I gave it a 3 star because I only enjoyed my hookah, service was just slow and waitress forgot her personality at home. I ordered 2 orders of bistec encebollado and it was solid as a rock And it didn’t taste like bistec .

Delicious food and great service. Fresh squeezed OJ and juice is awesome. I had the breakfast dish with some awesome buttermilk pancakes and some absolutely well cooked homefries. Everything was fresh and filling.

Excellent . I would def say it’s worth going. Food isn’t salty or full of oil. If you think the prices are high which (i don’t think so at all) then go to those cheap Dominican, cafeterias around where you will get salty and oily food for cheap and the food will sit in your stomach for hours. Portion size is great not too big or small. I hate it when they give me this outrageous portion sizes. The presentation is great. They are def trying to go a bit more upscale and I love it . The place itself is decorated beautifully (not your usual Dominican, cafeteria style ). I have to say the coffee is good. The lady at the counter needs to be a tad more friendly. Overall, I liked this place I would go back.

We walked in, as a party of 10, before 1pm on a Friday. Walked out about 3:15. They werent too busy. One table of about 8 sitting. It took quite a while to get any waters and when we did, they were only brought for half the table, excluding the children completely and it wasnt until I stood up and said something that they actually came. When ordering wings, we were not informed of them being out of a requested sauce until after the wings came and even then had to request multiple times before we were told they were out. The server didnt come by the table again after we spoke and shared our frustration about that. And to top it all off, we were charged for the sauce that they were out of when we hunted down our bill. By that point we gave up. Ultimately it was extremely slow, poorly managed and very misleading. It was not a bakery. It had no pizza like it advertised outside. The food was decent but not worth everything else. Will not return.

Pretty poor experience here. We walked in, half the items that were on the menu were not available as they had run out. They also ran out of coffee, which at 945 am, was a big surprise for us. Order also came after a long wait despite ordering only 2 dishes. Overall, would not recommend.

The service was slow and they were unable to make any hot beverages. We visited during mid afternoon, and despite a relatively empty building we waited forever for our food. The server was nice though.

Summary. Bakery, cafe, breakfast: 0 (zero) stars; American lunch 2 stars; spanish food: Not reviewed.Details. In the 6 months since I reviewed this place last time it has changed completely! It is not a bakery or a cafe. There are no pastries, only a few American style breakfasts on the menu and the coffee is more European than American. I dont actually know what wants to be. The menu is mostly Spanish style dishes and they are reviewed by others. I did try the Cuban sandwich and it was not inspiring. Pork was OK, but contained several pieces of gristle. The ham was OK, but was only one paper thin slice. Cheese was just OK. Bread was a bun toasted like a Panini so it tasted more like a cracker. Coffee was very strong. Probably espresso with only a little water added. Similar to what you get in Europe if you order coffee american. It was serve in a very small cup that did not retain the heat. So it was cold by the end of the meal. I did not ask about a refill.If you are looking for an american breakfast or a pastry, there are much better places. If you are looking for Spanish food, please read the other reviews.

I ordered breakfast here for the first time. What a terrible experience. The only good thing they had was the juice. They didn’t even have butter!! Nor did they toast the bread. They didn’t even have ketchup. Super gross never again !!!

First, my order came to $10.79 after tax. She took my $20 and gave me $9 change.Second, my order took far too long for an empty restaurant at 1pm on a Saturday.Finally, I didnt get what I ordered, and the French fries were completely unseasoned.The couple that ordered immediately after I did, cancelled their order as I got my food, frustrated with the long wait and lack of coffee (despite a fancy machine and 1 of 3 menu boards dedicated to coffee drinks).

The one and only time i went to have breakfast was horrible. Mangu was hard, eggs were rubbery, salami was nasty, everything was not fresh, it felt like it was warmed in a microwave. Worst experience, Im not going back. Was it sad is that is a nice place with great ideas, just poor execution. Wont go back.

Review №26

This place should be embarrassed to be in service. The food took forever to come out, and it was just 2 eggs, homefries, bacon, and toast. And one omelet. Ok lets start with eggs done wrong, the toast was stale without butter. And the omelet had no taste how do you mess up an all American breakfast Even the coffee was gross. Did not taste fresh or Spanish. People want what they pay for. But it looks like they are charging for the decor. Not worth our hard earned money.. Honestly go to McDonalds down the street.

Felt like I was taking crazy pills. Not clear what this place is. It may look like a french cafe but they mostly serve very poor quality Dominican and mexican food, have a full bar, and appears to be a night club at night. service and food are terrible, overall a very confusing and upsetting experience.

I originally held off going to this place because the prices seem pretty high for the neighborhood its in. Im glad I finally went though. The place is very clean, wait staff pleasant, nice new bathrooms, etc. The food was tasty and portions were good size. Coffee was also very good.

