    This little gem is worth seeking out. Ask about the specials - the chef gets creative. This food is seasoned (thank god)...Free street parking too!

    Enjoy breakfast on the sidewalk patio, it's about as close to a european dining experience you'll find in the San Gabriel Valley. Plus it's fun watching people try to parallel park on Green St.

    Cafe de la olla is VERY sweet. French toast is very light, airy and delicate. Stuffed pasilla chilis are delicious

    super tiny, off the beaten path and delicious. They just started selling wine. I love going there for the salmon scramble and french press coffee for breakfast.

    Eggs Benedict to kill people for, and really good coffee too. A big plus is how european the ambience is inside, but you should sit out at the sidewalk tables on a nice morning!

    Portions ARE small. I mean, I don't eat much and I was let down by the size of the crab cakes. It's like 5 star portion size with LA average fare. It was good but not so good I would come back.

    Lobster stuffed zucchini blossoms are a must when they're available and their stuffed pasilla chili peppers!

    This little cafe on Green Street reminds me of the little cafes in Paris. Lovely!

    Have only tried the crab cake and egg brunch. Not impressed, and don't bring your appetite 'cause the portions are fairly small.

    The man who complained about portions is grossly exaggerated in his eating habits portions have perfect for everything I've seen and some to large ie French toast. But that one is so good!!!
