    Wonton soup
    Kaori T.

    Unassuming, you'd never expect a place located in an office building to have great service, and great food. They seem to have a lot of people who are regulars, they've got cute decor with photos of 90s and then some celebrities... a bit fun to try to guess who these people are... anywho. Both times I was here I had Chinese food for breakfast. First time was chicken broccoli and the second time was the wonton soup. Not the best but it hit the spot especially since finding Asian food at a restaurant early in the morning isn't exactly easy. They've got good coffee, and they cook their eggs just right. I would highly recommend this place and from the looks of it, so would many other people!

    Such a cute little diner! Came in around noon and was promptly sat. I opted for an iced vanilla caffe latte and the bacon breakfast burrito, while my partner ordered the hungry combo and upgraded the biscuits to a short stack of chocolate chip pancakes. The burrito was grilled, and it gave it a nice crunch. The stuffing was great. As for my partner's entree, I definitely found my favorite. Everything was fantastic, and the pancakes were fluffy and yummy. Will definitely come back!

    I had the most amazing late lunch! The restaurant is absolutely charming with a vintage feel, but it's also very clean and lovely upgraded feel! I ordered the Chinese salad with a crunch and chicken & waffles. Oh my goodness - they are incredibly delicious. The salad is so refreshing and the chicken is super juicy and tasty. I highly recommend this place. The staff was extremely friendly and there's even 90 minutes of free parking validation in the back, which is a great bonus!

    Breakfast burrito

    What a delightful diner! We got a comfy booth for a reunion with one of our most cherished couple friends, and had a wonderful time! We were there 8:30-10:30am on a Friday morning and while there was a modest rush around 9:30, the place was never packed out. Our server told us she has been there for 26 years and her recommendations were fantastic! I enjoyed the breakfast burrito and bites of the table pancake--the berries and cream and the syrup were delicious. I can't believe we haven't come here before! It's perfect for a slow morning catch up in a quaint booth. The decor is classic but not dingy at all.

    Pork chops, eggs, plain home price per my request.

    The best, best, best. The staff is like family. The food is delicious. Today I achieved the perfect bite as seen in my photo and I haven't been for a minute and everyone was like where have you been and how are you really where have you been? I love the place. I love the food. I love the staff. Everything about this place is nothing but love. This may or may not be my second review of this place but today was so great I had to.

    The menu is extensive, so it should be easy to find something you will like. We went right around opening and we were able to seat ourselves right away. They have inside booths and counter seating. Along with outside tables. There is street parking and behind the building paid parking that restaurant validates. The pancakes are bland even with syrup and the egg whites omelet needed seasoning. The Americano coffee was good. They have a variety of creamer and jellies/jams. I probably won't be going back, because pancakes are what I like for breakfast. However, I would recommend giving this place a try.

    Roshy P.

    After my last review, we have visited several times and we have never been disappointed. Somehow, none of the breakfast spots I have tried have pancakes as delicious, light, and fluffy. The service is always fast, courteous and efficient, but what I really love about this place is the traditional American laid back atmosphere. Inside is light, clean, and pleasant, almost like home which is probably why we keep going back. Tip: Don't forget to validate your parking before you leave.

    Does this place offer a form of digital or online payment?

    No they do not.

    Is it dog friendly?

    Yes. They have a nice patio and usually bring a bowl of water for our dog when we're there.

    Was this formerly known as the Pantry Shelf in the 80's?

    No. Thomas's

    My family and I are having a debate: is it VIP's as in Very Important Person, or is it VIP's as in someone named Vip owns the place? In other words, should we pronounce each letter of VIP or is it more of a roll-off-the-tongue Vip's?

    Lol it’s called V I P by all of us in the valley as far as I know. I hope this helps you!! :-)

    Do they have bottomless mimosas?

    No they don't :(

I was with my daughter and 2 granddaughters, celebrating Mother's Day. The patio area is very pretty, with the water fountain and umbrellas. The inside was like a cozy home decor. Very comfortable seating, It was very loud. I ordered the french toast waffle with fresh strawberries, kiwi and berries. I declined the whip cream and nuts and didn't use the melted butter and syrup that came with it. My waffle was delicious, with mounds of fruit, although mine was delivered about 10 minutes after everyone else, and it wasn't a french toast waffle. My daughter had the traditional eggs benedict with potatoes, which she enjoyed. My pregnant granddaughter had eggs benedict, but removed one of the english muffins and added avocado. She was very happy. My youngest granddaughter also had the eggs benedict, but with fruit. We all left full. The service was very good, in spite of the busy day.

While two kind waiters originally came to our group to just offer coffee and water, a hostess randomly came up to our group and rudely said "well, your group has been here for 40 minutes now and still haven't ordered and we need the tables". First and foremost, our group had not been there for 40 minutes yet, and if we had been, that would have showed how delayed their service was. Secondly, the hostess came off very rude and aggressive, she could have asked if we were just ready to order. Finally, we had been waiting for someone to take our order the entire time! We kindly advised we had been waiting to order. She ruined the vibes for the entire group, and we did not feel welcome for the rest of the experience. The waiters were extremely kind, just not whoever the hostess was on 5/9/26. Waffles came out first, would have made more sense to have them after the main meal. Eggs Benedict were very traditional, seasoned well but nothing to rave for. They definitely have a different take on chilaquiles, not what I was expecting but decently seasoned. Food is around 6.5-7/10. Well seasoned, flavorful but not unique. Not coming back to this location to due the experience unfortunately.

There is plenty of parking shared with other businesses, and immediately upon arriving, I already noticed what a cute place it was. It's your traditional retro/vintage diner type of place but the decor is all related to black bears. It's so adorable and charming, both inside and out. This place has a lot of character. The menus look like newspapers, which I thought were super cute. We were both in the mood for some breakfast and ordered the same thing, the Volcano. It comes with 3 Pancakes, 2 Eggs any style, 2 Sausage Links, and 2 strips of thick-cut bacon. For drinks, we just stuck with water. The food was absolutely delicious and YES, you can definitely go wrong with these simple items! The pancakes were hot and fluffy, the eggs were perfectly fried and the bacon/sausage were nice and crisp. My son always asks for his bacon burnt, and they actually delivered. He was loving every bite. The plate also comes with some butter packets and maple syrup. My son asked our server Carlos if they had any kind of strawberry topping and he brought some out for us. He was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The menu is extremely extensive and we need to come back to try some more items. They have dinner plates, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and much more! They even have a small refrigerated case at the front counter where they sell a small selection of desserts like pies and such. We used the bathroom before we left and they have one for each gender. Both were spotless clean. We had such a great experience here and we'll definitely be back!
