I'm not a vegan, but was looking for a good breakfast after taking a friend to the mesa airport. This place had a lot of mixed reviews- but most of the bad was about service not food so i thought I'd try it out as I don't trust many people's negative service reviews.
The service was fine. Nothing exceptional but not rude or bad by any stretch of the imagination. The decor of the place is fun and inviting. The patio area outside is nice too. Lots of ads for open mic night and live music makes me want to come back to check those out.
I thought the Santa Monica French toast sounded good and had some good reviews. It was fantastic! The bread was so good and super fragrant. It felt like a $20 plate but was only 10 bucks. The almonds and strawberries topping it were the perfect touch. The potato hash was really good too, liked the sweet mixed with the regular and a few purple- was tasty. The whole meal felt like a nice homemade, healthy dish.
Some better non-coffee drink choices would be nice. $6 for an o.j. didn't sound appetizing. A minor holdup to a great overall experience!
