    For everyone complaining about service, yes it was a little slow but you have to take a couple of factors into consideration. 1. At a grand opening, you don’t know how slow or busy the place will be. 2. Servers are learning to get into the groove. Working or any kinks as they go along. Our party of 3 walked in and were sat right away. The ambiance is very welcoming and airy! Service was slow, but that was to be expected. However, the server was very calm despite the busy flow of traffic. She stayed professional and provided great service. The food was great! Our 8 year old loves the “Cracked Egg” pancakes. My husband enjoyed his steak and eggs. The steak was cooked to perfection. I tried the green chilaquiles and they did not disappoint. The green juice was soo refreshing! Overall, I will definitely be returning and will update with the next couple of visits. I’m sure all the fine turning will be taken care of by then. That’s what I’ll be looking forward to. There is an abundance of parking available. As well as a baby changing table in the restroom.

    Looked forward to trying this place. Didn't read any reviews. Wanted to make my own opinion . Quite disappointed , food is so so . Nothing special. The portions are small. About average price for this area. I ordered the county fried chicken , gravy was good , size of biscuits and the chicken were small . My wife had the Mexican burger, she is not a fan . The patty was dry and bland . Cheese wasn't melted at all . Check your glassware and utensils for food residue , we had both not clean . Server had to come back twice during our order. Not knowing the options.

    The food here is very horrible. Better off going to McDonald’s for breakfast. I ordered a cup of coffee and it had a lot of coffee grounds. My eggs came out runny and my crepes they didn’t add the banana that I ordered.

    I attended the Grand Opening and was impressed. It's great to see new places like this open in the area. The atmosphere is welcoming and vibrant. Staff was very friendly. They have extensive menu options for breakfast and lunch! I will definitely be returning to eat here.

    Fell in love with this place. I was telling a couple of co-workers about this restaurant and how they need to go there. They are very good

    Went in excited to try a new place out and left honesty kind of disappointed. Order the Chilaquiles verdes the presentation was great but the flavor was not. I Expected for them to have at least a kick of heat it did not, flavor was so plain. kind of disappointed

    Where do I begin…my handsome boyfriend and I came in at about 11:45am and were seated right away. We did not read the reviews because we wanted to have our own opinion of the place. Food: What can I say, I was very disappointed in the food. I ordered the chicken pineapple panini and my boyfriend ordered the Chilaquiles with cecina. The food came out within 8 minutes from when we ordered which was the first sign we noticed that it would be an interesting meal. The panini bread was not completely toasted and the cheese was not melted at all. The Chilaquiles were not seasoned, the salsa verde lacked a lot of flavor, the tortilla chips tasted as if they were pre-cooked in the morning and the cecina was cold and very dry. We wanted to give them another chance and tried the pancakes. They unfortunately came out within 5 minutes and were not hot just warm with the bottom pancake being not even completely cooked, and didn’t seem to have the flavor like the 3 on top, it was also about half the size of the other 3. Service: Can’t complain about the service, our waitress was very fast and on point. The only thing we will say is that when we asked for the rest of the Chilaquiles to go (so that we can fix them up at home) the bus boy threw them away. Atmosphere: Loved the vibe of this place and the decor. I really wish that the food was hot and fresh and not pre-made and lukewarm.

    Delicious food. I read the reviews and I have the right to say everyone is not perfect and if everyone will give a constructive criticism thing will get better in this world !! I think if you have something good to say, say it! If you don’t, don’t write anything at all or just don’t come back I don’t judge by reading a review . I like to try it my self to make my own judgment about this great breakfast place

    Food is really good- we had the green chilaquiles and French toast. Both were great. The mild chilaquiles were spicier than I expected but great flavor. The ambiance is great! Trendy vibes and modern looking. Love the small details they put into selection furniture and decor. Now the bad.. The service was okay- our waitress forgot about us a few different times. It was fairly busy though so lam not sure if that's the norm. I had to ask the hostess for our waitress after waiting for almost 10 minutes without any acknowledgement. I ended up having to pay in front because she never came back to take my payment. She was nice but service was underwhelming. Cost- this place is pretty expensive. A basic cup of coffee is $4 which is crazy to me. I think any juice is around $5. Maybe I'm just poor but for what you are getting it feels slightly overpriced. Maybe you are paying for the ambiance but I feel even though this place is local to me I won't be a regular here due to the cost.

    We went there this morning and couldn't wait to leave a review. The service was excellent and we had the friendliest and attentive waitress. The food was delicious and coffee fresh and hot. Can't wait to return for another meal.

    Went to the Grand opening today, had the USDA Choice Ribeye with poached eggs, fresh fruit, pancakes and a freshly squeezed Orange Juice, my brother got a Turkey Bacon Avocado club with fries. I’ll start by saying the prices are high and you might wait around 20+ minutes BUT what you’ll get is amazing tasting food, quality service from staff and a very nice atmosphere. The Ribeye was seasoned perfectly and cooked just how I wanted it, rare. Fresh fruit was great and tasty, freshly squeezed Orange juice was heavenly but $6 a cup is steep for the average person who’s accustomed to Huck Finn. The quality of my brothers TBA club was great. He was very impressed with their fries and how the sandwich wasn’t dry. The quality of bacon wasn’t a cheap cut either. In all the atmosphere was great, staff were happy and business was busy. I’m glad a place like this has opened in the neighborhood. It’s hard getting your feet on the ground but pretty soon they’re going to be running at full force. I’ll definitely be back.
