Crab cake Benedict was yummy with real crab claw pieces! They actually massage the kale so it's tender and flavorful. Hollandaise sauce was perfect amount of creamy and lemony. The espresso in the latte was perfectly brewed, not burnt. I got there at 8am with only one table ahead of me, but the still food took a while to come out. Expect a slow, but flavorful meal.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Came in this Saturday morning with my girlfriend and had an amazing experience from start to finish. She ordered The Chancla (English muffin with house-made chorizo, scrambled eggs, and cheese), and I had The Five Oh Five Benito with turkey, green chile, bacon, poached eggs, English muffin, and hollandaise, both were outstanding. The food was flavorful, comforting, and clearly made with care. The green chile was perfect and warmed us right up on a gloomy Saturday morning. Even the kale and tomato salad blew me away and that’s saying a lot because I’m usually not a kale fan. The service was excellent, the staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was warm, cozy, and welcoming. The vibes were great, the drinks were just as good as the food, and everything felt thought

Stopped in for lunch for the first time today. I had the elote benito (oops, took a bite before realizing I had better take a photo of it). It was great! Light, fresh, unique, colorful. Loved the tomato and kale salad that came with it. We also tried the tres leches French toast, which was sublime. Fans of the erstwhile Tía Betty Blue’s, you need to check this place out! Same location, different restaurant/owners/concept, great food.

This place is amazing. Limited seating inside, place was packed so we got our food to go. All of the staff we interacted with were polite and very helpful with ordering. Despite being peak hours, our food was ready in less than 10 minutes, very impressed by that turn around given how busy they were. The food itself was delicious, and we appreciated the gluten-free options. If you have celiac disease, they take extra care to avoid cross contamination, even having a separate fryer for allergies. Can't recommend this place enough. We will definitely be coming back.

Delicious hardly describes the food we ate this morning. We got the Elote Benedict and Chilequiles, and were blown away with the flavors they were packed with. Nothing we would have expected from walking into this little hole in the wall. The food was anything but basic brunch food. The young couple that owns this place definitely got it right when they put their menu together. The service was stellar. Atmosphere was warm and café-ish. This made its way to the top spot of our after church brunch rotation in one visit. Definitely worth the trip.
