Located in the Seco Canyon Village shopping center, this local favorite has been bringing bold flavors and a welcoming experience to the community since 2007.
“It’s very community-based,” owners Luis and Ronnee Diaz said. “There’s a lot of people here in Santa Clarita who support the local businesses.”
A real-life Thelma and Luis opened the cafe after coming to Santa Clarita from El Salvador.
With a background in fine dining, Luis blends American, Latin and French influences throughout the menu.
That means plenty of choices, from big breakfast burritos and French toast to chicken pesto paninis, mimosas and cream-filled crepes.
One standout is the seafood omelet, topped with a full lobster tail and featuring flavors like truffle and lobster.
