The food is good, and they have a small parking lot, which is nice.
Minus one star because they will start vacuuming at 2pm while all the customers are still eating, even tho there’s one hour till they close.

This place is a great favorite of mine in the neighborhood. There's always a seat available the food is good value and tasty, plus it's a bright airy venue to hang out in. This is not where you would come for a culinary experience but unpretentious simple food.
The only downsides: logging in for the Wi-Fi is a little bit annoying and there is only one bathroom for the entire Cafe with the code.

Across the board, it’s okay. The pros are that there is decent food and it includes vegan options (but skip the breakfast vegan options, portions are small and lack flavor). Plenty of tables to meet someone or do some work.
The cons are poor management/staff. Ordered online for pickup and sat on the “pick up” bench for half an hour. Name was never called, no one checked in. So I stood at the counter for 5 min, all waitstaff ignored me. So I stepped to a waiter as he went back behind the counter to ask about the order. Turns out it was fully packed sitting on a shelf on the other side of the kitchen. I noticed they did this to other people as well. No pick up system, they just wait until you get disgruntled and physically get in their way. Another time I was shamed for bringing in a reusable empty tumbler because they don’t allow “outside containers.” These are easy fixes so I really hope to update my review soon!

It’s nice but honestly it could not stand up to my expectations raised by previous reviews and the prices asked.

When I opened my Togo tofu scramble dish it was pretty light and half empty. The moment I grabbed my food Togo I felt the bag was very light. $20 for this and a small latte I feel is not worth my money.
$15 practically for some plain hash browns not even seasoned pretty much had no flavor and tofu scramble had a couple spinach leafs and some diced tomatoes. Sourdough toast on the side wrapped in foil was not even toasted and it was cold.
This dish taste like sad hospital food.
I even called and the clerk had no hospitality service or even had a solution for the problem. She should’ve put a manager on the phone to prevent this review from being written by a potential new customer.
First time and last eating here.

Super cool cafe with a delicious breakfast menu and a wide variety of coffee options (cappuccinos are ????). We had the Westside eggs benedict and multigrain French toast. The literature theme with the hanging books and wall art was very well executed, great ambiance, and the cafe is spacious so if the main room near the register is too loud, there's a whole separate indoor area and patio which we would have tried if it wasn't such a hot day. Would definitely revisit if we're in the area again.

I got the Breakfast sandwhich. The bread was perfectly warm and soft and the bacon was really good.
The cheesecake was my favorite.
The ice mocha was a bit strong but really smooth to drink, I enjoyed it.

I enjoyed my tofu burrito with a side of mixed greens. The atmosphere is nice with all the artwork and the hanging books. It was a little annoying that they require placing a new order at the front, which requires waiting in line again, for a second side of sauce, but overall I had a good experience.

It’s amazing to see that this place is over during Covid. I was so excited to try this place out on a Sunday afternoon. We were able to sit outside on their beautiful patio filled with a lot of greenery. They had everything closed off inside and were practicing social distancing. My wife got their bacon and eggs plate with was delicious! They had this jelly for the multigrain toast that was amazing! I got their Breakfast sandwich filled with goodness. If you need a breakfast/brunch spot then check this place out. Plenty of parking and they have sanitizer ready to go for you. Such a friendly staff and got our order to us in a good amount of time.

Loved my Taco Breakfast, Westside Benedict, Spanish Latte, and Vanilla Latte!! Yeah, my morning appetite is abnormally large...But the space, the room, the food, and the people are so lovely that they all together can make your day, as well as the amount of food intake ???????? They do have power supply, so you can work with your computer there all day long!
