Wonderful little hidden gem!! If you want to try a different taste, this spot is the place. The Portuguese breakfast was amazing, the presentation, the taste, the cortado.... everything was great. The atmosphere makes you feel like you are on a street in Porto.

Delicious food all around! You have to try the hot sauce! We asked our waitress & she says it's made in house & they wish they can bottle it. Hopefully some day in the near future, they will! We wanted to try a place that's not your typical eggs benedict/French toast & this menu delivers just that! There was a short wait but the food is worth it! Would love to come back to try other things on the menu! Love that they have lots of vegan/vegetarian options as well!
