This coffee shop is absolutely beautiful. You can tell the owners put a lot a thought into design & decor of this shop. The staff and atmosphere are really welcoming & the space they offer makes you want to just hang out and open a book. The coffee is delicious. The Iced White Mocha is definitely one of my favorites. Cant forget about their healthy & great tasting food. They offer both breakfast & lunch items. Over all nothing but a great experience from Be True Cafe!

Great Farm to Table menu kind of, healthy plus decadent plus on a American Mexican twist they have burritos but their American style. They also have many other menu items that I didn't try that look amazing some of the specials are incredible. Check them out especially on a Sunday afternoon when it's quiet.

Be True is a fantastic place that makes great food. It doesn't show up when you search "Hollister Restaurants" because it's currently labelled "Coffee Shop" instead of something like "Brunch Restaurant," but the food is every bit as good as the drinks. Give this place a shot - I haven't had a menu item yet that I didn't love.

I just visited for the first time. I was in town to see family. We came here and loved it. The food was so good. We all ordered their brunch burritos ( the haybaler and the portabella) and they came with side salad, fresh fruit and the best salsa. Everything was delicious, fresh and healthy. The owner and staff were very friendly and answered all questions and took great care of us. I can not wait to come back.

I order food for corporate lunches every week so I have some experience with the different restaurants in town. Be True is definitely our favorite. The food is just on a whole other level of delicious. I have spent a lot of time on the phone with their staff, namely Desiree and Ruth. They are both so lovely. The put so much care into each order and are so helpful and accommodating. Lastly, the menu has gluten free, dairy free, and vegan options that are all very good. I highly recommend this restaurant.
