First time here and I brought my mom. Food was tasty. It was nice and hot when the food came. Mary our server was amazing. She was smiling when we walked in and smiling when we went out. The ambience was beautiful. Good food good vibes.

This was the smallest breakfast burrito I've ever had. They only allow you 3 ingredients. The burrito was like a fat egg roll not a burrito. Not worth the price. I only gave yall a try because your ad on IG. People work hard for our money give us what we pay for. So disappointed in the build your burrito.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐If you’re ever in Compton and looking for a good breakfast spot, this place is a must-visit! The food is fresh, flavorful, and made with love. The pancakes are fluffy, the eggs are cooked to perfection, and the coffee is always hot. The staff makes you feel right at home with their friendly service and welcoming vibe. It’s the kind of place where you can enjoy a good meal, good conversation, and leave with a smile on your face. Definitely my new go-to breakfast spot in the city!

Incredibly friendly and attentive staff. Loved the look and feel of the restaurant. Music was good and food was amazing. Let us sample their signature cake and it was so good I had to take the whole slice home. Shout out to the staff for giving us a free sample of the chicken I am definately coming back for a plate 🍽
