While the street parking is limited, I do appreciate that there is indoor and outdoor seating. So those of you with pups could enjoy a charming meal. I can imagine it gets quite busy during the weekend. We ordered a mocha, eggs benedict, and a slice of brioche French toast. I enjoyed the hollandaise sauce for the eggs benedict but could have been spruced up to have something beyond ham and brioche toast. Perhaps adding spinach or smoked salmon? The true star was the slice of brioche toast. Deliciously sweet and made with fresh ingredients. Savored that and the mocha as we sat outside, enjoying a beautiful day. Will definitely be returning to this spot when I visit SD.

Inside, the staff were extremely friendly and our food/drinks came out quickly! I enjoy a matcha latte almost everyday and TERI's matcha was one of the best I have ever had! All of the pastries looked delicious but I opted for the french toast breakfast plate and it was incredible. I love this place, what they do, and how they impact our community. I will be coming back again and again!

It took me a minute to find the place (even tho there are signs... that's on me), there is a nice parking lot nearby the cafe. I walked in and the staff was so pleasant and prompt. I ordered the special breakfast burrito and a Mexican mocha. They give you a number and you find your favorite seat. AND they got my service dog a pup cup. So he loves the place too They have indoor and outdoor seating. All comfortable. I came on a day when there was no music, but I am so looking forward to coming back when there is.

The atmosphere is cute and inviting. The owners & employees are always so friendly and helpful. We've never had a meal we didn't enjoy here. My family's current top favorites that we're always happy to recommend to others are: Rula hot sandwich, chicken artichoke Panini, bacon havarti breakfast sandwich, bagel & Lox, Westwood Cali, salads, & any of their flatbreads if on the lunch specials board. It's been hard to try new items when our favorites never get old. :) I highly recommend Elmisa!

This place has so much potential but it is struggling under the weight of poor service and careless food preparation. We went here today for brunch and every service interaction was strained. I asked the lady taking my order if there were side options besides just chips - she casually pointed to the cooler off to the side where some mystery containers were stacked. I asked her, "what is it?" She replied "pasta." Ooooookay... so are you saying pasta is an option? What kind of pasta? I finally had to go over and investigate myself.. I saw pasta salad, fruit, parfaits, etc. I just grabbed a bowl of fruit and finished my order. I later saw that the menu also had soup, which would have been nice to know! The tables were all dirty and I asked a staff member if they could wipe one down and she pointed to the napkins. Really? Okay.. they forgot the chocolate croissant with our order and I went up to ask for it and the other girl didn't acknowledge my question and just rushed off. She did later bring the missing croissant but it was so strange that she didn't even respond with something as simple as "sorry! We will bring it out to you." I got a hampeno and it was drowning in chipotle sauce and had stem end tomatoes. I got a Diet Coke in a can and it smelled like musty plastic. It was so soggy that I had to eat it with a fork and knife. The food was mediocre as a whole but the service definitely needs improvement.

There was an early Sunday morning and they had plenty of options in stock. I chose a jelly filled doughnut, and my hubby picked two cake, donuts, one vanilla, and one chocolate both with sprinkles. Well, we ate them so fast and they were so delicious that I failed to take a picture We will definitely be back and try other varieties. Pricing was very reasonable. Service was fast and friendly, and the donuts are so good.

The atmosphere is great and while busy, the shop never seems to get too loud or dirty. The food is amazing!! Drinks are just okay, but I'm insanely picky so most people should end up liking them.

I tried the breakfast burrito and it was good, but I preferred the croissant sandwich over it.

The young man tool working with her was useless. Instead of doing things to help prep the crepes waiting to be made or assembled, he was on his phone or talking to some friends who showed up behind the tent. I hope the tip I left. As well as all others go to her as he did not do anything but spell my name wrong. I hope the 1/2 hr wait will be worthwhile. I write this not to be critical of the small business but point out the useless tool and hope better service is on other weekends.
