Reviews
The food was unreal. The gnocchi was impossibly pillowy and soft, and for total contrast we also ordered the fried chicken. Both were perfection. The cauliflower appetizer deserves a special shoutout. I usually hate cauliflower, but this completely changed my mind. The kale salad was fresh and beautifully balanced. See photos!
Dessert sealed the deal. The pear shortcake was insane, and was pure nostalgia. It instantly reminded me of my dad. We will absolutely be back often. I truly cannot say enough good things, especially knowing this spot is entirely female owned and operated. You can feel the love, intention, and positive energy from every single person on the team. Thank you so much. See you very soon.
The lattes were outstanding. My boyfriend had the matcha latte with rose-cardamom syrup, which turned out to be one of the best flavor combinations we’ve ever tried. The golden milk turmeric latte was equally delicious. For food, we tried the jalapeño duck & bacon sausage, crab cakes Benedict, ricotta toast, and shakshuka. Unfortunately, the gravy was unavailable, so we couldn’t try the sausage bowl, but that’s just another reason to return. The standout dish was definitely the jalapeño duck & bacon sausage — flavorful and a real winner. The crab cakes were also impressive; you could really taste the freshness of the crab meat. The ricotta toast was a unique breakfast item, but it was surprisingly delicious. The shakshuka, while good, wasn’t quite as memorable as the other dishes.
Service:
Excellent and attentive service. The food did take a little while to arrive, but it’s understandable given the small kitchen, and the wait was definitely worth it.
Ambiance:
A charming, cozy spot right next to Sunset Cliffs. Parking is limited unless you’re willing to pay, but the location is worth it. Dogs are welcome outside, which is a nice touch.
