It was difficult to find as there is a small sign by the driveway leading to the parking lot and restaurant. The building is set in, not by the street, and there was no obvious signage. It looks like a simple house in the parking lot. Upon entering, the room felt quaint and cozy. We were immediately seated as we went during the week and it was quiet. Hubby had the pancakes with sausage and I ordered the omelette. The pancakes were tasty and not dense. The sausages were unfortunately 3 small breakfast sausages. For an additional $4, 2 fat sausages would have been nice. My omelette was good but I don't know if I would call it fluffy. The eggs were flat and the only "fluffy" part maybe that the inside of the omelette was slightly undone. Coffee was nice and rich. I gave this place 4 stars because there was nothing wrong and the food was good. Although this place isn't mind blowing, I think if I lived here it would be a nice regular place for brunch. Definitely a place to try for locals.

My chicken and waffles were excellent, and my wife really enjoyed her omelette. There was plenty of seating and parking nearby, which made things even easier. What really stood out was the staff. My daughter accidentally left her stuffed animal behind, and when I called, they were so kind and helpful in finding it and making sure I could come back to pick it up. That level of care really means a lot. We loved our visit and will definitely be back.

A cute small-town Cafe that has a surprisingly large menu, and slow but friendly service…read more On a Friday afternoon, this place was bustling. We got here at the exact wrong time with a couple of people ahead of us but after we were seated (35 minutes later), several tables had opened and subsequent folks had zero wait. They have a rather large menu (plus a page of specials) for such a small place that includes breakfast and various egg and pancake dishes, sandwiches, wraps, soups, coffees and teas and sweet items. Items range on average between $10 to 17. Compared to other places in the area, the prices are decent. I enjoyed the chicken Philly sandwich with a salad and the goat cheese and mushroom wrap also got fair reviews (only thing is the mushrooms could have been cooked down a little more). The sweet potato fries weren't oily at all. We got the banana pudding (ok) $6 and the brownie was good but cold. Generally the food is good but probably doesn't use the most quality ingredients and lacks some finesse. The dishes also came on plates that were a bit cramped. They don't seem to have a lot of help around the floor so cleaning up after tables, taking orders and getting your check all aren't quick endeavors. But the server was nice and you feel good supporting a local business. There's a very small foyer and waiting area and it's hard to get someone's attention until they are ready to seat more people. A couple of the tables probably could have been used more efficiently and get customers seated faster (like two people taking up 4 chairs). The parking lot is pretty small and seems like it can fill up. That strip is home to other things like a deli, Thai place, pizza place, nail spa etc. A little further down the road is a small park that has parking as well.

The atmosphere is fun and the aesthetic works well for a casual hangout or a productive session. One thing I will say though, if you need a quiet place to study, this is not it. The music is loud. And even if you are just trying to knock out some tasks, the volume might make it a little harder to focus. Just something to keep in mind before you set up camp! I didn't get a chance to try any of the drinks this time, but I would definitely come back to give the menu a proper try!

The iced brown sugar espresso was delish but wayyy too overpriced (7.75 - $1.00 extra from soy milk) and an extra .50 cent charge for half and half. The churro cube croissant was good but not great.

Feels like light on the stomach, being gluten free was also a plus!!! I had the famous Ricotta and Berry toast and my sister had the Grilled shrimp bowl we also ordered Buffalo Parm garlic wings which was to die for!! Their lattes are also amazing and flavorful. Our server, Maggie was very attentive. She sees to it that we get what we need. She makes us feel at home. Wish this place was bigger because a lot of people are willing to wait hours in line! We will definitely be back to try other food menu they have!!

Today we lucked into a table for a late Valentine's Day lunch! Definitely a cute and modern cafe with comfortable seating. Waitress and the rest of the staff were excellent. They had a nice selection of specials on top of a solid menu. We started with the Garlic Parmesan wings, they were tremendous! They were crisp and juicy and loaded up with delicious toppings! My wife enjoyed an Asian noodle salad. I loved the poached egg dish that featured Hollandaise, smoked salmon, and was served on a Portuguese muffin. Really nicely prepared! Unsweetened tea was also good. We look forward to returning!

