If you aren’t going to Carmen’s for breakfast, you are missing out! We ordered several different dishes to try and they were all delicious. All homemade! I am not really an horchata person, but their horchata is amazing! The staff was very nice. 100% recommend.

This was a fantastic experience! Our son wanted to go to a local diner. He graduated from boot camp a few days prior and wanted comfort food. He got banana Nutella crepes and biscuits and gravy. My daughter got bacon waffles, and the bacon was even added into the waffle batter. I got a meat lovers omlette and hash browns, and my husband got raspberry lemon french toast, and they use real fruit! I will definitely say if you want to eat locally, this was a good place.
