    Have been wanting to try this place for a while now and I was so glad I came with my friends today. My friends got the Mexican mocha and the chicken Panini and they both said it was delicious. I got the veggie skillet with chicken and it was really good too. This place definitely gets busy during lunchtime so make sure you check in or be prepared to wait for a little bit. The service was friendly. Give them a try if you're in the neighborhood.

    Always enjoy our meal here. The remodeled interior and extension looks nice! The staff are friendly. We came on a Saturday morning (9am) and used Yelp to join the waitlist, it estimated a 20 minute wait. Our table was actually ready in 5 (awesome!) we ordered the strawberry milk, cafe de olla, cafe de Carmen, happy waffle with strawberry and Nutella, veggie skillet with a pancake, and Laredo skillet with French toast. The cafe de olla was a generous portion so was the pancake! Actually, all the portions were generous. Everything was delicious! Minor issues was one of our cutlery set was missing a knife, the syrup dispenser wouldn't pour, and the French toast didn't arrive with the pancake. We asked for all of those items and they did bring them in a timely manner, except for the French toast. Over all enjoyed our meal and would return!

    Awesome food, service can be a bit lacking if it's busy. I've come here a couple times but this was the first time where the wait time was almost half an hour (it was during brunch rush time on a weekend). I usually have no complaints about service, but we were left sitting there for almost twenty minutes before someone came to take our order. The staff was probably overwhelmed by the crowd so they also forgot about our waters until a bit after our food came. The food never disappoints, and this place is my go-to for savory crepes in the area. We ordered the poblano and chipotle crepes, and as always, they were phenomenal. The sauces for both crepes were nice and creamy with a nice heat, and each crepe had its own distinct flavor. Portions are pretty generous. I'm usually pretty good at finishing my plate but I ended up needing a box.

    My bestfriend and I decided to try something in the area and found this place! The food came out fast and the server was really nice in explaining the beverages and food options. The place seems small on the outside but going in there were a lot of tables open. We did a walk-in, but I'd recommend getting on the waitlist, as it got busy when we left. We got the chilaquiles (green) and the huevos rancheros. The funny thing is, I was obsessed with the potatoes! We also ordered strawberry banana shake, and it wasn't too sweet which is how we liked it! Will be back :)
