One of the best restaurants in San Carlos. Their Maple Burger with a side of house chili oil (salsa macha) is hard to beat! They even have WiFi if requested! Upstairs is a nice view of the ocean too. Prices are reasonable. Also, had a mocha iced latte w almond milk and extra expresso, and it was good too!

Anyone can make fancy food good, but if you can make scrambled eggs, hash browns and sour dough toast fabulous, you've got my vote! WOW they didn't overcook my scrambled eggs. The hash browns are in a patty, which I thought was weird, but they are great! But the sourdough toast is on another level of scrumptious! It is honestly the best sourdough bread I have ever eaten, and I have tried sourdough all over the US and a few places in MX. My SO had the Salmon toast and he loved every bite too. He also ranks the coffee very good! Emilio is a wonderful waiter! Just be cautious with the chili oil, very hot! Our new favorite brunch spot. Upbeat decor, inside and outdoor seating.

This is a nice place to eat, a smaller place in a strip mall. Upon paying, i hand the lady at the register 205 pesos for a 155 peso tab. She reacts as if the remaining 50 pesos is a tip. Don’t do that, it’s rude and greedy, I didn’t appreciate the attitude.

Amazing brunch and coffee spot in San Carlos. Coffee was so good and every meal we had was delicious and cooked well. We frequented this place most mornings of the trip and couldn’t recommend it more.
