I love visiting small family run breakfat diners ... This place has the best breakfast that I have been to in a while . If you love flavorful breakfast and plated well.. please visit.. u will be happy.. the owners were courteous and the service was awesome and the portions for the price is great on top of that .. try the breakfast taco and the breakfast fired rice. Will visit again if I am back in Chicago.
We went here on Valentine’s Day for breakfast on a whim and ended up happy we decided to do so. The chef/owner was going around to the tables and passing out little chocolates. It was so cute! I got the manila breakfast and my husband ordered the santa fe hash. Both meals were enjoyable in their own ways. The server was nice and attentive as well. Would love to visit again!
Super cute cafe my husband and I stopped at on our trip! We were able to walk to it from our place we were staying. There was a bigger party inside and it was pretty loud in the restaurant but my husband and I could still have a conversation. They did have a patio that started opening up as we were leaving which I am sure would be a little more quiet if you were looking for that! The food was fantastic, they had a great menu and lots of meals for vegetarians as well that are labeled on the menu! We would definitely recommend this cafe to anyone in the area!
