5 /5 Melissa Pavarino: On a roadtrip and quickly searched for a spot we could stop for a late lunch. From the moment we walked in, we knew this family-run gem was something special.
The vibe is warm, intentional, and full of heart — the kind of place where the food nourishes you and the people make you feel at home.
We started with The Buzz, a fresh-pressed juice that was as vibrant and energizing as its name.
The hummus plate was beautifully done — creamy, flavorful, and paired with cucumber, tomatoes, red onion and pita.
But the real magic? When the chef offered to make us something off-menu. (Pro-tip: If a chef ever offers to make you something not on the menu — say yes. It’ll be the best thing you eat.) What came out was a soulful dish of rice, beans, and veggies, seasoned to perfection. Plus, a lovely side of Plantain.
We loved everything about our visit. Even though we were in a bit of a rush to get back on the road to make it to our destination nearly 6 hours away, we are so happy to have discovered a new favorite.
We will be back next time we’re passing through! You should too. You won’t be disappointed!
