    Amazing prices
    Queenie D.

    LOVE THIS PLACE. Definitely in somewhat of a rough neighborhood with interesting characters that passes by, but the food is legit. We ate here like 4 times in 2 days. The food is very cheap and super tasty. I can go on and on about it, but I will keep it brief: if you are in the area, do check it out. Check their hours of operation also, because I think they close at around 5 or 6ish? Not sure on that.

    Cheap breakfast/lunch spot in the middle of golden glades. Ladies behind the counter are very friendly and love to interact with their customers. Service: 5/5. Food came out fast. Ladies asked us if everything was okay and attended to our needs fairly quickly. Food: 4/5. Ordered the steak with egg breakfast. Came paired with fries, tostada, and cafe con leche. The steak was surprisingly tasty. Meat was of a decent size and was sautéed in onions, YUM. The flavor reminded me of my grandma's cooking which I found very nostalgic and comforting. The fries were okay, nothing out of this world. I loved the tostada and cafe con leche. They weren't stingy with the butter and made sure the bread was nice and toasty. The cafe con leche was very hot and sweet - just how I like it. For the price and location of this place, I was highly impressed with the quality of food for the price. Although my girlfriend wasn't a big fan, I would definitely come back for a quick, cheap meal.

    You are foolish to not try this place. No! It's not fancy! But it's a great way to start the morning. The staff excluding the young daughter are very friendly. But the food... OMG! It was so freaking delicious! And there was always a line at 9 in the morning... On a SATURDAY! If that is not a hint and a half as to how good this food is... Then I don't know what it is! Hands down, the food is the bomb!

    It was pretty good; Decent price for the food. There was a line of people so I think it's good for a quick bite to grab.

We were there early; before 8AM, so there was plenty of seating and no wait to order. We ordered a large black coffee and a large breakfast pizza. The breakfast pizza comes with eggs your way (poached, scrambled, over easy, medium or hard), choice of cheese (cheddar, swiss, smoked provolone or mozzarella) and a meat or a veg. We opted for over medium, smoked provolone and mushrooms. The pizza took a while to be ready and it was worth the wait! Deliciously crispy and smoky, enhanced by their real wood fired oven! It was a true delight! The coffee was fantastic as well. We had it black, the true test of coffee greatness, and Alaska's house roast passed the test with flying colors! Add in a pleasant dining room and friendly service, and this is a true 5-star experience!

While the service was super friendly and the coffeehouse/pizza shop vibe was pleasant ( loved the jazz music), the dish itself was a 4 out of 5. The Hollandaise was watery and lacking in the flavor department. The ham was just OK. For a premium price, a bit disappointing That all being said, it just might not be their best dish. The avocado toast looked amazing. I'll try this place again, if only to explore the amazing looking items in the bakery case.

The place itself is beautiful and usually buzzing, but even though it was busy, we were seated right away. I actually love their system: you get assigned a table, look over the menu, order and pay at the register, and then they bring everything out to you. It's efficient without feeling rushed, and once you're done, you can just head out. We ordered a honey latte (so good) and a shake, plus two sweet treats and a breakfast croissant to share. Everything felt like a true treat, definitely indulgent. Not something I'd do every weekend, but honestly... I wish I could. The ambiance is stunning. Think Mamman or Pura Vida vibes, but more elevated, more boutique, higher quality ingredients, and less of that fast-casual feel. Service was great all around, and I'll definitely be back.

The ambience…read morehere is awesome; you walk up to a counter to place your order and then have the choice of sitting inside at the large communal table in the center, at one of the smaller perimeter tables, or outside at a very cool table built right around a massive banyan tree. It's the kind of place where you can just grab a book off the table and read while you eat, which makes for such a relaxing morning. The coffees are consistently excellent and the food is very tasty. For this visit, I had the Neverland iced coffee and the Golden Tater Tot meal, while my wife had the croissant with Nutella, banana, and strawberries along with the Passionate fruit drink. My sister-in-law opted for the Firehouse breakfast with a pistachio coffee, and everyone was thrilled with their choices. The service is always friendly and welcoming, which is why we keep coming back. I even ended up going back to the counter to grab a strawberry latte to go, and it was surprisingly good--the perfect way to end the meal. Whether you're looking for a great caffeine fix or a hearty breakfast, this spot hits the mark every time.

The turn in is a bit awkward, but there parking lot was pretty much empty at that time (and completely full by the time we left). I do not have a large car and the spots are super narrow. If you drive a truck, I would not try to park in the inner lot in front of the entrance. The place is clearly LGBT friendly; kudos for the pride flags out front. I immediately felt like I was walking into a hipster cafe in Cali. You order and pay inside; get a table number and the bring your food and drinks out to you. There's indoor and outdoor seating. I got the secret pita and golden latte. Service was relatively quick. Drink came then food shortly after. I totally wasn't thinking when I got the golden latte. It was a bit warm outside for a hot latte but I wanted to try something unique. Hard to describe but I enjoyed it. It came with granola on the dish. Not sure if you are supposed to throw it in. The squirrels and birds ended up eating mine. Yes, there was a lot of wildlife that was not shy. The squirrel was literally eating out of my hand and would have sat on our table if my friend allowed it. The bird flew in and did just that though. Came back for seconds a few times. Then as the place got busier, they must have gone off to bother others. As an animal lover, this was a fun perk but may be a turn off to some. The presentation for the pita was unexpected. I had to open a the box to get to my meal. You can choose how the egg is cooked. I went with the default sunny side up. The chorizo hit. Hummus was ok. Kind of bland. I didn't care for olives and picked the fruit off my dessert pita. Felt like I had enough pita carbs by the time I got to it. The ambiance was mostly peaceful. They do play music which was on the border of getting too loud. Coffee was pricy but all coffee is now. The food was also on the high end. This would be a major factor on whether to come back. I don't recall anything unique on the menu aside from the pita. The menu appears to change seasonally though.

The space is absolutely beautiful ~ roses everywhere, elegant decor, and very Instagrammable from the moment you walk in. One thing that stood out, however, was a very strong scent sprayed in the hallway upon entry. My friend, who is sensitive to strong smells, felt sick afterward. It didn't linger heavily at the table, but for anyone sensitive to fragrance, this could definitely be an issue. As for the food, our Eggs Benedict initially came out overcooked, but our server Jonathan A. handled it perfectly. He immediately took it back, asked the chef to remake it, and the second round was spot on. Great recovery and attentive service on his part. I ordered a hazelnut cappuccino, not realizing that cinnamon lettering would be added on top. I personally don't tolerate cinnamon, so I removed the foam and didn't say anything, but this might be something for management to consider ~ asking guests beforehand would be appreciated. Overall, the service was good, valet is offered upon arrival, and the ambiance is lovely. While it didn't completely blow my mind, it's still a beautiful spot with solid service. All things considered, I'd honestly give it 4 stars and would return, especially for the atmosphere.
