Hear from our valued guests
Must have the latte in a bowl! Interesting menu. I had Kimchi Fried Rice with eggs. Amazing!
💕BEST FULL-MEAL SALADS EVER‼️ I had the mushroom and Jarlsberg cheese salad along with the watermelon and cherry tomato salad. Absolutely scrumptious, sooo filling (I even had leftovers after starting my meal as a famished diner), and fresh! I can’t wait to visit my friends in Davis again!
Tried this place out yesterday, 3/25/26, with a friend and loved it! We both enjoyed the grilled salmon salads we ordered as well as the blackberry margarita! The staff was friendly and helpful and the atmosphere was amazing. Perfect spot to enjoy lunch outside in the nice weather. Will be returning for sure.
This cafe has good food and good service. There is outside seating which is nice. I liked the atmosphere. My only constructive criticism would be to tell them to stop serving coffee in soup bowls. Just not a esthetically pleasing nor user friendly.
Dinner was great! We started dinner with a piece of the delicious carrot cake. All three of us really enjoyed our meals. My blue cheese topped hamburger was cooked to perfection - as rare as you can make it was my request and rare it was! The shoe string French fries were piping hot! Service was friendly and top notch. Would definitely return!
This is a little different from my hometown. It is new to me so the flavors are great. I visit every time in in that area. I had the pozole. I am used to a little more broth but the flavors were good. The coffee is served in a small bowl so you need both hands to sip it. The huevos rancheros felt homeley. I totally recommend this nook.
This is one of the best cafes I have ever been to. Service was amazing with a super friendly guy taking our order, and our 3 meals were made within 5 minutes. The sausage apple agg scramble was amazing and delicate, and the carrot cake was a real stand out. It was super soft, and the cream on top of it was the perfect sweetness. Overall, this is an amazing cafe that is definitely worth a try if you're in the area!
Casual dining experience with notable breakfast options and gluten free bread served with each dish. Customer service was great and they cleared the tables in a timely manner to make sure the next guests don’t have to wait longer than necessary. The pastry box looked extra tempting, too. We will be back for burgers next time!
This place was packed. They asked us if we wanted to sit in the bar.( it was full service other wise you found a seat and then took your order to the counter) LOVED sitting in the bar!! Bartende Anita was amazing!!! The food I can’t not tell you how great it was! I got the avocado toast with crisply potato’s. So yummy! We will definitely be back here!!
Freshly opened with plenty of seating. There was a long line to be seated and service was fast. Tip: if there is open seating at the bar you don't have to wait in line. There is an express counter for those in a rush! Food service was a bit slower since it just opened and things are made freshly, so expect the service to be a bit slower. Food is not cheap (it's airport pricing) but definitely better than the previous options that were available at the airport. Alcoholic drinks will run you from $10-30. Meals will run you from $20-30+ each.
