The bagged agua fresca and watermelon juice are both great fresh options.

storytellers-cafe-breakfast-7-2

The packaging is cute and apparently more eco-friendly.

The cereal milk was fine. It tasted like normal milk with a hint of cornflakes.

storytellers-cafe-breakfast-28-2

The assorted fruit and pastries are all delicious. The eggs benedict was amazing. The eggs were super fluffy with great flavor.
