Lovely hole in the wall. Place was packed. Waited about 10 minutes for a seat. Our waitress, and the only server, was great. Hash browns and bacon were top-notch, tasty and not greasy. Eclectic vibe if you're snooty - stay away.

A small cozy cafe, reasonable price but beware they only expect cash (atm inside)

The food was horrible and burnt and not worth the money or time to even consider how much we paid. Like it's really hard to mess up on breakfast and well they did that. Ive been here before the whole staff change and I can agree with alot of old regulars that this place has gone down hill alot. I will not be coming back and they lost another old time customer.

Quaint little spot with great flavors on the menu. I got the Guiilermalby's omelet. Holy heck! I have to say, is it had the freshest slice of avocado tucked inside that I had ever had which brought it all together. The server gave the best comparison when I asked her about it and that it was like Nuevo ranchers as an omelet! Don't forget to hit an ATM before dining in or taking it to go. It is $$ only, but they do have an ATM on site - just not sure of the fees there? After you feed your appetite, you can stop next door for fresh ink!

Exactly what you’d expect from a small neighborhood cafe, in the best way possible! Take a seat anywhere, and the friendly staff will greets you with a smile and a hot cup of coffee, served in a mug that doesn’t match any of the others. (Trust me, it’s part of the charm.) The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and I immediately felt at ease. I ordered one of their skillet meals from my server, Chess (AWESOME PERSONALITY!) and it was just what I needed. It’s the kind of food you’d make at home, if you felt like cooking and had the time to put the love in it - well seasoned and full flavor. I didn’t feel rushed. My food came out in a reasonable amount of time. My coffee cup never went empty. DID I MENTION HOW WELCOME I FELT?!?!? Love this place. I’ll be coming back. 🧡
