Jonathan Oatis: Fantastic breakfast. Try the chai tea waffles or the egg, bacon and cheddar scramble.
Mark Tooley: Excellent vibe ...especially for breakfast. Although if you're looking for fruit, yogurt & granola, you'll be frustrated guys - they only sell it as separate sides, not a combo.
Jeannette L.: The Chorizo Scramble is delicious. Get the hashbrowns as your side. Best hashbrowns I've ever had!