We ordered the Enchiladas Verde con Bistec, Tlacoyos, Picaditas, Malinesa de Pollo, and Pollo en Crema.

We were chatting with Vanessa before realizing she would be singing later, and wow--she has a beautiful voice and sang some favorites like "Just the Two of Us." We ordered the fried whiting over a waffle, fried chicken with collard greens and fried okra, and shrimp and grits with a pecan coating. Portions were huge, so we took plenty home for our group of three adults and a toddler. Everything was slightly spicy, super crispy, and absolutely delicious. A small but much-appreciated touch: they brought our 2-year-old ice water with a lid without us even asking. The warm sweet potato cornbread muffins were amazing--we liked them so much we ordered some to take home. We'll definitely be back!

The chicken looked good but I only ate 1/2 piece of the wing. (Still have me a horrible headache on the way home). Place is small but that's the least of their problems. Entire staff primarily speaks Spanish and aren't properly trained enough to even know how to take an order at your table. The poor girl tried hard to try to write down our simple order but the language barrier made it hard for her to type our order into the system. She returned to the table 5x to explain the various mistakes she made trying to put the order in. As I stood near the bar waiting to put my OWN drink order in, the young confused waitress ran over to tell me that the kitchen was out of collard greens. I smoked and substituted it for something else. 10 minutes later she arrives with my oversalted chicken and collard greens. Maybe wait a few years and try them, if they happen to stay open by some miracle.

This time I came in with my parents after my wife kept raving about the Dominican chimi and the grilled chicken. We came specifically to try those and, as usual, left completely satisfied. I ordered the chimi and the picadera again, and once more we were blown away. The picadera was stacked with tostones, grilled chicken, fried chicken, fried pork chops, and fried ham. Everything was hot, seasoned well, and cooked exactly the way it should be. The chimi was excellent from the first bite to the last, and the mayo-ketchup tied all the flavors together perfectly. Honestly, just look at the food. I don't know why I even need to keep explaining it. Stop reading the reviews and go eat. Yes, it's that good. Yes, you get real value for your money. And yes, you will walk away full. You're welcome. 5/5 stars.

A New Restaurant in New City. We were going to sit down around the corner only to find out that…read moreShen is a takeout-only restaurant. I quickly consulted The Yelp and found this nice sit-down place, so we came on over and enjoyed a restaurant to ourselves on a Saturday afternoon. (I won't lie - "Ixchel Bakery" caught my eye first for the name alone - but I haven't checked that out yet; we were there for lunch, not dessert.) What caught me first is that the logo sign inside is exactly what Yelp events want. I told them about potentially hosting Yelp events in the future... Anyway, the menu is straight Dominican Republic, and I enjoyed comparing the similarities and differences to my local Honduran restaurant. Some very authentic dishes on the menu here, lovingly and authenticly prepared. We started with a pair of empanadas for appetizer, the res and the pollo y queso. I'm an empanada snob but these have a nice balance of ingredients and flavors, good size for the price. While the mondongo intrigued me, I went with the equally intriguing Yaroa, a Dominican street food with meat and cheese on a bed of green plantains (or fries, if you prefer), topped with ketchup and white sauce. I'm not a ketchup person, but I wanted the dish exactly as it comes, and that's good because it tasted excellent as it came. And it arrived right as we finished the empanadas. The staff were very friendly, but a bit focused on kitchen operations; I did have to flag someone down at one point for a water refill. So that is the one imperfection in an otherwise wonderful experience, and not worth docking a star over. I would absolutely come back here again. The owner was talking potential redecoration, I was talking about trying other dishes - so there are convenient excuses moving forward. :)
