David L.David LaSpaluto: Scrambles are great (w/house potatoes, french white toast, homemade jam), but if you're feeling adventurous: the "Way Wild & Wicked Breakfast" part of the menu. (My personal favorite brunch place.)

Ryan T.Ryan T.: Only one good organic supermarket in 4S Ranch neighborhood !! Opens 8am- 9pm :-)

Greg M.Greg Minamide: Lone Star has to be the best vegetarian sandwich. Try it in ciabatta or lettuce leaves to mix it up. Warning, the avocados tend to make the sandwich innards slip n slide all over the place!
