    Excellent spot for breakfast or lunch

    They have excellent breakfasts (including good coffee), where you can even get chips and salsa to have with your breakfast burrito. The French Toast Josephine was delicious and reminded me of Bananas Foster in New Orleans.More

    This place is small but mighty. The food is amazing. Home cooked and delicious. The staff are friendly and efficient. We were there on Sunday morning and it was packed! They have crepes that just melt in your mouth. It is a must try!

    Description
    We are a family owned and operated cafe. We began as a bakery and over the years have added our love of great homemade food to our menu. Each location has a bakery, complimentary homemade chips and salsa bar, and complimentary fruit infused water. We make everything from scratch, just like we cook for our kids at home. Try our pancakes, the crepes, the Belgian waffle, or any of our favorites and meet the amazing people that work with us to ensure we are spreading love one meal at a time! With love, Denica and James Freitas
