★★★★★ 5.0 Rens De Armas · Sep 2025

Popped in for a quick bite while visiting the area and honestly didn’t expect to have such a fun time. The staff is super quick but also really sweet. The owner brought my food over, gave me the nickname Salina on the spot, and kept up some great banter that instantly made me feel welcome. They made my food right in front of me, checked in a few times, and even introduced me to some of the locals hanging out there—it seriously felt like one big family. First time here, but definitely not my last. Can’t wait to come back!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Ethan Lim · May 2023

Came here for breakfast, got a sausage egg and cheese on a roll. Food was pretty good but not anything to rave about. They’ve got standard breakfast items, lunch options, and (interestingly) middle eastern/Mediterranean options. Prices are pretty solid for the area, got the roll and a coffee for $5.80. Good little cafe to stop in if you’re in the area looking for a budget bite.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Heather Brooke-Ryan · Feb 2023

I came for lunch around 1230 and ordered a Gyro pita sandwich. It was delicious. I also got the Raspberry crumb cake which tasted like ginger. It wasn’t sweet and I barely tasted the raspberry. I took one bite and then threw the rest away. One of the older male staff was a mildly unprofessional. I was hit on by the staff and would have preferred to just have got my lunch without the added and unnecessary conversation.

Sanitary conditions are not existent here. The guy grabs the rolls and bacon with bare hands no gloves. The other cook was blending something and scraped the rest with his hands. I decided to sit And the man was like I should’ve told him it was to stay. He could’ve saved the bag and the wrapper. Or maybe he could’ve just asked if I wanted it to stay or to go.

Great place to grab a bite. I like their Fried Whiting sandwich. It's just as good and better than other shops in the area.
