What People Are Saying
from Google"I've been wanting to try this cafe for awhile now and I am so glad I stopped in today!! Great late breakfast, eggs were perfect to what we ordered and everything else was fresh and tasty. Really enjoyed the potatoes and biscuits and gravy! Our server was so friendly and the other folks that stopped in were cheerful. We will certainly be back again soon. :-)"
"Great little local breakfast in Aztec! All of the food my group got, which was a mix of savory and sweet breakfast dishes, was delicious - well seasoned, balanced flavors, good portion sizes. House-made bread and muffins, and several vegetarian options which is hard to find in this area! I’m pretty new to Aztec and I’m so happy to have found a spot like this here - will be back!"
"How did we not try this sooner? You can’t really call this cafe a hidden gem since it’s right on the corner of Main St. and Chaco in Aztec, but it is definitely a gem. We have driven by so many times and have never stopped in. It wasn’t until recently we noticed they were temporarily closed for a remodel so we made it a point to visit once they reopened. We stopped by today after church. You can’t tell from the outside but once we stepped inside they were busy! Thankfully there were a couple of tables available so we were able to get seated right away. The nice young lady who greeted us let us let us know it would be a couple of minutes for coffee as they were finishing up brewing a fresh batch. Within a couple of minutes we had a hot mug of delicious coffee in our hands, and I mean MUG, not a tiny little 8 ounce coffee cup. My husband ordered the breakfast bowl which came with deliciously seasoned potatoes, eggs, bacon/sausage, and cheese. I ordered the loaded biscuits and gravy which came with the most perfectly fluffy biscuits, amazing homemade sausage gravy, loaded with bacon, eggs, and cheese. My plate was so huge I left completely stuffed , my husband had to help me finish. We will definitely be back, I’m already looking forward to it. Highly recommend!"
"Ordered two sandwiches, cost me $30+ tip and waited 30 mins for a sandwich that was supposed to be Turkey, bacon, avacado, black bean! It was grilled never asked for that, maybe one slice of processed Turkey one slice of bacon all cut in little bits and an avacado spread! Not real avacados like menu suggests! If I wanted wheat toast I would have made it myself, because that was all it tasted like! Disgusting!!! Neither sandwiches were served with cheese or on the correct bread! If you don’t have what’s on your menu then give the customer a chance to change their order! The black bean spread was NOT spicy and both sandwiches were served on thinly sliced wheat bread not what the menu said! Very disappointing and will not be coming back!"
"Customer service, food and atmosphere was great. Placed an order to go via text and got it within 15 min. Ordered the Mystic Creation and Prickly Bird. Definitely want to try some other items out. Would recommend."
