I went to this place before Christmas. It looks nice but I wasn't in need of anything at the time. I love Uva! I'm glad to hear that they are connected somehow.

I love Mexican chorizo for breakfast. Mm. But Soyrizo, the vegan alternative, is actually quite good! Very good for vegetarian or health-conscious people out there who are looking to add some flavo...
