The restaurant has new owners, but the menu remains the same, featuring delicious fresh ingredients. Their house-made salsa and Hollandaise sauce were fantastic. I ordered my usual polenta spinach eggs, which were even better than usual this time. My husband tried the chorizo omelette, and they have a new chorizo that is absolutely delicious. My son enjoyed the Mickey pancakes, especially the chocolate chip eyes. Jesus, the owner, is very laid-back and attentive, and I love dining on the outdoor terrace to enjoy the fresh air. After our meal, we usually take a walk along the beautiful path over the aquifer, near the primary school.

I thoroughly enjoyed building my own omelet, and the service was outstanding. I deducted one star due to the small tables. However, I recently noticed that the booths are now larger and they offer outdoor seating in the back, which is a nice improvement. I had the steak and eggs, and they were fantastic. My wife and daughter ordered the French toast and a fruit bowl. Unfortunately, I have to take off another star because the orange juice tasted as if it was filtered through cardboard.

Had the most amazing breakfast from here on the other day. We ordered takeout and they delivered to our picnic table at Heart of Soquel plaza. The food was amazing!

Absolutely the best French Dip! I skipped breakfast just to indulge in it. The restaurant has a nice, welcoming atmosphere, and the staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. I can't wait to return and explore the rest of the menu!

Food and service were both phenomenal! This place should have a line around the block. 1st time here. Definitely coming back.
