Great Dessert Menu yet the portions are so large you're too full to enjoy any of them unless you take it to go. 

Business response:

Eat dessert first! Keep #feedingyourinnerbear

I took my Mom here for breakfast. We loved it. Brandi was an Awesome waitress. She explained the extensive menu, and our breakfast was very tasty. My eggs were tender, and my bacon was crispy. The portions are large. The decor is fun. I'm so excited to have this diner in El Cajon.
