“ Cute place, drove up and was initially suspicious as it is connected to a gas station but was pleasantly surprised. Plenty of options on the menu. California Salad had organic blackened chicken and Ruben came with garlic fries. Solid. ”
“ This place is a little off the main road to Yosemite between Mariposa and Oakhurst but oh my heavens is it worth the trip. FANTASTIC IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD. 100, 200 recommend. Take the detour. Eat something amazing. This little holeinthewall is deceptively humble from the outside and FANTASTIC on the inside. Do it! ”

Looks like you cant go wrong with anything here. ”
“ One of the best breakfast places I ever visited in the States. We had a chorizo sandwich and a turkey sandwich, which we recommend the chorizo one was too strong for me, but my boyfriend loved it. The portions are HUGE and very filling! We also had a croissant, but I dont recommend that, better go with a sandwich. The highlight of this breakfast was the iced tea though! It was sugar free and delicious, we even took one to go! ”
