This place very much reminds me of the cafes I've visited in Paris, except the staff is very friendly and the service is better. We stumbled on this place when we brought our car to the "Cars & Coffee" gathering that is hosted at Gainey Ranch the first Saturday morning of every month (where you can peruse dozens and dozens of exotic and classic cars - check it out!). We see some of the same people and the staff is always friendly -- feels like dining with family (close family, not the freak-show family that crawls out of the woodwork for Thanksgiving). My fave is probably the Croque Madame sandwich, which is a classic and well prepared here. We've always tended toward the savory, but anything with Nutella in it can't be bad.
This is definitely the kind of place you can come with a newspaper and just chillax. And you can even bring Fido, which makes it even more homey.
