The chilaquiles were great, we also had the House Benedict, and it was great too. The portions are good enough to share. The service is great and fast. Will definitely return in my next trip to L.A.

Looking for a good breakfast place while visiting Downey Ca, I may have found one. This popular local spot uses fresh ingredients to create their dishes. The food is good, portions are generous and all are priced accordingly. The French Toast was very flavorful and the bread was cooked perfectly, unlike other establishments where the bread tends to be a bit firmer (hard) which, negatively impacts the overall taste of the dish. The Steak and Eggs were good but the steak did lack seasoning and flavor and tasted a bit bland. The inside dining area is spacious, clean and can accommodate large groups. Outdoor seating is available should you desire. The painted wall decor is colorful creating a soothing relaxed atmosphere. The operational efficiency on how customers are greeted, seated and served is very much customer service friendly. You’re initially met by a greeter who directs you to a QR code where you’re able to view the menu and order. You’re then directed to a cashier where you pay for the meal (In advance, tip optional) and are then seated. Within 8 short minutes your food arrives table side. This process does have one distinct advantage, which, is your food arrives much quicker than most. The draw back, it’s already paid for if you’re dissatisfied. The servers were friendly and very attentive. I would suggest you arrive early since, it can get very busy. With that, other than the steak missing the mark, overall, I believe you’ll enjoy your dining experience here and would recommend this breakfast spot.

It was nice place to go for brunch. Not so crowded and delicious, and service was quick. I had short rib benedict. It was nice but one thing off was the gochujang flavor was dominating the whole dish. As Korean i love gochujang flavor, but this, i cannot taste others.

The food wasnt as great as it looks. Its a fast food restaurant. The poached egg was over cooked and cold. They are definitely pre made. Coffee was good.

We arrived around 1 pm and had enough time to eat for a party 5 until their closing time (2pm). During this sweltering heat I would suggest having one person waiting in line and your group in the car. Inside seating is limited. You order and pay for your food at the cash register. Service was great, and I understand if staff working outside might be moody because this heat is no joke !Onto food…..Well if you’re looking for authentic green chilaquiles this is not the place. However, I enjoyed the addition of pickled onion and radishes it brings brightness to such a hearty dish . I wish they added more green sauce and cheese . I had to ask for extra cilantro. Also the sauce is not spicy at all, i wish it was but that’s based on personal preference. My dulce de leche iced coffee was delicious! Milky and sweet . Everyone in my group enjoyed their food . Overall a good experience. Willing to try again .

We waited outside for a while before we placed our order with the cashier. I Ordered egg white veggie scramble and got an omelet instead. It came with hash browns and toast with jam. I absolutely loved the food.

Atmosphere is cute - especially the outdoor dining options. You have to order first before getting seated at a table, so definitely take a look at the menu before you get there to get an idea of what you want to get.Food was great. Would highly recommend. We ordered one of their benedicts, pancakes and yogurt bowl. My cousin ordered their avocado toasts. Portions are good. From ordering to getting the food, it was pretty quick.

Its a great place, food is fantastic and I highly recommend it but if you want to eat and catch up with friends, do it fast because you only get 1 hour and it feels like they are rushing you out because they have a line waiting. Once they didnt allow us to order mimosas because we had been there too long and had finished our food...yesterday, I planned to meet with a client there, eat and discuss business but we felt uncomfortable once we finished our meal because staff kept staring at us. We were uncomfortable and left at the hour mark. Ordered the Avocado Toast and the Oatmeal, both delicious. I hear the steak and eggs are fantastic.

The line was crazy long but surprisingly our party of three was sat in less than 25 mins. Turns out you order your food with the hostess/cashier before you sit at your table. The prices here are very fair for the quality and portions of food you receive. I got the classic breakfast and it was pretty good! One problem was I asked for over medium and my egg whites were undercooked. My hash browns came out like mashed potatoes (which is simply a personal pet peeve of mine with hash browns) so I wasn’t a fan, but my friend liked them a lot. The fruit was super fresh and my bacon was thick cut and cooked to perfection! The sangrias were really good! I asked the cashier if they did pitchers and they said no, they only sold by the glass. I was disappointed to find out later on from a server that they had some type of bottomless deal, I wish the cashier would have offered this as an option after telling me they don’t have pitchers. The dulce de leche coffee I got was phenomenal! My friend ordered a matcha coffee and she really enjoyed it. I wish they had other nondairy options besides oat milk, but at least they have something. My friend and her daughter enjoyed their food as well, which came included french toast. Servers and other workers were all incredibly nice and approachable. I love the yellow colors everywhere, the ambiance is laid back and inviting. We didn’t wait long at all to be seated, order, receive our food and pay the bill. I will definitely be back again and again.
