This is the best breakfast in the Village, in my opinion. They have great fresh fruit drinks and a rotating Benedict menu that always serves unique options. The staff is mostly attentive and pretty friendly. This is my go to recommendation for people in SW if they need a new breakfast spot.

We’re regulars at Down to Earth, we usually go for brunch once a week. It’s almost always a weekday around 1pm and we’ve had no issues with service or food quality. If you visit on the weekend it’s like anywhere else, gets very busy so you’ll wait longer. Yesterday we ordered two items from the specials board; the Huevos Rangeros and Yuppie Skillet - both delicious!

A true gem in the village. I almost don't want to spread the word to keep it lowkey but they deserve the praise. Extensive menu, fast service, unique specials, and you generally don't have to wait too long to get seated. Great homemade hot sauce too! Our favorite breakfast/brunch spot.

Everybody was so kind, the food was amazing and it was so cute in there . At first, we were by a window, It was very cold and we asked to move and they were very kind about it and let us move they were so incredibly kind and the breakfast burrito was so good.

Based on nothing more than the general appearance of this storefront breakfast Cafe, I was expecting the food to just be just solid. Man was I wrong! My breakfast burrito was absolutely awesome. I exchanged he chicken for bacon on the California chicken breakfast burrito and it totally hit the spot. My wife got an omlett and really enjoyed hers as well. The service was ok, as was the atmosphere. I'm definitely coming back for the food though.

Tiny little spot, but they made a really good breakfast. And they are so nice and attentive. Their service was honestly top notch. Their lattes were very good. We're not big breakfast eaters, so the portions were almost too much. I couldn't finish mine. It was tasty though.
