A beautiful little cafe with AMAZING breakfast and friendly staff. The fact that there's an open window to the kitchen implies they're proud of their work. Thank you Ernesto for the excellent service.

Quaint little spot that we found on Google Maps after leaving the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium. The staff was friendly and attentive. Our order came out pretty quick and it was good. Would definitely stop in again next time I'm in the area.
