent place for brunch. Get there early because they start running out of biscuits and baked goods as the day goes on.

Very cute and hippy cafe located in a shady Mexican market plaza. Don't be fooled- the sign above the store says "Bakery #1" and not Lemon Poppy!

Perfect little out of the way spot. Amazing Handsome Coffee (pour over) and planchitas (yummy doughy Romanian pastry). Worth a visit!

Admiral style coffee comes with milk and honey. So delicious but not too sweet.

This place is okay. Not amazing but not terrible. I got the tuna melt and it didn’t blow me away. My boyfriend got some sausage breakfast bowl and that tasted better.

I'm going to have to give it a "meh." Bacon and cheddar plachinta had so little of both that I thought they'd given me the wrong order, and came out drowning in kale. Blah. Friendly service though.
