The owners are a Somali Couple, Elias and Nasra. They are located on 324 Cedar (next to the Red Sea and Keifer Court). They specialize in Americanna (burgers and all day breakfast). The food however is not your standard greasy spoon. Josh_IRO had a breakfast burrito with avacado, angus steak, eggs, and fresh salsa and I had Oat pancakes. They serve Peace Coffee.

Both owners and the employee told us at seperate times about how much they wanted to learn how to ride bikes, and how much they admire cyclists. Breakfast was delicious!

Such a nice place, such a nice couple, and they went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable and had enough water. They didn't even bat an eyelash when my camelback leaked all over their floor.

I spotted this place the other day and was surprised to see it. I will have to go and check out breakfast.

It has taken the place of where the Kilimanjaro Cafe was, next to Red Sea.

I didn't eat all day so I treated myself to this place as my one meal today as I am a sucker for breakfast. I had the french toast which was great and the veggie omelet which was delicious. It was more of a scrambled hash if you are expecting a traditional omelet.

Super nice people.

I need a student ID. I can't afford full price orchestra tickets.

Have you signed up for their e-mail list? I get a coupon ever so often for cheap tickets.


Just a FYI - I did not see any veggie burgers/tofu anythings explicitly but you might be able to request something without the meat. Breakfast all day which has lots of vegetarian options.
