Best brunch in the city (uncontested). Call ahead to find out wait time, but it’s worth the wait every time. Have been for brunch and dinner - always something new to try with their specials, seasonal menu changes, and southeast asian-inspired takes on brunch classics. Love the food, great friendly service, and such cool interior design!
I get brunch here every two months when I'm in Milwaukee for work. Each time I get the avo toast with egg and it's perfect. The chili crisp gardetto is what touches it off to make it unique. The sourdough bread is perfect. They had some seasonal dishes I miss - I forgot the name but there was an omelette with shiitake mushrooms and bulldog sauce which was incredible. Can't wait for them to bring that back. The service is always top notch as well.
I'm angry with myself for not knowing that this location existed prior to today. I loved the food which was no surprise to anyone who's visited either location. The thing that really made this a truly exciting visit was the fact that is was jam packed and the staff was extremely courteous, professional, super knowledgeable, and most important, friendly. It's too easy to be curt when faced with a packed house. I wish I could give them more stars as this is one of the truly remarkable restaurants in Milwaukee. I can 100% recommend the croque omelet!
Whatever they’re paying the chef. Double it. Holy crap what an incredible breakfast - five of us all ordered different things and passed them around. Every bite was amazing. We had: Biscuits and gravy Baja Chorizo hash Avocado toast B.E.L.C.H. Trad breakfast! Do it - you won’t regret!
Loved this place! The interior feels very organic, clean, and thoughtfully designed — warm, quaint, and welcoming. It has the charm of a locally owned spot (and it definitely feels like one). The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, which made the whole visit even better. Coffee was bold and delicious, served in a great rustic mug, and the avocado toast was outstanding, crispy bread, fresh toppings, and so much flavor. It was so good we came back the next morning for breakfast and tried the B.E.L.C.H., their take on a BLT with breakfast potatoes. The sandwich was huge, easily shareable, and came with a pile of perfectly crispy, flavorful potatoes. Overall, a cozy, well-kept spot with great food, great people, and a great vibe. Highly recommend!

Cozy Milwaukee gem serving bold brunch and Southeast Asian-inspired classics in a warm, thoughtfully designed space.
