Joel Bernier: Absolutely concur with Ruth S.! The goat cheese cheesecake is unreal. Another must-do is grabbing a bicicletta with a delicious brunch offering like a frittata or eggs florentine. Enjoy!
Amelia Mani: Everything was awesome, especially the burrata and the duck.
Marissa Coughlin: Brunch is excellent - donuts and the hash are killer. Never a wait!

Martha Hill: Generous-sized corn tortilla for the quesadilla - fresh and delicious, and great if you need to be gluten-free.
The Wall Street Journal: Signature dishes include the $4.50 fish tacos and the $7.95 torta ahogada, a grilled chicken sandwich with lettuce and avocado smothered in red chili sauce. Read more.
Andrew Milmoe: Only place I've ever seen a horchata latté

Rosie Lila: The "Sweet Bar" cookies with chocolate are delicious. I also like the peppered turkey sandwich with extra cheddar. Organic, gluten free, and vegan preferences accommodated.
Adrian Phillips: Picked up a flourless chocolate cake for a party that was rich, dense and incredibly tasty. It had caramel topping which made it even more brilliant. Only $20, great spot to pick up some desserts.
Tom Bellino: Best croissant I've ever had!

Mario Quispe: Great coffee skills here. Perfect espresso extractions. Noisy but doable. Don't miss the upstairs!
Kensie Smith: If you sit at the high bar in the balcony, don't drop your knife accidentally. Aftermath between the trajectory of object, gravitational pull & coffee at the bottom could be hazardous.
Shindō Nicholas Strzelczyk: Pretty sure the Wi-Fi has a 56k connection. Don't come expecting to use the internet...
