    Such a cute, charming little breakfast spot right in downtown. We came in on a busy Saturday…read moremorning, but they still made sure to get us seated in a timely manner, which I really appreciated. The service felt so homey -- everyone was friendly, welcoming, and attentive without feeling rushed. That kind of service really makes a difference. I ordered the Mexican hot chocolate (so comforting and delicious) and an omelet, which was amazing. Portions are generous and super satisfying. There's something about eating here that just gives you that nostalgic, comforting feeling, like a classic breakfast spot done right. Definitely a place I'll keep coming back to. Great food, great service, and great vibes.

    Frank's is a cozy little café with a comfortable, laid-back atmosphere. Seating is limited, with a…read moresmall outdoor table, a few booths, and a couple of smaller tables, but on weekday mornings it's usually easy to get seated right away. I'm not sure how busy it gets on weekends. The coffee is always fresh, and the menu has all the classic café breakfast options you'd expect. My favorite is the chorizo omelette with a side of strawberries. The omelette is flavorful without being greasy, and the strawberries are always fresh and delicious. The toast is decent, though I think trying a different bread brand could make it even better. The servers are consistently friendly and attentive. Orders come out quickly, and coffee refills are always topped off without having to ask. Overall, Frank's is a great spot for breakfast and definitely worth checking out.

    This restaurant offers outdoor seating only and has a beautiful atmosphere. The bright red…read moreumbrellas and lush greenery create a charming and inviting vibe. Unfortunately, there were a few drawbacks. There were quite a few flies, and at times there was an unpleasant odor that resembled strong cheese and animal waste, which took away from the overall dining experience. The food was decent but not particularly memorable. The chicken and waffles looked great, and the fried chicken was very large with a flavorful, crispy batter. However, the chicken itself had an unusual flavor that wasn't my favorite. The waffle seemed as though it had been sitting for a while before being served--it was cold, somewhat squishy, and lacked the fresh texture I was expecting. We also ordered a waffle and bacon for the kids, but the whipped cream that was supposed to accompany it was forgotten. Service was another area that fell short of expectations. Guests are required to walk up and place their own orders, then wait for the food to be brought out. For a restaurant that presents itself as a more upscale dining experience, I was expecting traditional table service. Overall, it was still a pleasant experience, and I'm glad I gave it a try. While there were aspects that didn't meet my expectations, the beautiful outdoor setting made for an enjoyable visit. That said, I probably wouldn't return, but I'm happy I had the opportunity to experience it.

    If Central Perk served breakfast, it would feel like this place. We came in for a casual brunch and…read moreended up finding a new causal spot to brunch. I ordered a plate of crispy hashbrowns topped with tender pulled pork, smothered in rich, creamy gravy, and sprinkled with fresh jalapeños for a perfect kick. It was comforting without being heavy, like a warm hug you didn't know you needed. But the best part? They had fun flavored mimosas that made brunch feel like a celebration. We tried a few different flavors, and each one was bright, refreshing, and paired perfectly with the savory food. (Rachel Green would approve.) The staff was friendly, kept the coffee refills coming, and made us feel welcome without hovering. The prices were fair, and the portions were generous enough to leave you full but not overly stuffed. If you're looking for a cozy spot with great food, good vibes, and a reason to say "How you doin'?" to your mimosa, this is it. Can't wait to come back and bring friends for a brunch round two.

The food was really good and definitely lived up to the hype. Unfortunately, the service didn't quite match the quality of the food. The wait times--from being seated to receiving our meals--were unusually long. It seemed like they may have been short-staffed, which is understandable, but it did impact the overall experience. That said, we're still willing to give it another try in the future to see if the experience improves, because the food alone makes it worth another visit.

    I LOVE House of Mokha. I haven't had a bad drink here and they offer many different flavors. Staff…read moreis super friendly and I will sometime ask them for a recommendation and they haven't steered me wrong yet! Everything they have suggested has been good :) I have been on a banana kick right now so their banana cloud matcha has been my go to lately. Their strawberry matcha is also very good. The matcha is not too strong and overpowering and their banana and strawberry flavors are sweet but not too sweet. Their coffees are STRONG and just the pick me up that I need to get through a long day at work. They also offer pastries. They have something called a milk cake which I haven't had before trying the one here. The Oreo cookies and cream milk cake is THE BEST and I highly recommend trying it if they have it available!!! The chocolate beignets are nice and fluffy. They also have a vendor who makes puddings so pick one of those up as well too to support a local small business! The inside of their shop is shared with Habibis intl market (they have great gyro plates!!!!) and there is plenty of seating inside if you and some friends want a cozy place to sit and hang out. There's plenty of parking space out front and out back.

I also got slice Biscoff milk cake delicious not too sweet just perfect. Pricing must say reasonable compare other coffee shops I been too. Service- when I seen the line I did hesitated staying, but then I talked myself stay and I am glad I did. To be honest for the line they had they were pretty quick getting orders out. Coffee shop has small area to seat around. I say this is more like a pick up and go type of place. I did not vibe being inside store where sell meats and has limited grocery items plus not much seating area. Parking- back parking lot pretty small you better off on the side of the building. You then would walk from front store because coffee shop in the back. Overall, rating 4 start due to meat area next to coffee place.
