Perhaps the best quick breakfast in town. Waffles are perfect, definitely going back for the breakfast sandwiches.

So our CA state governor removed the mask mandate for all school districts a week ago so with all the outdoor seating be prepared to order with a mask even though all the fresh air is floating through the front door. Very unfriendly attitude from front desk. I drove a long distance for sourdough waffles and was told they are only there on weekends. The vegetarian frittata was excellent but not hot. The egg biscuit sandwich was ok but served COLD kind of like the reception after I told front desk it was my first time there. No fresh juice at breakfast. I was declined a paper to go menu when I asked for one.

Yummy but pricey

I’ve had three lunches here, sandwiches each time, although there are other options, and there is real creative talent in the kitchen here. Layers of flavor, with their particular stress on healthy pickled vegetables. I will be there again tomorrow, introducing a friend to the place. My only problem is the barstools -please can you provide chairs with backs instead? (I know there is some limited bench seating with a back rest, but not if you want to face someone … and eat at a table. )

From the first bite, I loved this place. Exciting and healthy menu options. This place would turn me into a vegetarian any day. Prices are very reasonable considering the quality of ingredients used. Support this place if you can, it's excellent!

Very limited daily menu but it’s top quality and mainly outdoorsParking is rough

A truly special place. Every bite is interesting and flavorful.

Love, love,love this place. Fresh, well made food using great ingredients served by nice people.

Delicious made from scratch breakfast foods (muffins, scones etc) and lunches. They make *everything* from what I can tell - bread, pickles, meatballs, roast pork, polenta, even the soda. It's not just vanity or branding driving them to make it from scratch, either. The focaccia is the perfect chewiness and crust for the meatball daikon sando. The pork and polenta also were great matches in terms of consistency.There's always a point of view, even if it isn't exactly what I like (eg the olive oil cake), which makes it still fun to try.

Just wow. Super high quality, unique, and carefully crafted baked goods and breakfast items. Only wish I could've ordered sandwiches from the lunch menu too!
