This is a tough one to give, because the food actually had a pretty good taste. However, when a restaurant can't even cook an egg properly, you know it's a terrible sign and a sign to "Stay Away" typically, and this was my first experience with their food. Hollandaise sauce is difficult to nail but yours had quite a nice taste, yet sad because I got the smallest amount I had ever seen, on mine. Not even enough to cover the size of the yolk, let alone enough to be running over the edges of it. The egg is supposed to be runny, but it was rock hard and cold. The runny egg and Hollandaise sauce are THE MOST important parts of a Bani and this totally killed the breakfast for me.. 2 Stars but only because the taste was there, other than that it's simple mistakes that should not be made, that killed my experience. No runny egg and no realistic amount of hollandaise to compensate for it, made this an unpleasant meal to eat..

Called for takeout and it was hot and ready upon arrival 10 minutes later. My son had the stockhouse omelet and I had the turkey avacado bowl. Both were delicious with plentiful portions. Thanks Cafe Espresso, for a wonderful breakfast/lunch. You hit the spot!

I'm recommending Dr.zubby herbla home to everyone who has been diagnosed with herpes simplex virus to get the cure from him. I was diagnosed with genital herpes in 2021 and I have been searching and asking questions to see if I could get something to cure this disease because I did not believe what the doctors say that there is no cure yet. I came across a comment on a blog and the person testified how she was cured of herpes after using Dr ZUBBY natural medicine. I quickly

Went in to celebrate my birthday and ordered two soft scrambled eggs and well done bacon. Got what looked like a plain folded omelette that was hard as a rock. When I asked the friendly server I was told, “that’s the way they come out”. Sad that I Expect two eggs cracked in a bowl and scrambled on a grill yet I receive eggs poured out of a bulk bucket they make omelettes with and offer nothing but arrogant excuses.Obviously the owner doesn’t care or is not thereI paid the $11 and change and left a three dollar tip just the same. I guess I won’t make that mistake again.

DELICIOUS food and lovely staff! We were brought to our table within 2 minutes of walking in, served for drinks right away and had some time to think over the wide menu. Great place for breakfast or lunch! (And you can get breakfast all day! Woo hoo!) Please consider here for your next meal :)

The server was trying and they were quite clearly short staffed. However...the food was not good. The tortillas were very stale, the home fries were both overcooked and underdone, the orange juice was sour... This is the first time in my life I've had to salt a breakfast burrito. I would normally never do this, but you're honestly just better off going to IHOP or even McDonald's for breakfast. (Or go to Colby's if it's not a Tuesday or a Wednesday.)The server also wasn't even bothering to wipe down menus in between guests. As soon as one group was done with the menu, he'd immediately hand it to the next. There was also no attempt at making sure guests were spread out in the restaurant.

Best breakfast on the seacoast! Good service. Fair prices

When I tell you my husband & I are obsessed with this place, I mean it. Amazing breakfast, variety of tasty mimosas, good atmosphere, friendly staff, and very reasonable prices. We ate here every single day of our honeymoon, not even kidding. Truly the best breakfast place around!

Good traditional breakfast options, fun menu, definitely not boring. Great service...!
