This ingredient-focused eatery has been going strong since 2014. I was surprised by how busy they were for lunch on a Wednesday. That's always a good sign in these "post"-pandemic days. On this day, the sandwich was long-cooked Becker Lane pork, pickled daikon, chile crisp aioli,...Read More

Lovely California cuisine spot. Imaginative fare, not very standard. Had more olive oil on sandwich today than rest of year to date. Very noisy indoors. Plenty of outdoor seating.

Standard fare is one of my favorite local breakfast spots. The buttermilk biscuit sandwich is available any day it's open, but the fruit-topped oatmeal exclusive to their Saturday brunch makes that morning the best to dine-in there. The store does have indoor seating, but the covered...Read More

Was visiting the area and stopped in for a quick bite and space to write. My food was delicious - I recommend the biscuit sandwiches and scones.

What great service and atmosphere. Creative dishes like the buttermilk sandwich. Possibly the best latte I have had. True care and precision for each drink and dish. If this were I my neighborhood I would eat there every week (or day!)

Lovely weekday brunch spot! So many options for a quick takeaway breakfast. We couldn't decide on which pastries to get so didn't limit ourselves when choosing. The vegetable frittata was outstanding, and the cacao nib scone was one of the best ever. Can't wait to...Read More

They just started dinner service and it’s so good!!! Had the Seared Albacore Niçoise. It was perfect. The albacore was extremely tender but crispy on the edges. The roasted chiles? Incredible. All of the veggies complemented the dish and it felt very cohesive. And the vinaigrette...Read More

Wonderful little restaurant. You have to remember. It opens at 8:30. It is a little bakery that was recommended to me for lunch. However, I ended up going for breakfast. Their oatmeal was unbelievable. Which is odd to say about oatmeal. Great little find.