I went on a Saturday morning around 9-930. I ordered food off the menu and paid and its after I pay that the lady tells me the food wont be ready and she doesnt know how long. I wasnt in a rush but I had somewhere to go. They returned my money and everything was fine. So I returned the next day on a Sunday at 10-10:30am. I walk in the door and go to the counter and the 2 waitresses pretty much ignored me for 10min before taking my order when they felt they were ready. Which is no problem until again the same food was not ready. Also the waitress told me the one egg sandwich I ordered instead of what I originally wanted will take 15min to make! And she only told me that after me asking. Then tried to tell me this place wasnt a fast food restaurant. I dont know any place ever who takes 15min to make an egg sandwich with premade bacon. On top of that when I tried to order what I originally wanted from their menu they wouldnt even exchange a side for freaking bread. Which would be cheaper then what I order and they were telling me they couldnt help. So I asked for my money back and they were so desperate to keep my money that they gave me a sloppy sandwich that also wasnt what I ordered. So then I had to go back inside for them to fix it and the food wasnt even good. Nor was the food portion decent. A large bread with one tiny egg and one slice of deli meat isnt worth almost $7. Dont waste your money here or time. The chief doesnt have his properties straight.

If I could give this place zero stars I would! We waited over an hour for 4 sandwiches and there were only 5 other people in the entire place! I ordered the tomato mozzarella basil sandwich and it came out with no tomato. When I told them, they said, “oh you wanted tomato on it?” There was a total language barrier and when we told them the steak and cheese was cold and over cooked, the said, “ I know I’m sorry.” But didn’t take it off the bill. It’s loke they had no idea what we were saying. When I told the waitress we were ready to order some sandwiches, she said, “ok, 4 sandwiches” and tired to walk away. She had no idea what I was talking about. I had to try to explain that we wanted four different sandwiches. I also ordered chicken tenders for my one year old as soon as we sat and it took 35 minutes for the worst chicken tenders I have ever eaten. When my mom asked for mayo, they brought her yogurt in a black plastic cup that looked like it came from someone else already eaten plate! It was disgusting! It was legit half filled and looked like someone had already eaten from it! It was the worst dining experience I have ever encountered. I am not a picky eater and I have a lot of patience but this was ridiculous. When we asked how much longer, they just kept saying, “two minutes, I’m sorry” over and over again. There were legit FIVE other people! The place was dead! Now that we think about it, it seemed like a front for something else. It was almost like they thought we were crazy for even asking to order food. It was absolutely bizarre.

Visited today for the first time very nice atmosphere; quite a few people in. But the wait was very long for just a club sandwich few people complaining about the same thing. While I was in. It would be more efficient if they came to the table and took orders. But overall the sandwich was delicious and the smoothies even better!!

Very good food. The burger taste like fresh burger and not a party. I uploaded a photo of the caramel Macchiato with whipped cream I really enjoyed so much that I ordered another. We had the hard shell Taco and Park View Burger. Next time I come back I will try their New York Stye Hot Dog. Great place and the ladies are really nice. I recommend!!

Food is good, but service sucks! Went there and a server standing at the POS didnt acknowledge us at all. Not even a hi and after 10 mins she came over and handed us the menus only because we asked. It wasnt busy at all so there was no excuse. The owner ( a very nice lady) came over and apologized because our food took an hour.

After searching high and low for a place to get something to eat my friend and I decided to try this place since it looked so nice on the outside. The inside didnt disappoint either. Beautiful, cozy atmosphere. There were a few people catching up with old friends, and someone on a business lunch. They had low tables, high tables and comfy seats.Walking up I was torn with what I wanted. Like most people the prices shocked me. I scanned for something cheaper and found the first breakfast sandwich which had real egg, cheese, ham and bacon. I chose to get it on a croissant. ($5). I also saw they had an iced caramel swirl latte advertised on the menu for $3.49 for a 20 Oz. When I cashed out my total was over $10. When I saw my receipt, I saw they charged me for a latte $3.99 + a flavor syrup 75¢. Yikes! The man at the counter was nice enough to refund me the difference, but I wonder how many people get overcharged for that? Seems the register doesnt match their menu prices, so beware!I liked that they brought our food to us. When my latte came I was surprised at how much sugar was in my cup, when I didnt ask for sugar. To remedy this I asked for a second cup. Much tastier after no sugar in it.My friend said her treats were ok. Im sure Ill be back, there arent too many good coffee spots and clean bathrooms around this part of town. Just make sure to be specific with how you want your coffee, and check your receipt.

Grate addiction to the neighborhood! Bad owners, made it into a nightclub because they were so bad at customer service. Now they overcrowd the neighborhood with there idea of a good place to go. Ten thums down. Aho and they dont serve coffee and they dont bake. They take a long time with service became they order your foods from elsewhere.
