Are you a regular here?

I’ve been here lots of times; I live just down the road. I love the food and they make great coffee. This is a good place to come when your insides don’t match your outsides. Also, there’s a lot of natural light in here so it has an optimistic vibe. I don’t love dungeony breakfast places.

What will you be ordering today?

I usually get the same thing, the migas, but sometimes I get one of the benedicts. You can’t go wrong. They know how to cook an egg here.

What’s up with this big room divider and these inside, second-floor balconies?

This used to be a bank. They say it was held up at some point by Bonnie and Clyde, like in the ‘20s.
