I waited about 30 minutes for their breakfast sandwich (which I had heard was amazing) while sipping a matcha latte and it was absolutely worth it. Easily one of the best I've had... rich, flavorful, and totally addictive. The pastries were also phenomenal across the board. Chill, quaint, and memorable in the best way. A must-stop breakfast spot in Mendocino

It's the mini size Philadelphia cream cheese brand. It was a good experience overall but I was disappointed on cleanliness... As I was ordering the employee sneezed all over the bagels and still gave me the one closest to where they coughed.

We both ordered hazelnut lattes, mine with oat milk and his with regular milk. The lattes were decent, but given that we were the only customers, it took a surprising amount of time to get our beverages. All in all, the caffeine will do the trick, but the ambience and service were a little lacking.

What a great little place to snag a tasty breakfast. Lucky to find this place on Yelp. Be advised…read moreit is a cash only. You can always tell a great locals spot and this place was filled with them. We were happy to score a table so we could enjoy our breakfast. We ordered the Belgian Waffle which is the dish they are known for. In addition, we ordered the breakfast burrito, fresh squeezed orange juice, and a hot chocolate. We loved both of our dishes but the Belgian Waffle did steal the show. It was probably the best Belgian Waffle I have ever tasted. The burrito was also good. Loved the OJ as you just can't beat freshly squeezed. Service was helpful but not too over the top. The space is small but there are quite a few tables if you come early. This place is easy to locate in downtown Ft. Bragg and parking is on the street. I would definitely recommend and return here again.

Both plates came with a healthy side of crispy home potatoes which were deliciously seasoned. Our fave was the Benedict with its perfect poached egg and creamy take on sauce (not quite hollandaise, but still yummy). The sando was huge and the flavors are more elevated (Gruyère, spinach) than a classic fluffy breakfast biscuit. I would look forward to trying the chilaquiles next time. Our server Rusty was knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. Shoutout to the host Lucy for getting us in early for our reservation and being super sweet! P.s. they've got a cafe next door, too.

I'm giving 2 stars bc we had some very decent empanadas while waiting for our paninis. Not great texture but I'll give it to them for flavor. What shocked me was the arrival of my lemon artichoke panini. This was literally a tomato sandwich (cold tomato inside) and a slice of cheese. I'd asked the girl up front if something had been forgotten and she confirmed this was right. It's not an oversight on the part of the kitchen, but a purposeful abomination of a sandwich. With tax and a small tip, it's an $18 tomato sandwich. Crazy work!

The produce is beautiful, the fresh apple cider is outstanding, and the homemade pies are almost impossible to walk away from without buying one... or two. What really makes the experience special is the atmosphere. Surrounded by gorgeous scenery, it's the perfect place to slow down for a bit. Grab a cider, browse the fresh produce, let the kids enjoy the playground, and simply take in the peaceful surroundings. You can tell there's real pride behind everything here, from the quality of the produce to the friendly service. It's a refreshing reminder that some of the best stops aren't the big tourist attractions--they're the family-owned places that have been doing things right all along. If you're driving through Anderson Valley, don't just drive by. Pull over, stretch your legs, and treat yourself. You'll be glad you did.
