Had a really lovely breakfast while in town for a wedding. The chili verde omelette was sooo good. And my partner loved his Mediterranean scramble. Guillermo was great! Would absolutely return for the delicious food and good vibes.

Happened to be in SLO for the weekend and the the food looked pretty good and was lively from the outside so we decided to give it a try. A little busy but that was okay. All the food was very good. The omlette was quite tasty as well as the breakfast burrito. Holly was our hostess and was very charming as she was giving us pointers on places to visit and what times. Would definitely comeback

The food was so fresh and tasty. A great variety of well prepared small plates, mains, and desserts throughout the day. Everything was delicious. It is casual, reasonably priced place with with many old standards as well as creative and unusual dishes. And the service was great as well. Looking forward to my next meal here.

What a cool lovely breakfast place. The food is amazing. The service is exemplary. Good selection of morning drinks. A truly lovely experience. I had shakshuka. It was excellent. My kid has an omelette with mushrooms and spinach. He said that it was super delicious.

Had a Sunday morning breakfast here with my son. Nice setting on a quiet street. Open air building with friendly staff. The food was very tasty and quick to arrive. Very enjoyable!

We came here because it was very Gluten Free accommodating, and it turned out to be true. My Celiac friend lovers their food, and didn't get any sort of gluten reaction. So that's great.For me, I got the Reuben and it was solid. Beer Menu was also good. The Corn Bread was a fun free item, no complaints there.

I adore this place. The food is amazing. I've never had fruit so fresh on a breakfast plate. Our waiter (not sure if he's also the owner) was attentive and very funny. Overall the restaurant has such a family vibe that you just want to support them.

Before I start my review, I just want to say that this was my experience and perhaps an anomaly for this restaurant. But I want people to know the good and the bad, so here goes. My daughter and I got to this restaurant at 9 a.m. on a Saturday. The restaurant was empty; there were only two or three tables occupied. We were seated promptly and given menus. Other people came in after us and were seated and I noticed their orders were taken before our server even approached us. I asked someone if we could place our order and they said they'd send our server over. Our server came over soon after and took our orders and brought me coffee, which was great. So far, so good. My daughter and I pulled out our books and started reading. I sat facing away from the restaurant and was engrossed in what I was reading so didn't notice how full the restaurant was getting. About 30-40 minutes had passed and my empty coffee mug hadn't been refilled and our server was nowhere in sight. The restaurant was now quite full and other patrons that had entered after us had received their food; one table had even finished and was paying their checks. I approached the kitchen and found our server near the counter. I told her that we needed to check out of our hotel in about an hour and asked if she could rush our order. Apparently, the kitchen never received my order. Apparently the order was in the computer but somehow never made it to the kitchen. No blame accepted. It wasn't the server's or the kitchen's fault, just a glitch in the system. The only reason I'm giving this two stars rather than just one is that I was offered a bag of donuts and takeaway OJ for my daughter and coffee for me. The food at the other tables looked good; I won't ever know because I would never return.

We stopped here for breakfast before heading out on the road.The service was very amiable, and the staff had great senses of humor.As for the food, what can I say? My breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the crispy bacon prepared to perfection!My partner is a vegan, and the staff were prepared to make her an excellent vegan scramble that was off the menu but readily prepared.The coffee was equally fantastic! Her mimosa was absolutely delicious as well.I can highly recommend that you take time to stop here and enjoy the food, staff, and ambience.

been coming here since 2002. A must go restaurant in SLO! everything on the menu is on point; close your eyes and point to anything on the menu, you wont be disappointed.they also have a alcohol: draft beer, cocktail, wine.this restaurant survived pandemic, that alone speaks the quality of this place.

Great place for lunch or dinner. My wife and I had the Big Sky Cobb, which was excellent and a full size salad was more than enough for both of us. Also tried the fried polenta appetizer, which was very good as well.

Excellent service. We were in a hurry with a flight to catch asked for rush and it was easily accommodated.Our lunch was prepared well and had excellent salad options.Our Cubano and all bread products were very fresh. We asked for a wasabi mayonnaise to go with the sweet potato fries It was not available however they easily accommodated us with a Chipotle mayonnaise that they whipped up quickly. You should try.

After sharing the wonders of Paella, my friends found it on the menu here. So we stopped after a day of exploring the area. It was 6ish on a Thursday and the place was nearly empty. We started with Sangria and roasted Brussels sprouts with goat cheese which were hot and crispy. The cheese was creamy and paired well. Of course, we all ordered the Paella and it came out hot and steamy. The seafood was fresh and the sausage was slightly spicy on the backend. We didn't notice the place closed sometime during dinner so we ordered lava cake. I think the chef was ready to go home because it was basically warm pudding. That was a little disappointing, but it tasted good. Holly was an excellent waitress. Service was great. The Paella was delicious. If we're in the arrangement again we'll come back.

This was a great experience, we needed GFO and most everything on the menu was available gluten free. The services was excellent and server was super helpful with going through the menu about the GFO stuff and understand stood the difference between gluten free preference and celiac. The candy cap cheese cake is out of this world awesomeVegetarian options: Vegan

One of the attractions that brought us back to SLO. Tofu & Soyrizo scramble with corn muffins. And the steel cut oatmeal with bananas. Both tasty as were the latte and americano. Excellent service. We’ll be back!
