The New York bagel with lox was great. They also have a mixed French toast platter that was good.The brioche French toast was not good, skip it. It was burnt, not fluffy, and very tough for French toast. Very disappointed in that choice.The apricot banana was good as well the blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes.The fresh orange juice was excellent.One note: I like that the bar seating is first come first serve, the bar chairs though are very difficult to sit in if you have a big butt. I'm only a 36-38 waist man but the angle of the seat backs are so tight you can't actually feel secure on the seats.

07.03.2022: Sat at the bar and the service was awful. We were not attended by any of the many people behind the bar. They did not check if we needed refills for water and coffee and I had to scream and ask someone to please give us more coffee and water. I am absolutely furious and I will not want to come here again because of the poor service.The food (chilaquiles and breakfast nachos) was great but that’s about it. I want to leave a place happy not angry!If you don’t want to sit at the bar (if the bar is open), the wait is very long so another minus.Not recommended.

It was a good experience even though I didn't give 5 stars. We went on father's day and it was super busy. The waiters were excellent and the food quantity was huge. The quality was okay and could be better, however I guess the number of people was a factor.I was shocked there were no milkshake options even though there were hard drinks and a few juices. For a morning place and with the food they sell milkshakes should be an option.I would certainly recommend this place to others for brunch and I'll visit again soon.

First time eating here. Absolutely, the best breakfast in the South Bay. Food was fresh, delicious and delivered timely.Wait was approximately 40 minutes on Fathers Day which I thought was very efficient. Great, abundant menu, HUGE portions and friendly staff. KUDOS to owner and all who work here. Don't waste another minute looking for a place to eat . Just try it!

We had to wait 30 minutes but it was well worth the wait. Our server Mikayla was nice and polite. She told us some of her favorites and some of the populars. She recommended I get the chicken and waffle Korean style. And I will tell you that was one of the best waffle and chicken I tasted. The chicken was cooked perfectly falling right off the bones the Korean style sauce was sweet and spicy. The Belgium waffle came with some sweet whipped butter and maple syrup.I will say it was the perfect breakfast. We ordered the club mimosa and let me tell you.. the best ??. My other 2 friends ordered the Midtown scramble and Mexican scramble and they were delicious ? too. Items was priced right.I will definitely be back if I'm in town.

My parents and I arrived at 8:30 AM and asked for a table for five. They would not seat us until we all were there , which was fine, so we waited for my brother and cousin to arrive. As we were waiting, more people came and the place quickly filled up. I put our name on the list once we were ready to be seated. One of the two hostesses recognized me and promised us the next table as we had been there earlier. We had been waiting for 40 minutes at this point. Another 15 minutes pass and I go in to check on our table. Again, the hostess promised me the next available table. A couple minutes later we were seated at a four person table up against a wall. We needed a larger table that could comfortably seat 5 adults so we asked to move. The second hostess told us that we could move to a set of tables that were next to each other but needed to be pushed together. The first hostess pushed the tables together and then we sat down. Several minutes pass and no server comes by. Eventually, both hostesses approach my dad and tell us that they have a party of 7 that they wanted to seat where we were sitting. They told us that they have a different table for us that is supposedly the same length as the current table but narrower. We decline to move and the second hostess tells my dad, “Okay so we’ll just go blow off our party of 7.” And then she leaves. We finally get served and my brother points out that the hostesses told the server to ignore us because they were going to move us. Once we declined to move, the service was quick. The food was fine but the hostess that was rude tried to be polite at the end as if she did not insult us earlier.

the proportions and quality of food were amazing as well as the service

My wife and I tried going here a week ago and it was super packed so we went to McDonalds slightly next door. We finally got to go and found good parking. The place was still packed but we got in within 15 minutes. Small living room sized place…Loud with music and voices… not a bad thing! No one could hear our conversation and I couldn’t hear theirs! The food was delicious. This specific day we experienced the SWAT team bust a few African American youngsters with AR 15s pointed at their heads… I even took pictures in which disappeared off my phone completely within 24 hours. And they say “conspiracy.” I was shocked! Anyways… I’d recommend this place for sure. ??

Visiting my friend that lives out here in west coast & she took me to this place for breakfast & oh my it was so friggin good! Everything they had on their menu sounded delicious, and they had so many varieties too from savory to sweet options. We decided to share one sweet & savory- she got the puck 3 options of the sweet and I ordered the farm house omelette. We decided on the red velvet pancake, raspberry cream cheese French toast, and blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes. It was DIVINE- the blueberry pancake was my favorite. All the staff were super friendly and it was a good vibe overall. Their mimosas are delicious too?

This place is always jammed packed. Line starts early eight to nine am in the morning. Four star given for their rich menu - lot of options, food quality is good, price is not bad under the inflation circumstance. Missing one star is for the hosts, and services (again it’s a busy place and it’s not a fancy fine dining so not a complain)… Hence, it’s a great breakfast/brunch place to enjoy overall, if you’re not in a rush.
