From Citysearch
The Scene
The cafe evokes the laziness of a tropical island with flourishing palms and slow-moving fans--and notoriously slow service. Inside and out, abundant greenery shelters vibrantly colored pottery and worldly artifacts from the busy street. On the patio, an animated crowd further blocks out the outside world.
The Food
Tasty results come from a mix of traditional brunch items and world cuisine. Creamy custard-soaked French toast is legendary and sugary. Crab cake eggs Benedict puts a delicious twist on tradition, though you're better served asking for the standard hollandaise in lieu of unconventional bearnaise sauce. Juicy blueberries just sweeten dense cornmeal pancakes and the Mexicana omelette is filled with cool creme fraîche and fresh, spicy salsa that atone for underdone black beans. Lunch and dinner are available, with large, juicy hamburgers and thick, spicy roasted corn chowder highlighting the menu. The cafe also offers an assortment of freshly made cakes, cookies and chocolates.
