We were looking for something different and found this gem! Biscuits and gravy were great! Got there in time to order from both breakfast and lunch. Pork skewers were so good and the lumpia is a must try!

Excellent café with friendly and attentive staff. The menu offers a nice variety of food (including vegetarian options) that is appropriately priced. The food was delicious, using fresh ingredients that tasted like we were eating in a much-loved home kitchen. Can't wait to go back!

I came here for lunch with my nephews and mom and we all loved the food. The food was fresh and came out pretty quickly. Service was perfect. l really appreciate that they were willing to accommodate us by swapping the fries for rice in the kids meals eating out with kids is hard because they can be picky eaters, so this was very helpful. Sadly our holiday break is coming to an end so we won’t be able to visit again until spring break or summer, but we’ll definitely be back when we can!

A hidden gem in Santa Clara! The atmosphere is modern but very cozy. The staff was extremely friendly and gave great recommendations on food and coffee. Feeling like you need a little pick me up? The coffee is a must. Very good quality coffee. And the food taste like something that comes out of mom’s kitchen. Will definitely will be coming back!
