It was my boyfriend and my first time here and everything was awesome! Grace was behind the counter interacting with the customers and Juan was the master behind the grill. The food was incredible and you get a lot of bang for your buck here. The atmosphere was beautiful inside and out, very wholesome and homey, and the music was a very nice touch. Grace had such amazing service though as she was so nice, offered us some extra goodies on the house simply because they could not be sold and would go to waste, and even drew a little chicken character on my smoothie and my boyfriends coffee lid. She was very accommodating to any requests and very friendly and patient. All the stuff you see in the photo we got for $55, not including tip. Overall, amazing brunch spot and we will for sure be back.

Saturday between 9-10am very quiet, parking is tight but if you’re willing to walk you can park in certain residential areas. The young women taking the orders was super chipper and had recommendations for my first time. I loved the French toast. The outdoor seating area is small but adorable. Seems like the perfect local spot to grab a coffee and lunch to read or catch up with a small group or one on one. Definitely will be back as I want to try the biscuits and gravy and the rest of the lunch menu!

I stopped by on Christmas Eve hoping to purchase a cinnamon roll. Unaware that the bakery was closed, silly me, I parked and walked up to the entrance. Noticing a car parked in front and the place being closed, I turned back to return to my car. A woman asked if I needed anything. I explained that I realized they were closed, but she asked what I had been hoping to get. When I mentioned a cinnamon roll, she informed me that she was the owner and she would grab one, and when I offered to pay she kindly declined.
She returned shortly after with two cinnamon rolls, though I asked for one and wished me a Merry Christmas. Her generosity was incredibly thoughtful and truly made my day. I am so grateful! I couldn’t believe I met the face behind the very place I love!
I used to visit this bakery regularly when I lived in Costa Mesa, and it remains one of my favorite spots. It is a charming bakery with exceptional food. I especially love sitting in the garden—both the front and back are beautiful. From the coffee to the baked goods, everything is consistently excellent.

DO NOT ORDER THE CHILAQUILES
THEY WERE 99% CHILI 1% QUILES
I should have known to not order chilaquiles from white people. What was a thinking. We ate the very small amount of actual real food and just threw away the bowl full of chili. This place is super cute and would be great for a date, just do not order the chilaquiles.

. I love the outdoor garden setting is lovey. It reminded me of Alcove cafe in Los Angeles, in the smaller version though, and in Del Mar, there is a cute outdoor cafe shop too My friend ordered Chilaquiles. They were good however chilaquiles were swimming in salsa. It made them mushy/soggy where it ruined the texture of the dish for my friend. Maybe using slightly less sauce so they stay a bit crisp. The outdoor setting is lovely however the music was too loud for a moring breakfast.

Brioche French Toast, pull apart cinnamon roll, so many sweet & delicious food items to select! Staff was so nice! Very helpful. It would have been easy to leave all my money there because everything looked beautiful and tasted delicious! If it hadn’t been raining, we could have sat outside in the pretty garden.

Food is very “homemade” feeling. Cheddar biscuit was exactly what I was looking for. Would return to try some of their other baked goods / pastries.
I wished the biscuit sandwich had some sort of sauce on it. Chipotle mayo or honey hot sauce would be good.

They have the real chilaquiles, not just chips with salsa. Love the pastries!

My husband and I stopped by for lunch on a whim one day and we are so glad that we did! The place smells like buttery pastries and the staff is so friendly. You order at the counter and they have outdoor seating on the front patio and in the charming back garden. There is also a small parking lot in the back.
I had the BLT + avocado sandwich which was amazing. It is served on toasted buttery sourdough bread, with thick chewy bacon slabs and fresh avocado slices. The sandwich is a generous size, more like 2 sandwiches in one. I took half of mine home. It comes with a pickle spear & potato salad which were both delicious. 5/5 stars, would highly recommend a visit!
