They hire a bunch of high school women who'd rather chat with each other than acknowledge anyone waiting. And the prices are insane. Yeah, coffee prices in general are way higher than they should be, but this is another level. $18 for two medium-sized iced coffees. And the quality isn't even that great. I'm all about quality over quantity and customer service. Neither of which you will get at this establishment.

My wife and I were in search of a spot to grab breakfast and this happened to be right on our…read moreroute. We were a little concerned they'd be busy from how full the parking lot was but once inside we got sat right away. It's not your typical old school diner vibes here it's more of a coastal vacation/cottage feel. Now that does not mean you miss out on all aspects of a diner. I overheard many regulars chatting with staff and saw the servers working hard keeping people's coffee cups full. Fast paced with a friendly smile so no complaints service wise. I went with their current burrito special which was the Country Burrito that came with peppers, onion, bacon, homefries and cheese. The burrito also had a side of homefries too, which i think with the special could have skipped on that since the burrito had them inside. My wife got the Irish Burrito which basically had a corned beef scramble in burrito form. Both tasted very good, my wife did wish the corned beef pieces were bigger though. Although we enjoyed them I think we would try different things next visit. The prices were very reasonable I think considering how expensive everything is. A welcoming diner with friendly and quick service with tasty burritos. If you are in search of a breakfast spot give them a try. They are also a bagel shop next door in a different sectioned area.

Has to be one of the worst sandwiches I've ever tried to eat. I took one bite and there was absolutely no way I was going to take another bite and so I just threw the whole thing away. I was going to drive back and give it right back to them without asking for my money back and just saying here you keep this and I was just a little too far away to be able to do that but I certainly would have. This is not a place I will ever come back to. I know a lot of people go there the place was busy the place was packed but my experience was absolutely Dreadful and I am not going to waste my money like that again! There's nothing worse than spending good money on horrible food! I only have a certain amount of time for a lunch break and I wasted it so now I got to go hungry for the next few hours. Poor me. But what a horrible experience.

The fries which came on the side of the burgers and sandwiches were also excellent. The restaurant has a nice outdoor space but the weather was a little rainy the day we went so we didn't sit outside. I do suggest they add more barriers and greenery/plants to separate the beautiful outdoor seating space from the parking lot across the way.

A Balkan-inspired menu? Come on. I finally tried it and I'm already counting down until I go back. I was expecting casual counter service and your typical breakfast food. I was so wrong. We were greeted by the warmest staff, who let us pick our own table. We sat by the windows, which was perfect for the morning sunlight; exactly what we wanted. The menu is eastern European with some Spanish touches (think huevos rotos and patatas bravas). Books featuring Bulgarian photography and other eastern European countries were scattered around the space, it was a lovely touch. The service was just as great as the food. My hot coffee came in the cutest mug and our waitress kept refilling it without being asked. The mekitsi and parzhen were phenomenal, with the parzhen being my favorite. The spreads they came with... I wanted to bottle those and take them home. My husband had the patatas bravas and I had the shakshuka, and we added kyufteh to both, this incredible in-house sausage that was 10/10 (it was a little spicy!). Everything was phenomenal and the portions were generous. If you're not feeling adventurous, they also have traditional eggs and omelettes, all with a little twist and somewhat elevated. Their drinks menu was impressive too if you're into a fancy coffee. Can't recommend this place enough. I shall be back!
