Crema's Take
“This charming Hyatt parking lot cafe is run by a passionate chef who's become a neighborhood fixture, serving up irresistible beignets and churros alongside solid cafe classics like breakfast sandwiches and pitas. The real magic is in the experience—locals and families settle into the outdoor seating to watch trains pass by, and the chef's genuine warmth makes everyone feel welcomed, whether you're grabbing a quick coffee or lingering over fresh pastries. It's the kind of place where affordable, soulful food and real human connection turn a casual meal into something memorable.”

The best fresh beignets and churros from a super friendly chef!
I would eat here again if I was staying at the Hyatt house again. 5 stars for atmosphere because it is close enough to enjoy your food in your room! It is a good atmosphere outside by the truck too but not lots of seating or cute decor if thats what you're looking for. I was given a free beignet, fresh and hot to enjoy while I waited. They didn't have the burger when I was there and I was between the mushroom sandwich or a chicken thigh pita. If I could go back, maybe next time I would try the chicken pita. The mushroom sandwich was good but I am personally not a fan of very thick bread. The fries were delicious, thick cut fries and fried perfectly. Nice and hot. Friendly service
Oh yeah ! This place is awesome. Delicious food and extremely friendly and accommodating chef. Everything I have tried has been outstanding, including BLT, chicken pita, fries, churros, beignets… definitely check this place out, it’s hidden in the parking lot behind the Hyatt House
The beignets were amazing! The egg sami was also great. Friendly service, affordable!!!, and tasty.
Friendly local chef cooking up soulful cafe classics from the Hyatt parking lot. My kid loves eating a delicious beignet while watching the trains roll by across the way. Look for the colorful graffiti food truck and say hi to Jacob when you go!
