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.

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.
