Lee McEachern: Try the Cola Champan. It's sweet, but not like a traditional cola. It's fruity and floral and great with lunch. It is comparable to a cream soda, but it has a greater depth of flavor.
Rachael Leonie: My first time trying Salvadoran cuisine, and I wasn't disappointed. Order beer to split with the table, the avocado salad, and don't miss the pupusas!!
Aurora Theatre Company: Make a night of it with dinner and live theatre at Aurora Theatre Company.

Stephen Fisher: Best batch brews. OG owners. Great tea program. Practiced community and environmental focus. Feng Shui in the space. Suggestion: provide complementary vegan/DF food options like cashew cream cheese.
Martha Hill: Chillax! Good seating with an outdoor patio option. Attentive staff. Tasty quiche options if you need more heft than toast. Beautifully presented cappuccino -doesn't everything look better in Heath?
John W: Cool indoor space with green walls. For working… while the outlets are all covered, the outdoor space is great for working and quiet enough to take calls. No WiFi =(

Ana Rostohar: Their lattes with almond milk and hot lemonades are amazing!! A wrap with salad was huge and delicious.
Arthur Chang: Looks small from the outside, but the back is very large. Beautiful light from the garden patio outside with even more seats. Outlets towards the corners only, Wi-Fi is decent.
heathr gold: Sweet little place, spacious and light with beautiful garden

EriC B.: Fish tacos, cochinita pibil tacos, carnitas tacos
Andy Smith: take advantage of their free parking on the opposite corner
Luis Gachuz-Meza: I really want to like the food here, but the food is bland, a taste you can't even enhance by habanero salsa...presentation is beautiful, but there's something missing...
