Lunch from Nano Cafe


Lunch from Nano Cafe, at the northeast corner of Magnolia and Duarte Road. Though it was lunch I felt breakfasty so I got the California Omelet for $12.99 plus $1 to switch out hash browns for fresh fruit. Definitely got my money’s worth with the fruit and the smell of the biscuit tantalized me until I got home. Everything was great! https://www.nanocafemonrovia.com/
