Stopped in for breakfast after my bus route. I ordered the Hella Stella breakfast sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. It is made with Stella's spicy cheese bread. OMG

This place is amazing! Stopped on my way in from out of state and the breakfast burrito ( not pictured as I ate it so fast) was top-notch. Also, highly recommend the coconut cream cold brew! I will definitely be coming back from out of state again.

A breakfast staple for us! Whenever I’m in town, I come to this place! I absolutely enjoy all the food. Lots of great options and really yummy. Portion sizes are good. We also really enjoyed all the different drink options and seasonal flavors. The bakery items are also very delicious. Would recommend the chocolate croissant and the cinnamon roll! Easy to order, food comes quick, and lots of seating at this particular location. Popular place for people to do some work. I really enjoy the cashew crema that comes with the avocado toast. The food overall just taste super fresh and flavorful! I would highly recommend.

*Elegant & Tasteful: The Ancora Experience* Preface: I am surprised they weren't busier as how great this restaurant is. This bright and inviting restaurant has a full bakery as well as an espresso counter, providing the utmost quality food, drinks, and baked goods. I can't get enough of this place. Food: I had the chorizo hash and everything was on point. From spice, to seasonings, to texture, this is the way to start your day. My only complaint is that I didn't get more. Service: Quick and efficient. Everyone was moving getting orders out. Ambiance: Bright and inviting. Pristine with a southern couture feel. Overall: 10/10 would go to again. Definitely one of the best breakfast spots I've been to.

Ancora is a wonderful little cafe amd bakery. We love coming here for breakfast, usually get the chorizo hash and then one of the seasonal items. Right now(12/2025) there is a ginger orange pancakes dish. It is very tasty but very sweet, might be good to share instead of trying to have for one person.
