Some standout dishes include:

  • Eggs Benedict – A classic brunch dish with perfectly poached eggs, creamy hollandaise, and savory Canadian bacon. The eggs are perfectly cooked, with the yolk spilling out in the most satisfying way when you break through the whites. The hollandaise sauce is rich but not too heavy, making each bite a delightful indulgence.
  • Chilaquiles – A Mexican-inspired breakfast dish featuring crispy tortilla chips, tender chicken, and a subtle floral flavor. The dish is topped with a refreshing green sauce and a sprinkle of cilantro, creating a refreshing contrast to the crispy chips. It’s a savory dish with layers of flavor that blend together beautifully.
  • Lavender Latte – A smooth, aromatic latte with a delicate hint of lavender that complements the café’s tranquil atmosphere. The lavender adds just the right touch of floral sweetness, balancing the richness of the espresso in a unique way.

The lavender latte is a unique touch, adding a subtle floral note that really stands out among the usual coffee options. It’s the perfect drink for a relaxing morning or afternoon at the café.

Though the café does offer other delicious dishes, such as fresh pastries, waffles, and gelato, it’s the balanced, comforting offerings that make it such a great place for couples to unwind and enjoy a relaxed meal.
