"The food is standard. Nothing wow, but very consistent. We go for George (Jorge) and the lady (i think she's the new owner). George makes the best mimosas, always ready to smile and get you drinks and food. He is just the best. The Lady, always welcoming and ready to engage in a nice conversation. They also are never rushing to get you out the door. They want you to rest, relax and enjoy your time with them."

"Delicious food, and the new owners are super friendly. I come here regularly. So far I’ve tried the Croissant french toast, Blackened chicken panini, Patty melt, Char-grilled veggie salad. I tried my cousins onion ring fries and they were so yummy! (I usually don’t like onion rings) they were crispy and with lots of flavor They updates their coffee, the new coffee is delicious, I would highly recommend it"

"Rosa, the owner, is so sweet, welcoming and so hands on! The diner has never looked better. The food is great. Jorge, one of the servers, has always, throughout the years been a great staple to the diner and continues to be. He always goes out of his way to make it a pleasant, warm, and a homey experience. When I visit, it reminds me of the "old Kew Gardens"-homey and the feeling of family."

"I love trying new places to eat so this was no different. Ordered scrambled eggs with three meats and toast. The breakfast was excellent and cooked how I had requested. Also ordered iced coffee which was good, not strong but had a fresh taste. What made me give this place the 4 stars is the cake we ordered, the tiramisu was stale and had an old taste to it, did not enjoy it, my partner’s cheesecake wasn’t terrible but wasn’t the best, at $6.50 a slice this knocked this eatery’s stat one star down. The place was busy being it was Sunday morning and we never got water service until we had to ask for water, not a huge deal. Place is comfortable and love the seating arrangements which are booths which offer privacy. Overall food seems tasty here but stay away from the cakes or have the cake and mention it to the manager if it has a stale taste."
