What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"This spot is a hidden gem in Glen Park! I come here often and always enjoy the cozy vibe. It’s a local favorite, so it does get busy on weekends. The crêpes are delicious—my go-to is the strawberry banana Nutella, perfectly balanced to satisfy a sweet tooth without being overly sugary. The owner, who also does the cooking, is incredibly kind and welcoming. The coffee is great too, and the ambiance makes it a lovely place to relax. Conveniently, it’s just a 5-minute walk from the Glen Park BART. They accept both cash and Venmo."
"This croissant French toast was amazing crispy on the outside, soft and buttery inside. The fresh strawberries and whipped cream made it even better. Super tasty and a great twist on the classic. Would totally order again."
"The food, AMAZING. The Nutella crepe was really light and fluffy tasting and I wouldn’t consider it as an overpowering sweetness. The decor was really cute really gave a vintage vibe. The wait was kind of long (15-20 min)but not really considering there were two workers. (I think everyone was talking about 1 person cooking all the food and 1 person serving the food and helping out in the kitchen, and yes the cook is really old, very impressive)"
"I was told this is a solo operation, although he has gotten it down to a nice rhythm. He manages his business well enough for one person. I had expected long wait times and stacks of dishes, but just a stack. Because it's a solo business, expect empty condiments and longer wait times, but he is responsive and well aware of his surroundings. I ordered the simple Italian and I enjoyed it. If I was to say one bad thing about his operation is handling money and food at the same time. He does use tongs, so surprisingly is the best word to describe his business."
""hole in the wall" type of place, one man show with food made with love... you can tell it is special. delicious and thoughtfully made and just really really great. definitely want to go back and bring folks i love!"
"The kind of place you just don't see anymore. A true one man show. Came on a Thursday morning for a late breakfast - you order up front with the only guy..."
