Needed a gluten free lunch and this place was great. They prepare the gluten free food in a separate area with separate utensils. 365 bread by Whole Foods Market is what is used and it is great. The chips are gluten free as well.

Were it not for the pilot episode of Better Call Saul (S1E1), I never would have known about Lush. But since I am a filming location enthusiast, I had to find what I saw in that fun scene. A quick look at their online menu...Read More

There are very few breakfast places in this area, let alone good ones. Creative choices, great service. We were very happy we found this place a couple weeks ago.

This was a delicious stop for breakfast. The menu had just enough options for variety but not too many to choose. They can accommodate special diets without batting an eye. The staff were really friendly and provided great service.

Very cute café. Came here for breakfast while visiting town. Breakfast portions are generous and delicious. I had the eggs Benedict and was very happy with it. The location itself is cozy, so it's a little harder to seat bigger parties, but perfect for brunch with...Read More

Dine inBreakfast$10–20Atmosphere: 4Eggs BenedictSomewhat difficult to find parkingI'm unfamiliar with the area, and it wasn't very straight forward to know where to park. Free street parking right by the café if you're lucky. Be aware a lot of the street parking requires a permit during certain times, and you may have to pay at a nearby lot and take a short walk to the location.

Great spot by the Saturday market! The brunch and breakfast are both amazing, only wish they were open for more meals!! It's a great spot for anyone with any kind of diet, or groups or couples with different diets. That means my omnivore …

Small little breakfast joint with big flavors. We had 2 lattes and an americano to start. They were excellent. Breakfast burrito was delicious. Both the red and green chilis were perfect. Almost forgot to get a pic because we were starving.

Laid back, relaxed atmosphere (especially outside), friendly service and a solid breakfast. The only thing I was missing, were fresh juices. The lady said „We are more of a barista place“, but I think a small selection of fresh juices, would not damage your business...Read More
