Solid breakfast place. Little on the pricier side but everything was done well—steak and eggs in particular was very good. Coffee with free refills is a plus, server even offered one to go. Pancakes were a little dense and floury, but maybe that’s just a personal preference. Overall would recommend.

The food was very good! And the portions are very hefty! The staff was very nice and the restaurant looks small but is quite large on the inside, they have a downstairs and an upstairs in addition to the space you first walk into, so they were able to seat us right away for brunch on a Sunday

Delicious brunch spot! We tried the banana waffle, peach pancake, and tofu acorn squash—and every dish was fantastic. The flavors were fresh and creative, and the presentation matched the quality. The staff was super friendly, there was no wait, and we easily found street parking. The atmosphere was eclectic and fun—every corner had character, even the bathroom! The only downside was the noise level. It got pretty loud with the crowd and minimal sound absorption, so conversation was a bit tricky at times. Still, it didn’t take away from a great experience overall. Definitely worth a visit!

Wow. I wasn't expecting to be blown away by pancakes but damn were they good. I ordered a mint tea, fruit salad, and mango strawberry pancakes, my partner got the chilaquiles Verdes and cold brew. These pancakes gave me life. Texturely amazing. Having granola, fresh fruit, fruit compote, and margarine on perfect pancakes was a dream. The fruit salad was a really nice mix + cut in small pieces which I liked. My partner's chilaquiles were good, and we loved the homemade chips and sauce. But the eggs were definitely very easy (ordered over easy, next time will do medium) and the rice with beans was okay. I think we prefer having beans and rice separately, tbh. The setting itself was super cute, and I noticed our server was serving the whole restaurant. But along with the bussers and other people coming around, there wasn't a moment I felt uncared for. You could tell they were an excellent team. Definitely a lil pricey but hey, that's the world we live in. Thanks for a really yummy breakfast y'all.

Cutesie little place. All of the waitstaff were so sweet. I came here as a solo diner and they were all very attentive. I got the chicken and waffle which was very delicious. Personally, I’d tinker with the recipe to make it more fusion-y and well blended but it was delicious on its own! Perhaps it’s complete own sauce instead of some sauce and syrup. Or maybe seasoning the waffle in a way to make it more cohesive. No matter, still very good and an amazing latte, would definitely come back ☺️
