    The cafe is cozy and lively. I travel alone so I look for places where I feel entertained. The coffee was fresh and the waiters were pleasant. Potatoes are yammy. I do recommend

    It's a nice place and a nice price for the breakfast, but gluten free is not an option.

    Positives: Very good, fresh corned beef hash. Negatives: Too much oregano on the home fries, the eggs were under-cooked and our server was clueless and grumpy.

    Breakfast was good, the ambience is lovely. Feels like a local neighborhood place. Unfortunately there was a bit of a strange smell coming from somewhere.

    Ask for Consuelo. She is the absolute best! Fill out a card and tell the manager that she should be a server!

    SKIP! Service was really slow, coffee was watered down, hardly any fries and a tasteless vegetarian sandwich with zero greens. They have mimosas FWIW.
