What Dixie Purdy doesn't like about El Cafe Real:

Ridicully expensive. their average 2 eggs, 2 slices speck, and hashbrowns costs $13 and drip coffee costs $5. most caffes offer this item at $10 or $3.

Nice coffee shop, part of a hotel,so a bit on the pricier side. Their Avocado toast was great and they have plenty of outdoors seating
