You have to check out this hidden gem of a cafe. They have great food and the best CAFE DE OLLA (Mexican coffee). The service is awesome as well.

I live a block away from this restaurant and never knew it was open, passing by it looked dark inside (even with the flag outfront that said open). With a friend visiting from out of town searching for breakfast on Google, Google said it was open and we decided to give it a try and I'm glad we did. The food was great and made with care, the staff was helpful and friendly. I will definitely be back.

The owner is so nice. You can come here to grab you a sandwich, a breakfast sandwich, a croissant, so coffee or some Mexican coffee which was delicious she so kind to give me a sample. You can order some Chia Fruit! My favorite thing here to order it the The Lox Bagel, with the salmon, capers, cream cheese, on an Everything Bagel! The customers service is amazing and the owner also voluntarily gave me a sample of the Chia with fruit and it was good.

Great food and hospitality! I had the Cobb salad, and my wife had the Chipotle sandwich. Both were tasty, and we enjoyed a leisurely meal on the upstairs with our newborn son. Will be back.
