That service had a name: Kat. Our waitress was, without question, the highlight of the entire experience. Attentive without being overbearing, she had an almost uncanny ability to anticipate our needs before we even realized we had them. Refills, the check, you name it. She was simply on point for the entire meal, and you could tell it wasn’t just professionalism. She genuinely seemed happy to be there and to be taking care of us. That kind of energy is rare and it absolutely elevates a meal.
Now, the food and drinks. My wife started with the Purple Haze, a refreshing blend of lemon, cane sugar, butterfly pea flower tea, and a hint of lavender. It was not overly sweet, with a nice tartness that made it a perfect morning sip. I went with the Barbacoa Breakfast Tacos, three wheat-corn tortillas loaded with seasoned braised beef barbacoa, scrambled cage-free eggs, melted Cheddar and Monterey Jack, lime crema, Cotija cheese, house made Pico de Gallo, fresh avocado, and scallions, and swapped the spiced black beans for hashbrowns. These tacos did not disappoint. The barbacoa was beautifully seasoned, the avocado added a lovely creaminess to every bite, and they did not skimp on fillings. These were packed. The hashbrowns were exactly what hashbrowns should be: crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and seasoned well throughout. I also ordered a side of the Million Dollar Bacon out of pure curiosity, four slices of hardwood smoked bacon glazed with brown sugar, black pepper, cayenne, and a drizzle of syrup. Sweet up front with a satisfying backend heat from the cayenne. A fun breakfast appetizer to share, though I’d keep it as a bonus rather than replacing an actual side.
My wife ordered the Farmhouse Hash, which came out in a generous portion, so much so that she brought half of it home. The eggs were fluffy and perfectly cooked, and the hash was well seasoned throughout. The one minor hiccup was that the dish appeared to be missing the cheese when it arrived. We mentioned it to Kat, and without a single moment of hesitation or debate, she had a new one brought out and offered a takeout container for the original. No fuss, no pushback, just the right thing done immediately. That kind of responsive, no-nonsense service is surprisingly hard to find these days.
We’re already planning our next visit, and when we go back, we’ll absolutely be asking for Kat.
