We stopped here unexpectedly as we were in the area and wanted something to munch on. Their avocado toast was really tasty with in-house baked focaccia bread (it had a lovely delicate flavor) and we got a slice of their pizza lab of the week which was amazingly delicious! It was the vegetarian corn and bok choy one. Really creative and the server was really friendly and helpful

I ordered a pepperoni pizza with hot honey and it was absolutely delicious! They make their pizzas fresh to order in a hot pizza oven, no soggy bottom pizzas here! The crust was thin and crisp, perfect for folding and eating with gusto. I highly recommend their pizzas! My wife and mother-in-law ordered sandwiches, which they make with house-made focaccia bread. They described their sandwiches as being "yummy" and "tasty". The restaurant is pretty small, but they've got plenty of outdoor seating out back, with shade. They've also got a collection of board games in the back which were fun to play with while we waited for our food. All in all, a fantastic cafe to grab a sandwich, pastry, or pizza. I highly recommend it!

Overall, the breakfast sandwich was good, and I liked that they offered tea lattes for their loose leaf selection! It's a cute store with places to work. Only negative was that they forgot the breakfast sandwich order ahead of ours, and in fixing that mistake they then forgot about ours, leading us to wait about 20 minutes before getting our sandwiches (after asking.) But! They were very apologetic and gave a refund without us asking, so really a net neutral on that, and probably would be a positive if we weren't in a hurry. Worth checking out!

I always make sure to stop by when I'm in the south bay. Absolutely love their breakfast sandwich, particularly the egg and cheese because of the spicy aioli they use. And their vegan chorizo pizza is delicious!! Coffee is great too!

I stumbled upon this small sandwich shop, and it instantly loved it. The variety of sandwiches they offer is impressive, with options for everyone—from classic favorites to more creative combinations. What really sets them apart is the quality of the ingredients and the fresh ciabatta they bake themselves. You can taste the freshness in every bite, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. On top of that, their prices are incredibly reasonable for the quality and portion sizes you get. It’s a great value for anyone who loves a good sandwich. But the best part? The backyard space! They have a lovely, cozy outdoor area that’s perfect for enjoying your meal in a relaxed, comfortable setting. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or want to hang out for a bit, this place hits the mark.

Highly recommend my favorite Chai Latte!! Love this place and the friendly staff! Priya (staff member) is so sweet, polite and makes sure the customers have everything they need. Staff is really patient and understanding and it has become our Saturday ritual to go there! Great outdoor seating too!
