The food is always fresh and delicious and home fries are always crispy as they should be! Real, juicy strawberry quarters on a strawberry waffle and an option for real maple syrup ;) Also, with so many food allergies and restrictions now, it's SO important that preferences are acknowledged - this is a must, not a luxury! However, my simple request for egg whites is hardly ever heeded; but not here. This place nails it every time since day 1! And despite our server taking care of the whole place solo, she is so very attentive and a pleasure. They also have a specials board now and again which is v appreciated.

There was a part of my brain that said hey just get the five dollar breakfast sandwich, but when I try a brunch place that's highly rated I am compelled to get the eggs Benedict. Because any brunch place worth their salt should have a really good eggs Benedict on the menu. Again, wow, I am so glad I ordered the eggs Benedict. This is the best eggs Benedict I have had in years. The hollandaise sauce was rich and smooth and absolutely delicious. They also gave me a choice of potatoes or salad, I took the potatoes because: breakfast potatoes! They were perfectly crispy and creamy. They also delivered a little pot of their house sauce, which was made of cilantro and mint, and a bunch of other things. I tend to avoid cilantro and mint foods. In the past, I have described eating cilantro as biting down on a piece of tinfoil, a sensation that says "run for your life!" overtime my reaction to cilantro has mellowed, and I don't really understand why. But? I ate every bit of that house sauce. I'm so glad I tried it, and tried it with the eggs, Benedict, because it added a perfect level acidity to cut through that richness, and really elevated the dish. The top it all off, the service could not have been more welcoming, efficient, friendly. What a wonderful place!

We both ordered the Hannah, which came with housemade sausage patties and hollandaise sauce. The hollandaise was rich, buttery, and absolutely delicious. Also give the chai latte a try!! I love when a spot supports local artists and community events. They have a bar inside, a small outdoor covered porch area, cozy little artist corner, and tables spread throughout the space that make it feel comfortable and inviting. All staff was helpful and working together to making the whole experience run smoothly. The playlist was a 10/10 too. Overall, this was such a fun breakfast spot, and we'd definitely come back!

We popped in last night to check out the new changes and really enjoyed our evening. Ambience is great, some changes to decor brightens up the inside and the new furniture is great. Now food. Best burger I've had in a while. I ordered the Maple Bourbon burger (can't recall the exact name) and it was delicious to the last bite. Our party also enjoyed the Buffalo tenders, French Toast chicken sandwich and some chicken wings. The selection of beer could be a little bigger, but we found something we all enjoyed. Have patience as the staff and crew get settled in but rest assured, the food is worth it! We will be back!

The ambiance is very low key, easy to keep clean tables, chairs and floor. The coffee is good. Pancakes are huge. I asked twice for real maple syrup but unless she forgot to charge me for it, I think I got 'pancake' syrup, which is made of corn syrup and I'm not supposed to eat that. Note to self, if you have a food sensitivity or allergy, be sure they know it because I just tried to order according to my needs and didn't spell it out as I should have. The full order of Irish breakfast - an eggs bene over corned beef hash - is HUGE. A half order is absolutely enough for your average size breakfast. I ordered two pancakes, and one would have been enough for my appetite. Another note to self - portions are big. On street parking. Single restroom off dining area. Friendly staff. Good food and coffee. Definitely worth a stop for a home style breakfast.

I'll start off by saying that the staff was very nice. I told them it was our first time there and she sat us down, told us to look over the menu and then order at the counter when we were ready. We ended up sharing the breakfast monster crepe and also the eat your greens salad. I can honestly tell you that the eat your greens salad was one of the best salads I've had. its so simple but so delicious and packed full of flavor. The lettuce leaves were extremely fresh, and the dressing was homemade. The crepe was also good, not the best I've had but it was good. Honestly the winer for me was that salad. We also ordered some hot drinks and I was surprised to find that they have organic coffee, really good. and their honey is legit, not the fake stuff. I know some of the other reviews were complaining about the pricing on things but its obviously better quality as well. You can taste it for sure. I will say that the one thing I didn't like was the fact that the tables/chairs are so close together. We were sandwiched in between two families with children and it was really hard to relax. We had to listen to one family complain about not having gotten their crepe yet even though everyone else had gotten their food. I felt that if I even inched either to my right or left I would hit the person sitting on the other end. They need to configure the seating better. Otherwise, it's a great place, I'd definitely come back and maybe sit at a counter or a booth if I'm lucky.
