The menu is not that extensive but the taste is good. They have good vegetarian dishes here. This place helps former gang members to get out of it and get a better life. If you want to support their cause, then it's worth checking this place out.

I arrived around 1:00 PM on a weekday, so there still was a good lunch crowd but plenty of empty tables. I found it odd to hear a greeter asking patrons "are you here to eat" and I was asked the same thing. What else does one do at a restaurant? Did I miss something, like maybe they have a secret "drop-the-soap-in-the shower" room? (Sorry, I couldn't help myself.) Anyhow, I did wait for a few minutes to be greeted and seated. It seemed like there was some type of musical chairs going on because two women were at the table where I was being seated and the greeter ushered them to another table (maybe they were waiting for a booth to open and they want single patrons at the two-person tables only). The man who seated me was pleasant and polite, but it was odd he was seating me and re-seating them at the same time. I was already familiar with the menu (having studied it online beforehand), so I was disappointed to find they were sold out of the mango beverage but enjoyed the green beverage (Angela's Potion, $4). I ordered the veggie grilled cheese ($11) and the waiter forgot what dressing I wanted for my salad, so he brought two kinds on the side which was cool. I used the avocado dressing for the salad the lemon dressing as a "dipping sauce" for my sandwich. I don't know if they only have one type of bread, but presumed as much since he didn't ask "what type of bread do you want?" I did ask if the jalapeno pesto "is spicy," which I am now learning is a dumb question to ask of anyone as our tastes can vary greatly. Next time I will order it on the side because it does have some bite. It had more bite than I would have wanted, but it did not ruin the sandwich. Unfortunately, the sandwich was soggy, which I wasn't too thrilled about, but to be expected when using fresh veggies on a sandwich. By the time I got to the second half, it was too wet and messy to pick up, so I asked for a knife and everything was fine. The server said he eats their sandwiches wearing gloves, which I got a kick out of. As it was I had several napkins as a bib so as not to soil my anti-Trump "resist" T-shirt. Even with gloves, this sandwich would just make a mess of one's clothes, so be forewarned. Despite the sogginess, I can honestly say this is the best-tasting and most creative grilled cheese sandwich I have ever had, and it was huge! The accompanying salad was not huge, but a decent size and it wasn't any Mickey Mouse salad, but one with nutritional and tasty European greens and some other stuff, I think maybe shredded jicama, but don't quote me. The dessert was rather disappointing. I believe what I had was the mango upside-down cake; however, the bill says "Brunch Mango." When I ordered, the server insisted I have ice cream with it and since he had five teardrop tattoos under his eye, who was I to argue with him? (Just kidding, he was very clean-cut actually.) The cake was odd because one portion of it was kinda dry and not too sweet (which is my preference [the not too sweet part]) and then another portion of the same piece was very sugary. Every portion of the small piece was different. I am not a baker so have no clue how that would happen, whether it is just the nature of upside-down cake (like the ingredients didn't mix well or what). When the server inquired about it, I told him what I thought and he said something like "You're supposed to mash it all up with the ice cream" and I was thinking "Now you tell me." Since I was hedging on the ice cream, he only brought a small scoop, so maybe next time I will get it as intended and mash it all up. I have a feeling the recipe for this cake must have come out of "Orange is the New Black" or "Prison Break," and that is not a compliment, especially at a price of $7. Hopefully, on my next visit, they will have a different dessert OR the current one will be made different OR I will have a server demonstrate how it is to be properly consumed.

Wow. Wow, wow, wow! This place is awesome! I get their chips and mango salsa (bring back the Mango salsa!) at the grocery store all the time. Then someone told me that there was a cafe, so I had to check it out. I am glad I did. Got here for breakfast. Nice variety, knowledgeable staff and fresh baked goodies! Reasonable prices, clean and quiet. Who could ask for more?

Correct your hours. Not the city I like to drive out of my way to find a closed building attempting to be a business.
