72 dollars for breakfast that was visually stunning, but the flavors and price point didn't hit the mark. The serving stoneware was pretentious, outdated and heavy. A midriff-bearing server's belly button stared at us in the eye, as the Chief and I placed our latte orders. The tofu bacon was slimy and indelible. My eggs were not the farm-fresh ones that some local spots source. The sourdough had a nice chew very dense. The mini pancakes were what you'd expect from mini pancakes. The jam spread, which our server didn't bother to identify, had tang. The Chief enjoyed the sausage patties and his mini potatoes with red pepper sauce. The most jarring part of the visit was the payment options with the tip brightly displayed as three percentage options. The lowest option was 12 dollars, which I thought was a bit presumptuous considering the false air in its food and coffee. I would have liked the option to choose my own percentage. I tipped her anyway.

Great selection of unique options! I enjoyed the Palestinian breakfast with the baby potato, and the strawberry milk matcha! Eggs were more over cooked than expected, especially since the waitress asked us how runny we would like them. Also, very busy place for a Sunday lunch, but we were seated fairly soon after arriving.

This place has been on my list for a while. I’ve seen so many posts about the food and the vibe, so I finally decided to check it out with a couple of friends. The service was good overall, though it wasn’t perfect. We were put on a waitlist, and once seated, there was a noticeable delay before our orders were taken. The drinks were amazing, but they also took some time to arrive. On the bright side, the food came out quickly and tasted fantastic, which definitely made up for the wait. The decor really stood out—beautiful plants and decorative art covered the walls, giving the space a cozy, curated feel. That said, the door was frequently left open to let customers in, which made it pretty chilly inside and took away from the comfort a bit. Despite those small issues, it was still a wonderful experience overall, and I’m glad I finally got to try it. 100% would recommend the Lavender London Fog and the Eggs Benedict with Avocado.

One of the best breakfast places we’ve eaten at and we travel everywhere. Came here 2 days in a row - had the breakfast sandwich, eggs Benedict, overnights oats and Turkish eggs. Matcha lattes were perfect sweetness. Dishes were original, flavourful and perfectly cooked. Staff were friendly and warm. Very well run place with a great vibe.

I'm basing my rating according to price. Food: 3/5 Kobocha Pie Latte (2/5) - it was their seasonal latte. Ordered an iced one but was very watery. Maybe they poured it hot on the ice since the ice was small when I got it and it that made it watery Sumac Chicken Fatteh (3/5) - the idea behind it as the initial flavor works well combined. The sauce was light, well seasoned chicken, decently fresh ingredients. I didn't like the execution though. Mouthfeel was not enjoyable. Thin slice of hazelnut would have been better, the chips was hard and could have chosen an aery one to turn into chips. It was very fatty too with the confit, yogurt, olive oil and chicken that made the experience worse after eating it in a while. There's also a bone left on my chicken Food was decent but not for the price. Service was just okay too. The atmosphere looks great though.
