Hear from our valued guests
The ambiance was so cozy and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed afternoon Everything was cooked perfectly, and the flavors were amazing.
They have the real chilaquiles, not just chips with salsa. Love the pastries!
Food is very "homemade" feeling. Cheddar biscuit was exactly what I was looking for. Would return to try some of their other baked goods / pastries. I wished the biscuit sandwich had some sort of sauce on it. Chipotle mayo or honey hot sauce would be good.
Delicious food, sweet, relaxed atmosphere, ideal for small groups and couples. The server was kind and gave us great recommendations. We had hot chocolate, the spinach scramble, the cheddar chive biscuit, and the BLTA. It was all outdoor seating, but it was surrounded by beautiful flowers and plants. Recommend!
This place is so cute and relaxing. Their pastries are so good, and it's hard to choose what to get. We got the sticky bun and coffee cake. For breakfast, we had the Chilaquiles and OMG they were so flavorful. The service is great and the ladies are so friendly. We were also lucky to have an employee perform for everyone while we were there, making it a relaxing, peaceful experience.
. I love the outdoor garden setting is lovey. It reminded me of Alcove cafe in Los Angeles, in the smaller version though, and in Del Mar, there is a cute outdoor cafe shop too My friend ordered Chilaquiles. They were good however chilaquiles were swimming in salsa. It made them mushy/soggy where it ruined the texture of the dish for my friend. Maybe using slightly less sauce so they stay a bit crisp. The outdoor setting is lovely however the music was too loud for a moring breakfast.
I’ve been looking for a little nook of a coffee shop to work/study at and I stumbled across this place. It’s adorable and delicious. Not busy since I came by after lunch mid week. I bet it’s hopping on the weekend! Apple crisp cheesecake for tax & a cappuccino in a “choose your own mug for here”. Also got a brownie to go. EVERYTHING looked delicious.
I stopped by on Christmas Eve hoping to purchase a cinnamon roll. Unaware that the bakery was closed, silly me, I parked and walked up to the entrance. Noticing a car parked in front and the place being closed, I turned back to return to my car. A woman asked if I needed anything. I explained that I realized they were closed, but she asked what I had been hoping to get. When I mentioned a cinnamon roll, she informed me that she was the owner and she would grab one, and when I offered to pay she kindly declined. She returned shortly after with two cinnamon rolls, though I asked for one and wished me a Merry Christmas. Her generosity was incredibly thoughtful and truly made my day. I am so grateful! I couldn’t believe I met the face behind the very place I love! I used to visit this bakery regularly when I lived in Costa Mesa, and it remains one of my favorite spots. It is a charming bakery with exceptional food. I especially love sitting in the garden—both the front and back are beautiful. From the coffee to the baked goods, everything is consistently excellent.
It was my boyfriend and my first time here and everything was awesome! Grace was behind the counter interacting with the customers and Juan was the master behind the grill. The food was incredible and you get a lot of bang for your buck here. The atmosphere was beautiful inside and out, very wholesome and homey, and the music was a very nice touch. Grace had such amazing service though as she was so nice, offered us some extra goodies on the house simply because they could not be sold and would go to waste, and even drew a little chicken character on my smoothie and my boyfriends coffee lid. She was very accommodating to any requests and very friendly and patient. All the stuff you see in the photo we got for $55, not including tip. Overall, amazing brunch spot and we will for sure be back.
Saturday between 9-10am very quiet, parking is tight but if you’re willing to walk you can park in certain residential areas. The young women taking the orders was super chipper and had recommendations for my first time. I loved the French toast. The outdoor seating area is small but adorable. Seems like the perfect local spot to grab a coffee and lunch to read or catch up with a small group or one on one. Definitely will be back as I want to try the biscuits and gravy and the rest of the lunch menu!
