We had visited the location in Durham and wanted to try the location in Butner since we live here. There's a large dining area, and at the time we went it wasn't very busy.

You just eat here, but tie your shoes tight because your …
The food in the service was great. The inside is super clean and organized. Has a very nice atmosphere a lot of space as well. I love all the different menu items they have. A very good variety of food, coffee, and pastries.
The service is great. The food is amazing. We keep on coming back to eat here.
I really love the food here. Very fresh ingredients and made to order. This is the best food I have found in Butner/Creedmoor area hands down. Give them a chance!
Really cute and convenient cafe. I love their authentic Honduran menu options the best. I also love their huevos rancheros and breakfast plates. The staff are friendly. I order take out primarily and the staff almost always get my order correct each time I order. Would recommend and return.
