I came in on Saturday around noon. Nice, small place. It seemed extremely busy, I think because they had a large group. The server was nice. He brought out biscuits that were crumbly and melted in my mouth. I ordered the Croque Monsieur, which was delicious and not greasy. The food took a very long time, but I genuinely think it was because they had a big group.

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.

This place was phenomenal! We were searching for a restaurant to eat brunch at & this one caught our eye & I’m so glad we went! The service was amazing from start to finish. Everything is made as you order it & you can taste the love poured into to it. The owner/chef also came to talk to us which I thought was lovely. You can see how much work she’s put into her business. All in all, the food was amazing & the people were lovely. I can’t wait to go back to try other dishes!

Very cute & small restaurant! The biscuits that they give as you wait are so soft & warm. The meals themselves were very filling & the chef is super friendly! Would definitely come again or bring friends who are visiting the RGV *Pics are a bit old, but the atmosphere is still very nice!
