| - Ok, maybe I was hungry and swayed by the easy parking, great modern design, nice outdoor eating space, friendly staff and good food. But, who wouldn't give this a 5. What a great way to have a breakfast spot. Walk up to the counter, order, get your own coffee, drinks, condiments, etc, and choose your seat. If your coffee gets low, you just get it. Need more water? It's all right there. How many times at a regular restaurant have you said that you wished you could just refill your own drink yourself, because you would not have to wait? Probably many times or you just got upset. Here you go.
This place has great modern decor with nice colors and accents. I noticed it right away when we walked in. Not what you would expect from the outside, a pleasant surprise.
There are menus on the wall and menus up above and printed menus if you want something you can hold to read and choose your fare. We opted for a veggie scramble with zucchini, yellow squash, and hold the onions for me, a Santa Fe Benedict (thanks to all the fantastic yelp reviews) and two coffees. We signed up for a frequent visitor card and even got an extra 10% off. Woohoo, always welcomed. It came to just $20 for the two of us.
We chose our seats, near a power outlet so that I could charge my phone, and got comfortable. I made a trip to the restroom to find a very upscale modern bathroom that I was quite impressed by. Not necessarily fitting of a breakfast spot, but totally appropriate with all the other modern decor.
Our breakfast seemed to take a little while, but looked great when it arrived. The quantity of food seemed pretty good for the price and everything looked and tasted very fresh. I was very pleased with my choice of veggie scramble and thoroughly enjoyed it. SG loved his benedict and I even got to sample it. Not being a poached egg fan, I was skeptical, but I got very little yolk in my taste. The sauce was delicious, I definitely understand all the yelp. Both of us enjoyed our coffees and had no problem getting up to refill. Especially since we do not really like our coffees refilled mid cup, it just messes up the chemistry.
This place is a little tucked away from the freeway and not super convenient to drive to when you are just in town visiting, but its only just under 10 minutes detour for a fantastic breakfast. Well worth it. We will likely be back.
