Overall, I had a really enjoyable visit. The breakfast tacos were full of flavor and absolutely worth ordering. I would suggest getting them with a double tortilla to keep everything together, which would make them even better. The experience was relaxed and comfortable, and the food definitely stood out. One small tip would be to skip the tap water and go for another drink option. Despite a few minor things, I would still happily come back and recommend this place for a tasty breakfast and a pleasant atmosphere.

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

One of my sister’s coworker dropped by and after some time catching up, we decided to go out to grab a bite here. Unfortunately it was too late to order beignets, so we had moved onto the other items on the menu. I opted for the updated version of the tuna melt…. Instead it was chicken salad, which surprisingly was tasty and moist. Of course I was forced to sample everyone else’s food and the chicken pot pie was creamy and savory. It was topped by a flaky buttery pastry that melted in my mouth. I only sampled the sauce for the BBQ burger and it was delicious. Lastly the French toast with cherries was a great surprise. Maria was our server and was prompt and professional. Great food experience!

First time visiting after hearing rave reviews, we decided to have a celebratory brunch after my daughter's graduation. It had to be something different but not necessarily expensive just quality. Boy! Did Benedict's La Strata deliver... 💯 % absolutely! It was almost too hard to decide on what to order because everything sounded different and delicious 😋. So everyone had to agree to share at least 1 bite of their dish LOL! I had the pear pomegranate French toast which was as good as it sounds! It was sweet and the pears tasted like they were slow cooked in just a little bit of cinnamon...OMG..Yes please! My daughter had the lemon zest pancakes. That was a fight combo of sweet raspberry and sour lemon to create this one of a kind flavor explosion!
