The effort and customer service you put into the location, food, and clientele MATTERS. Horrible experience in the el centro location not recommended. I said good morning and was not responded too, and my crepe was raw (I know what raw batter taste like. Didn’t eat, didn’t tip, Starbucks for breakfast it is. And I’m not a fan of Starbucks nor do l recommended it over locals cafes but much better than
experiencing horrible customer service. Took 30 min to get service and another 30 to get the tab. I wasn’t even told I had to pay in the front, if that’s a requirement at a restaurant that’s fine but the waitress lets you know which she did not.

If you want special coffee and desserts this is a great place. My strawberry and cream was delicious ( there was something special in it). Hope sweet was excellent. Everyone in my party loved the croissant sandwich. ( I was sad I was still full from lunch- wish I had 2 stomachs ) Very cool atmosphere

I really like the calm atmosphere. It’s always quiet, and customer service is always good. I love the food, always so yummy and looks very appealing. If you are into the aesthetic vibes and esthetically pleasing food, this is definitely your place to go! Highly recommend ♡

A friend and I wanted to try this place to support a local business, so we look up the hours of operation and it says it closes at 9pm. Cool, we get there at 8 pm, an hour early. We seat ourselves, get to chatting – 15 whole minutes pass and no one comes up to us to see if we need anything. We were having a good conversation so neither of us stood up to go find staff either – we just figured they’d eventually get to us. About 20 mins later, a woman walks past us, looks at me and my friend and frowns, bluntly (somewhat rudely) tells us “We’re closed.” I roll my eyes because this is very stereotypical bad customer service that Imperial Valley is well known for, so just beware if you plan on coming here.

Honestly the best hot chocolate I have ever had. I haven’t been to the other locations but as a first time goerr I enjoyed picking the themed room I wanted to have brunch in. The crepes are more pancake like which I enjoyed. the celestial was my favorite.

I liked the variety of their menu. Usually I tested sweet food but this time I tried Poblana Crepe, was amazing. A friend ordered divorced chilaquiles with eggs and chicken and look big and tasty . We loved the peaceful atmosphere and good service. Also, they had a free cookies! I like to go with friends or for get some homework done

It could have been really beautiful but I didn’t appreciate the water I was added to my food. It was unnecessary. Other than that, for a normal person or anybody else besides me, you’re going to really really like it. It was quite amazing. In fact, I might change the stars

Came here to try the chilaquiles and my wife ordered the crepes. The crepes were decent, the chilaquiles tasted ok as well. Didn’t give me that fresh made chilaquiles taste more like a thrown together with canned sauce and chips. It was nicely decorated but I don’t think we will be coming back.

I don’t know why people give this place bad reviews. I absolutely love this place. I like the atmosphere and the food is delicious. Now some people mentioned the Chilaquiles, they were great! This place is made to order and the server’s have a lot of people to tend to when I’m there. This isn’t Denny’s, and if that’s what you want then you’re at the wrong place.
Now, the Chilaquiles were delicious and they are different then how I make it. And the Lemonade is so good. My mom and sister had coffee de la olla. They also had crepes. The servings are big, but it’s so good and we all shared some of our dishes with each other. Love this cute place.
