First time here. Challah bread French toast.. amazing
Florentine eggs Benedict so yummy.
Jeannette welcomed us as soon as we entered the restaurant.
We got a cold brew which I loved
Jeannette was telling us the food is all made to order so on busy days it takes a little more time. It was worth it. Presentation was beautiful and the food was awesome.
They also have a punch card for coffee get your 10th one free. -

Atmosphere indoors was quaint, but very loud, and there were only three tables, including ours, occupied: two four-tops with two people each, and a group of seven. Our table was third in line to place an order. It took under ten minutes to get an order of cappuccino, with whole milk (there's also an option for almond milk) placed, and mom was granted a sample of apple juice to try while we placed our breakfast orders, but not before being warned that we may be waiting "40-50 minutes" for our "made from scratch" food to arrive when I pressed for specificity since there was a large party seated before us, as I hinted we'd leave of it was going to be closer to an hour. We decided to stay, and our server, the only one there working the tables, the register, and bussing the tables, was working as best as she could. Mom really liked my cappuccino, so we ordered another one for her, as she found the apply juice to be too sweet.
While I didn't watch how long it took for the food to arrive, it did feel about 40 or so minutes before the Florentine Benedict and Banana Kahlua French toast appeared, and they looked and tasted delicious! We were both very hungry, and mom's plate looked perfect, so I didn't complain about the burnt challah toasts, though I normally would have. I kind of felt bad that our plates arrived while some people in the large party were still waiting for theirs- Mom and I noticed that some had finished eating and had their plates bussed, while others had their orders arrive after mom and I were already digging into ours- but perhaps some had issues with their orders and they were sent in to be corrected? That was another reason why I didn't speak up about the burnt toast-- as I didn't want to cause the kitchen any more delay, and the server had no one else to help her with FOH duties.
Mom had no complaints about her entree, and she really liked her Benedict, which she reported was fulfilling. Correction: she did mention that the curried potatoes were too salty, and I concur. Despite the saltiness, the bite of potato I had tasted good. The Kahlua sauce and glazed bananas were terrific on my challah French toast entree, and I quite enjoyed watching mom swipe a few of the banana slices! She also remarked that the challah toast and sauce she tried were good.
Despite the noise indoors, the burnt food, and the long wait, we would return again. I couldn't persuade mom to choose "patio-dining," but that certainly was an option, and one I would choose if meeting friends there for a meal. If it looked like there would be a long wait, I may just opt out of waiting and find another breakfast location, or request that the toast not be burnt. Perhaps another server and/or another cook called out today, or maybe the hot weather cooling down is bringing more customers in? The food we had today certainly begs for a second visit, and I hope everything will go a lot smoother then!
Many thanks to our server, who stayed calm despite being the only one we saw at the FOH. (I did see the right sleeve of a chef's coat on one occasion when it sounded like someone was going to emerge from BOH, but the chef/cook decided to stay in the kitchen.) -

This cafe is located in a strip mall that houses Home Depot. Hubby found it online as we were looking for places for breakfast near us. We looked at the menu online and it looked really good so we gave it a try.
First of all, the restaurant is really tiny. I mean it. Tiny. There are only 8 tables that sit four each inside and several outdoor tables but it was over 100 degrees so I'm not sitting outside. Thankfully when we went in, there was a table. We were greeted promptly, directed over to that table. The server brought us our menus and place settings and said she would have another server take care of us. She also said they just started serving mimosas in case we wanted one. We looked the menu over and within seconds the other server greeted us and asked what we wanted to drink. Since they grind their own beans, we decided to try just the regular coffee . It was good.
While she was getting our coffee, I looked behind me and saw that breakfast was only served from 7 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. We were in after 12:30. I confirmed with our server that breakfast items were no longer available. So we went for lunch. They had a nice assortment of salads and sandwiches. Our server did say pretty much about 80% of the items on the menu were organic.
I got the smoked turkey sandwich. You had choice of bread; I got wheat.
It came with chips and coleslaw or you could substitute for a salad. I didn't want either coleslaw or salad so I just said chips. Hubby got the club sandwich on wheat I think. He went with chips and coleslaw.
And then we waited. Now remember there are only 8 tables here and only one other table hadn't gotten their food. They were just ordering when we were being sat.
It took a longer time than expected to get the food out. Both to the table also waiting as well as our table. We figured after they got their food ours would be next, and of course it was, but probably took in total about 20-25 minutes to get the food out. The other table had ordered sandwiches also.
When our food came, I will say it was delicious! We decided to share our sandwiches, so I got half of my hubby's and he got half of mine so we got to sample each of them. The amount of meat they put on was insane! It was A LOT of meat. And on his club there were lots of bacon strips along with the ham and turkey. Mine had sweet pickle on it. I love sweet pickles and rarely have them so that was a treat.
A little after 1 o'clock, two of the servers left, which just left our server. She was a little busy after that taking orders from people who came in.
The restaurant was stuffy too. The air conditioning was working but it still was stuffy . Maybe cause its so small?
We might come back and try breakfast when our schedules permit. The jury is still out if we will be back. -

We are in town visiting a friend and I got to pick out brunch location. This place is so cute! Except for the fact that they didn't have 3 menu items we wanted, it was amazing!

Stopped in to check for breakfast and coffee. Is ok. Having only an Americano 6 shot and honey substitute-aguave which is also ok. No other customers here. Breakfast menu is also...ok. But I've elected to pass on that.
