This was our first time here, and walking inside gave a pretty warm inviting feeling for a Wednesday morning.   Simply decorated and well lit.   It was pretty busy as well.  I was greeted right away, and my order was taken promptly.  Both people who helped...Read More

Super fast and friendly service! On weekends there is generally a line for breakfast. The menu is interesting with a few options from Central and South America. One unhappy thing… the muffin for the Eggs Benedict was cold… not toasted. The Platanos Fritos was OK...Read More

How am I only now discovering this place?? It's so good! We had huevos rancheros and french toast and it was outstanding. It gets crowded so be prepared to wait. They don't take reservations, I think.

This place is popular for brunch. Dinner was pretty calm. I got the fish and chips with a Cesar instead of fries. It was great. The fish was very flaky. The fillets were a little small. To drink I got the ghost town hazy. I...Read More

Nice, quiet spot where you order up front and they bring the food to you. I got the eggs benedict and it was cooked perfectly. Also I loved the hash brown as it was one crispy, delicious rectangle. Bottomless coffee and nice...Read More

I really like the chicken & waffle. The size is large (4 pieces of chicken), it’s enough for me to finish in two meals. Always easy to park, and close to Piazza, which is a very nice grocery store as well.

Food is delicious. There's nothing too exciting about the atmosphere. Their restaurants clean and well kept, but it's just a run-of-the-mill, nothing unique about it space. But the food was great. Had the bananas foster and it was so good.

We haven't had a bad breakfast yet! However, the Gilroy eggs Benedict is my favorite- with spinach, garlic, & artichoke. The cafe was clean and bright. Great for family or date outing. Easy parking. The service was FAST. Pricess reasonable.

Casual lunch or breakfast place with excellent options. Their veggie patties are amazing along with their sandwiches and egg options. My absolute favorite is their vegan lamb burger which never disappoints.
