My wife and I have been coming here for just over 10 years now and it never disappoints!

The food was great! Totally enjoyed the breakfast. Seems there's something on the menu to make everyone happy. We got the chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, breakfast ramen (the soup was very original/unique and the noodles were great), and the kids had the chocolate chip pancakes. All were delicious. I also appreciated their seasonal menu and enjoyed the coquito latte. We read some of the books on the shelves while waiting for our food, enjoyed the ambiance and friendly service. Will definitely be back!

I?ve been going here for years and the service is just truly on the decline. Some of the food is great (pancakes, some sandwiches), the coffee is always great BUT the food wait times are out of control. Today we waited just shy of an hour for aburger and eggs. No apology or anything and no one ever checked on us. All the tables around us were having the same issues.Honestly if the food is going to take that long they should bring our bread or pastries or something.

I LOVE Red Eye but I really wish they?d offer some UNSWEETENED alternative milks for coffee. Let me put the sugar in it if I want it. I don?t think their customers are realizing how much sugar is in the coffee drinks their drinking. Unsweetened almond,soy, oat and coconut are readily available. (Oh and please offer Coconut milk as well). Give us the choice. Let us decidewhether we want sugar in our coffee or not.
