The English muffin with egg, cheese, and bacon was delicious. Had a berry smoothie and there was a lot of separation ice at the top sugar at the bottom. It can be improved. Otherwise delicious food!

Today I had my lunch here.. Staffs were very polite and friendly!! Not much variety, but I like the food!! I could see the entire weeks menu, that is a good idea, you know the menu in advance, you can plan in advance!! One more point, This is a CASH only shop!! But there is an ATM within the shop, Incase if you need to pay the bill, you can withdraw cash here . Cheap, Less crowd, very calm. I enjoyed eating here!!!

Can’t believe a place like this exists—fresh, delicious, and so affordable; with a view as the cherry on top. We enjoyed a hearty breakfast skillet with avocado, a yogurt parfait, biscuits and gravy, and coffee, all for just $21. The quality was excellent, and the staff made us feel completely at home. The bay view was the perfect backdrop to watch the weather roll through before heading back to our plans. A hidden gem and an absolute must for a quick bite.

This a cute and friendly cafe in Harborview Plaza and it’s perfect for a quick breakfast or lunch. I highly recommend the Tuscan sandwich and their parfaits are amazing, they use REAL yogurt. You should stop by and watch for dolphins in the Harbor if you haven’t yet.
