Such a sweet cashier she was so nice even though there were so many people. The avocado toast was sooo good and tasty very flavorful. Great spot! We went around 12:45pm on a Wednesday and found a table right away for 2.

Found this spot after a long morning hiking. So glad the had outdoor seating as I had my dog with me and I got to have him with me as we ate our meals. I had the wet brisket burrito and though it was good I feel the sauce masked the flavors of the ingredients inside the burrito. I would definitely come back though.

The atmosphere and staff were excellent, and then on top of that the food is so yummy. We went for weekend brunch, and it is now our favorite spot!!!! If you haven't tried it, GO!

You gotta be craving that extra yummy brunch do you want to go here. I would not consider this year every day sort of breakfast spot. All of the portions are extremely big. The food is really tasty and they have their own hot sauce as well. I honestly recommend getting the burrito or croquet Madame. Every single pastry item is amazing, I wish they were slightly cheaper and I would buy one of everything.

Your food has been so consistently outstanding that I’ve practically given up cooking at home. We, the people of San Fernando, are now happily at the mercy of your hospitality and your awesomeness. The chocolate cookies were a small wonder, bending the rules of baking with a texture both tenderly chewy and delicately crisp—an edible paradox. Thank you and keep up the good work!!

I've passed this place so many times. They used to have a menu board with the most amazing looking chicken sandwich. I finally tried it recently and it did not disappoint! From the slaw, to the sauce, to the level of heat, this chicken sandwich was on point! A nice sized serving with delicious fries on the side. I will absolutely be returning when I'm back in the area! The staff was very kind as my friend and I were there past their early afternoon closing time and they very gently asked for the couple items they needed from the table but made us welcome to continue sitting and finish our conversation. A+

After a massage next door I decided to try this bakery and was hoping to get a pastry as I was on a roll with treating myself after the massage. This location is central and in the middle of a section of Ventura Blvd with a lot of other services, so the location is great Its spacious inside with several tables on the sidewalk which were shaded. There was a pickup area and it looked busy. I had their coffee from a fresh batch which was excellent. The service was quick and I thought the prices looked reasonable. I didn't have a full breakfast but look forward to doing that sometime soon.
