    Very surprised that at the time of writing this, this spot only has three stars. Fresco is a super cute local spot serving fresh food that is well seasoned at a reasonable price in a clean environment, and honestly that's all I can ask for in a restaurant these days! We came on a Sunday afternoon and only had to wait about five minutes for our table, we knew what we wanted to order when we sat, and we were able to place our order immediately. Everything we got was delicious, the home fries were well seasoned and they have the perfect double fried French fries which gets a big thumbs up from me. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in the area for breakfast or brunch!

    Ordered 3 drinks and a pizza. Here's the rundown:…read more White Chocolate Mocha - Barely lukewarm and totally undrinkable. Chai Latte - Same issue. No heat, no flavor. Mocha Frappe - The consistency of water and overly sweet. No coffee taste--just sugar and disappointment. Pizza - Dough was raw. Not undercooked--floppy, wet, bite-into-slime raw. We spent nearly $40 on this. We don't live nearby, so coming back wasn't easy but the quality was so bad, we felt like we had no choice. When we returned, we were told we couldn't get a refund without a receipt (which we were never given). Their solution? Complimentary food. As if we'd want more of what we couldn't even eat or drink the first time! This wasn't a cash order, and we were back within the hour--should've been simple to locate in the system. Instead, the employee seemed reluctant to do the work. He ripped a long string of receipts (presumably meant for other customers) and tossed it aside before heading to the back. All the while making it seem like WE were the inconvenience. After some pushback and attitude, we were finally refunded $30 of the $37--and they definitely made a point to take the food back like we were trying to scam them. Service: 0/10 (real training needed) Drinks: 0/10 (no coffee flavor) Food: 0/10 (just -- ick) Not worth the drive, the money, or the hassle. There are too many decent spots to waste your time here. You could even just drive to another Caffè Nero but consumer beware at this one.

I like this location a lot, tucked into an old (but still active) train station. It is very cozy in here and you almost wouldn't know it is a big European chain. I got a double espresso and it was excellent. Although I did not get it on this trip, their chocolate cake is amazing. It was a busy weekday afternoon and there was a line and a full store, but the staff was still very friendly and treated each customer very well.

    I do not give five stars lightly. I do not give them often. And I do not give them to…read moreestablishments that have merely tried hard and fallen short with charm. I give them only when something has, in the truest sense of the word, surprised me. In a world oversaturated with mediocre coffee shops and uninspired baked goods, Quebrada Baking Company stands apart, not merely as a café, but as an experience worth seeking out, returning to, and telling everyone you know about. Quebrada has surprised me. We begin with the iced coffee, because it demands to be addressed first. I have endured, over the course of a long and largely joyless life of coffee consumption, more iced coffee than any person should reasonably be subjected to watered-down, over-sweetened, catastrophically over-iced monuments to mediocrity. What Quebrada produces is something else entirely. The balance is immaculate smooth, bold, and refreshing in equal measure, with a depth of flavor that lingers in the best possible way. It is the finest iced coffee I have encountered. I do not expect to encounter better. Whatever craft goes into that cup, it is something to be protected. The baked goods are equally deserving of distinction. The banana bread and pumpkin bread, in particular, are a masterclass in what these classics are supposed to be. Moisture, in baked goods, is not an accident it is a consequence of discipline and intention. Each slice arrives perfectly moist not dense, not dry, but exactly right with a richness and warmth that suggests genuine care in every step of preparation. These are not afterthoughts set out under a glass dome to accompany a drink order. These are the reason to come. The space itself is worthy of note. Quebrada has cultivated an atmosphere that is at once refined and deeply welcoming the kind of environment that invites you to stay longer than you planned and leave more restored than when you arrived. The staff contribute enormously to this. Consistently kind, not performatively so, but in the quiet, assured way that indicates it is simply who they are. This, too, is rarer than it ought to be. What perhaps speaks most highly of Quebrada, however, is this: for the past six months, I have returned nearly every week alongside a close friend. It has become our standing ritual, our preferred backdrop for conversation and quiet alike. In that time, not a single visit has disappointed. There is a rare integrity to a place that earns your loyalty week after week without ever becoming complacent, and Quebrada has earned ours completely. I have come to understand that a visit to Quebrada does not merely accompany a good day, it creates one. There is something almost alchemical about it. A difficult morning becomes manageable. A quiet afternoon becomes something worth savoring. I have walked through that door weighed down and left feeling, without quite knowing how, lighter. That is not something a menu can account for. That is the result of a place built with genuine warmth and purpose. For the food that has never once let me down, and for the comfort that has carried me through more days than I can count. I am, sincerely and without reservation, grateful. Quebrada has given me more than coffee and bread. It has given me something to look forward to. There is no higher standard by which I measure an establishment than this: that it earns your return, again and again, without ever giving you reason to reconsider. Quebrada Baking Company has earned mine unconditionally.

There's almost something cozy about a place like this. Knotty P. has all the diner signs: worn counter, people yapping, the waitress taking orders non-stop, booths aren't huge, aisles are tiny (good luck getting to your seat) and the special scrape sound of the large metal spatula touching the steel flattop. If you don't mind sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with the regulars, then the counter is your spot. The only 2 seats available were at the counter and we snagged them. The breakfast potatoes are exactly what you want them to be: crispy-edges and golden- these have a little heat kick- not too much- but just enough to keep you going for another bite. As non-meat eaters, we appreciated how the cook keeps the sausages in their own territory (something is something I guess) from the omelettes, pancakes, etc. Then there's the energy- fast and a little loud in the best way. And right in the middle of it, is Ileana who has that special spark and every beat, timed.
