I just don't know how this place gets high ratings.4 time in the past I have stopped there to get coffee and I couldn't. Usually they tell me something wrong with the coffeemaker.Today, (01-30-2024) I went there to get a snack as I already had a thermos of coffee in my truck. A lady unlocked the door and told me they are closed (A little after 10 am but the hours said 8 am.)Now it is 5 out of 5 for not getting anything there.What gives with that place???

Nope another flop place that has no business being a restaurant for huevos rancheros...it was like stewed tomato soup on eggs. How ever did they open casa Rivera? Only thing I had at that place was some gross bread pudding the lady handed me since they had no more food n forgot to tell us.

We happened across this fabulous little cafe serving homemade pastries and specialty coffees. There was six of us and the owner Hilda, was the baker and barista. We ordered affagato's, mochas, lattes and breve coffees. We ordered from the bakers case blueberry muffins, scones and maple pecan pastries. All the baked goods were fresh and delicious. The best part of this experience was Hilda herself, she treated us all like we were special guests. She went up and above to take pictures of us and even joined in having a friend take a picture. We will be back and will not forget this caffeinating experience and the fun we had for a long time.

Super cute little cafe! Hilda, the owner operator is so pleasant and accommodating. Walking in with the beautiful aroma of coffee and her pastry is amazing. The puff pastry has homemade Bavarian cream, whipped cream, strawberry glaze and freshly sliced strawberries. Excellent!!

We've been to Sgt Kernels many many times since it's opened and have gotten to know Hilda and Jose well. Visiting their cafe feels like visiting friends. They're always welcoming and the food is delicious.This is a small, cozy cafe. A place where you can relax and take your time. The staff is small but your patience will be rewarded with good food and great hospitality.What we love: The popcorn, the flaky pastries, rum cake and other desserts, their Caesar Salad and sandwiches, their authentic German Schnitzel, hot tea and coffee. We haven't tried everything yet but have enjoyed it all.My popcorn favorites are their Kettle Corn (lightly sweet, salty and crunchy), garlic parmesan and their white cheddar.Food favorites so far are their Caesar Salad and their Schnitzel (available on Saturdays).I'm currently obsessed with Hilda's pastries (croissants, chocolate croissants, danishes and so many others I don't know the names of but they're so good) and rum cake. I visit whenever I can for a bite of lunch or a cup of hot tea and something sweet. I almost always leave with a box full of goodies to enjoy later.Thank you Hilda and Jose for your delicious food and hospitality!

Our kettle popcorn was so airy and fluffy and just the right amount of sweetness! Thank you for your love and support to the Gold Star Families and sharing your delicious popcorn! I will need to come by and try your cafe and other choices of popcorn. ⭐️ Gold Star Mom

Such a great little place! Had a yummy coffee while my kiddo enjoyed an ice cream (which was Thritfy!). Staff was super friendly and welcoming. Will definitely have back and highly recommend.
Food is good but only cooking one order at a time. Slow service. Not enough ventilation from cooking.
