A gem of a cafe. Hidden but worthy of discovery. Lovely garden outdoor setting. Yummy sandwich and cappuccino. Highly recommended. Rima, the owner is very hospitable. A gem of a cafe. Plenty of free parking.

Amazing, delicious… Absolutely fantastic! Strong Americano, delicious sandwich, super fast service, and a completely outdoor dining area filled with green, trees, and a water feature… And the prices are outstanding, if I lived nearby, I’d be a VERY regular customer

What a peaceful spot! Lovely shaded patio with little palm trees and a fountain. The latte was very good and cheaper than corporate chains. If I lived around here I would be a regular. I will definitely come back when I can.

Park in rear where there are several spaces reserved for cafe patrons. Or park in front of the Hacienda Del Mar building and walk through the beautiful gardens of its inner courtyard. Great visual location to visit and then relax at this wonderful cafe out back.

A real hidden gem. Perfect space for a relaxing breakfast or lunch . Quiet music and the sound of the water dripping from the fountain make you want to stay there. Delicious panini and coffee. Will be back to try more .

Fast and friendly service with consistently good food. This spot has become one of my go-tos. I really enjoy the bacon breakfast burrito, and the paninis and flatbreads are always delicious. The salads are a great healthy option, and I often turn them into a wrap when I want something quick. Online ordering is easy, and with plenty of parking, it’s a convenient stop for breakfast or lunch. Highly recommend.
