Breaktime Cafe - (Near El Centro, CA)

Jen GZ Dope spot to chill before the flight

B Bayrak We stopped at this charming place on our way back from California. It has many nice features but most importantly it is not a coffee chain and does not have a drive thru. Both the inside and the outside seating areas have custom features. Families may find this place accommodating to small children. The service was a little slow but the coffee was worth the wait. Im sure we will stop here again on the next trip.

Chelsea This dinner experience was truly special - intimate, thoughtful, and unlike anything I’ve done before. Chef David’s storytelling brought the meal to life as he shared the Nigerian roots and cultural significance behind each dish, which made the experience so much more meaningful and engaging. Learning about the history and traditions connected to the food added a beautiful depth to the evening. The company was wonderful, creating a warm, communal atmosphere that felt both welcoming and memorable. And the food was absolutely outstanding. The flavors and spices were rich and perfectly balanced, with the honey bean couscous, bread, and jollof standing out as unforgettable highlights. They were incredibly accommodating of my dietary restrictions, as well. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for more than just a meal - this was food, culture, and connection all in one.

MD Elizabeth Louie Olivers has become my new favorite spot. The food is amazing (best garlic fries ever!), the view is amazing, the music is amazing, and the service is amazing! Beverly is an angel/saint and she should be given $1 bazillion dollars because she deserves it!!! Cant say more good things because its just amazing!

Starflower This place consistently has a line from 11:30AM-3PM so bring a sweater if it’s a chilly day because it is 100% worth the wait. My go-to (pictured) is a poke bowl with the sweet-heat tuna, mac salad and kimchee cucumber (my absolute favorite); and today the dude who runs it let me try a scoop of the sweet potato—a new sweet favorite. All over white rice with furikake seasoning. Owner + employees are consistently super nice and generous. Check out this local gem.
