I cannot rave about this place enough! This hidden gem needs to be discovered because the quality and intention behind each detail of this place is spectacular. The menu had tons of great options for both breakfast and lunch, from sandwiches and burgers to breakfast bowls and waffles, they made it hard to choose. Safe to say we will be back again to try more in the future, especially with their menu being updated seasonally to keep things fresh and exciting. We settled on the Veggie Bowl and Savory Waffles which were both to die for and tasted even better than they appeared, which was impressive! I especially liked that everything tasted fresh and came well seasoned and so flavorful there was no need to add hot sauce, although they had a great selection of those as well. The curry aioli that came along with the veggie bowl was a delicious and unique touch to an already tasty meal too. The portions were generous enough that we saved half of each plate for later so we could indulge in one of their beautiful pastries, which to my surprise were all gluten free! It’s wonderful to know anything on the menu can also be made gluten free as well. The cookie was giant, soft and delicious without too many chocolate chips to distract from the actual flavor of the cookie itself which was not overly sweet, with just a touch of sea salt that I thoroughly enjoyed. The owners behind the counter were friendly and welcoming, even to my little chihuahua girl who is normally quite shy. There is a great little market section with local and hand crafted goods to check out while you wait and the bathroom was cute and very clean which I appreciated. I love the vibe of the outdoor patio seating with fresh flowers that are also for purchase as well. I can’t wait to come back and visit again soon and am happy to make the trip down to imperial beach just for this experience. I am looking forward to seeing this business grow and continue to thrive within its community for many years to come. Show your support and be sure to bring friends and family alike to enjoy all this place has to offer. Whether grabbing a quick coffee and pastry or dining in, this place is sure to not disappoint.

Great tacos, friendly staff, and gluten free beer!! I was told the owner’s wife is celiac so they add the enzyme to all the beers to make them “gluten free” Happy to report I drank some and had no reactions. The menu is mostly GF with switching to corn tortillas. Would definitely recommend! Adding them to the Find Me Gluten Free app network. Would definitely recommend the app to my GF people :)

Delicious pad thai. Loved their willingness and knowledge to make the pad thai gluten free for me. Good place to go with dietary restrictions.
