5 stars for helping me throw a great event and not having to worry about feeding my guests! Recently placed a big order (for roughly 50 people for a housewarming party) with no prior history tasting their food or even hearing about them from anyone other than the internet.and the food was GREAT. We picked up the platters, which were all displayed beautifully, and our guests loved it. Would absolutely use them again!

This is a really good breakfast and brunch place in Walnut Creek. We went on Friday morning and we had to wait for 20 minutes. They only had outdoor dining since they were undergoing renovation inside. We ordered a urbanos bowl, hippie happy bowl, avocado multigrain toast, carnitas and country style potatoes. The bowls were really good and loved the combination of Spanish rice with the fajita tofu and fresh veggies in that.

The sauce was also really great. The mint sauce on the side of the hippie happy bowl was herbaceous and well balanced. The multigrain toast in the avocado toast was exceptional. It had a really nice nutty flavor. The portions were really filling. The staff were friendly and polite.

Always really great service. Thank you! Order at counter once they assign you a seat. I always get the Dick's Special (Richard, Ha) with French toast. Parking can be hard to find when they're busy. Tip: there's parking spots in the back but you'll need to enter through S California (Yoga Flow SF) or go the wrong way in the parking lot.

The breakfast we ordered was very delicious. [Chelsea's Omelette (egg whites, zucchini, broccoli, spinach, jack cheese, and avocado, with side of kale & broccolini), lemon ricotta pancakes (lemon ricotta pancakes served with mascarpone whipped cream and blueberry compote),a nd cinnamon swirl french toast (cinnamon swirled chalian bread dipped in spiced egg batter)] The service was okay. They were busy on a Tuesday morning, so small details were overlooked. Cant wait to return and taste the other things on their menu.
