We started with drinks: black berry mimosa and salted Carmel mocha latte. Both were divine. The…read morewait staff was attentive despite the steady stream of customers. The exterior of the building is not much to look at, but inside they have really made it charming. The entrées we chose were the classic eggs, Benedict and the quiche. At first, I thought they were quite pricey, when the entrées came out, the portion sizes are enormous. It is always very busy I'm told, but it is worth the wait.

This was our first time visiting this restaurant while traveling from out of state, and we were…read moreexcited to try it. There are a few things to know before you go. Parking is very crowded, but you can usually park at nearby businesses. When we arrived, we were greeted warmly and given the option of waiting about 20 minutes for indoor seating or sitting outside with heaters. We chose outside. Even though it was raining, the heaters kept it comfortable and it was still a nice experience. The biggest issue was the wait for the food. It took about an hour for our meals to arrive. The staff was very apologetic and explained they were having issues, which we appreciated, but an hour is still a long wait. This was especially noticeable because the restaurant's website mentions that, due to limited space, guests are asked to limit their stay to about 75 minutes. The inside of the restaurant also felt very congested because of the front entrance layout and the constant flow of people coming in. One suggestion would be to add the bakery items directly to the menu so guests can easily order them with their meals instead of having to ask separately. Our server was very nice, and the food itself was good. I ordered the hash with scrambled eggs and a coffee, while my wife had a pot of tea and the Croque Madame. They also had specials available, but we decided to keep it simple. Sorry, no pictures -- we forgot to take them. Overall, the prices were slightly higher than normal for similar places we've visited.

Now the wings were not crispy as I do usually prefer however they were insanely tender and delicious, almost like a rib. However the pretzel was our favorite, would recommend!!!! The cream cheese and the melted cheese oh my gosh I would dream of this pretzel!!!! Our waitress did proceed to forget to ring in and bring us the pretzel until we were done with our meals which was disappointing but wow did it make for a great ending. Do wish they would have compensated or apologize for the mistake, however it was tooo good to complain in the moment. The ambience also inside this place is very unique and cool! The surrounding area however is not the greatest, we did have to park on the street down a ways and did not feel the safest on our walk back. Overall a great spot and can't wait to return!!

The barista (who I believe is the head barista) went above and beyond by giving us a full "tour" of the drink menu, explaining each type of drink and helping us decide what to order.

I didn't catch her name, but her hospitality really stood out and made this first visit such a great experience. You can tell they care about their customers here. I'll definitely be back!

They gave me two things of cream cheese, and so I appreciate the amount they gave! I ordered on DoorDash and they prepped the food so fast!
