| - This place is just spot-on in so many ways...
The decor is pleasant and unexpected with a personality all its own (and no country or breakfast theme -- man I hate "barnyard" decor).
The owners are sweethearts (Lou took my order today with an enthusiastic "Talk to me, Goose!" and tends to refer to everyone in terms of endearment).
The drink selection is impressive (premium sodas, beers, wines, coffee/espresso drinks, and at least 13 flavors of mimosas -- my favorites are passion fruit, guava, and blood orange).
The food is just awesome, no other way to describe it. I used to think I hated crepes, but this place has made a believer out of me. I can't vouch for the sweet ones since I'm not a sweets person, but the savory & breakfast crepes are effing genius. My favorites are the Sonora (carne asada steak, roasted tomato salsa, guacamole, jack cheese) and the Monterey (bacon, scrambled egg, tomato, red onion, serrano pepper, jack cheese). If you get a breakfast crepe, you can choose sliced bananas or cottage cheese as your side. If you get a savory/lunch crepe, you can choose soup (usually fideo) or a green salad with vinaigrette. Don't let that description fool you into thinking the salad is boring, though -- the dressing is homemade by Lou and has a base of cumin, lime, & garlic (my kind of dressing!!). OMGYUM.
I heard they're looking to open another location on the other side of town. As long as this one doesn't go anywhere, that's allllll right with me.
