    The traditional breakfast. Two eggs, bacon and potatoes. Yum yum
    Maylon R.

    Ducked in here early morning for some traveling relatives. Great service from Rylin our server. Good, solid breakfast choices. Food was a good value. Taste and texture was great. The one giant pancake was delicious. I'll be back.

    Great menu, well-prepared and -served! Usually pretty busy ('cause it is popular); so a little noisy. Worth a wait, if necessary. Clean & classy.

    Such a nice place for brunch! I always enjoy the food and the service is usually good too. My only issue is the consistency, almost everytime there is something missing from our order. Today I had the choose 2 lunch with soup and the pecan salad. It was all delicious but the salad was missing the avocado and bread. Also I wish they would add a make your own breakfast option. My husband wanted a banana Pancake but didn't want eggs or meat with it just fruit. So he had to order a single pancake and a large fruit which ordered separately was $12. The drinks and coffee are great. They offer a free bogo meal on your bday. Kids meals are a little small but ok. Wish they offered soup, salad, and better variety for kids. The girls bathroom could use some repairs. There was an actual hole in the wall (!) Of the handicap stall and the latch on the door was hanging off. Overall, great healthy place for brunch in NWA!

    Traditional Eggs Benedict... couple of bites missing from potatoes.

    Been sometime since we stopped in. Greeted in a friendly manner. Seated quickly. Our drinks came quickly after ordered. After that... our server had to be flagged down for help. I did see other severs hustling about taking good care of their tables. Towards the end she perked up and did good. My food arrived lukewarm, my wife's pancake was cold. They made the pancake again for her. I ate mine as I was very hungry after a fast for a medical test. I ordered million dollar bacon that did not arrive until I was well into my meal. But it was hot and delicious. The coffee as always was fantastic.

    The Menu is NOT a traditional menu the food is over done with too many extras. The dining room was really noisy. 75 decibels Hostess was a SHIM. Wont be back. Black Bear cafe and Neal's have you beat 10 fold.

    Stopped in for breakfast. There was a short wait but the hostess was very friendly and got us seated quickly. French toast and breakfast tacos were very good. Egg, chorizo, cheese, tomatoes and avocado on whole wheat tortillas. This is a great location when you're hungry. Have a Yelptastic day!!!

I love the trendy laid back atmosphere, both inside and it includes a nice patio space. I noticed several people either dining with others or doing some reading or work on their computers, quite an endorsement of how relaxing the environment is. I had the Breakfast Sammy, which was absolutely delicious. The ingredients tasted quite fresh and each component was really nailed. My wife went with The Dagwood which she loved as well. Friendly staff to boot. I can definitely see us returning here soon.

Early on there had been some shape-shifting from mini-bodega for the entrance lobby, but they've settled into this current mode as a wine bar. For my food: I ordered the salmon breakfast, which comes with a 'jammy egg,' and a latte breve. I had asked for my drink in a mug but received it in a glass. I have a personal preference for my meal to be deconstructed. I hadn't seen a picture of this dish else would have instructed had I been aware. I like to cut open my own egg and tear apart my own fish. (That... will likely be a standard request for all restaurants in the future--deconstruct.) I like the salt flakes and fennel on the eggs and don't know whether I'd've gotten them deconstructed The salmon seems (to me to be) more 'baked' than 'smoked:' The service was pleasant and charming.

You walk in and the energy is so eclectic. There are so many colors, textures, materials all within the ordering space that I was absolutely in love. The baristas seems sweet (and a lil shy) but answered all my questions (I always ask the barista of a coffee shop I'm trying for the first time what their favorite things are on the menu). My mom got a blended chai - she said it was good! I got an iced latte and a hummingbird, which is a sparkling lavender lemonade. I've had many iced lattes in my life...this was one of the most well balanced lattes I've ever had. It wasn't too bitter or too sweet. The milk (whole - a regret as I didn't see the coconut cashew milk option until after ordering!) didn't add or detract too much from the overall flavor or texture of the drink either. It was phenomenal. The lavender lemonade was also PERFECT. It makes me mad that I don't live near because I loved it so much. It was sweet and a tiny bit sour. Amazing. I have plans to visit the area again and trust me...I'll be getting at least 2 pastries and trying the coconut cashew milk next time!
