    Avocado Toast
    Heather B.

    First time customers. Just me and the girls decided to try somewhere new. Very warm and welcoming, modern interior with everything updated. Menu is clear. I like that it's a concise menu that offers just enough without doing too much. The service was quick. Seated immediately. Several other couples there, plenty of seating available. Staff was very friendly and the food was delicious. We ordered avocado toast. I give it 5 stars. This was more of an adult meal, my daughter's palette wasn't there for this. The sauce or jam on it with balsamic wasn't something she liked, but I thought it was fabulous with an egg on top. The vanilla latte with vanilla cold foam? My daughter said was way better than Starbucks. So that's a compliment from her world! She said 10 stars. The potato that came with the avocado toast was excellent. Perfectly seasoned. The side of turkey bacon, a little dry. But that's usually how it is.

    Went in for brunch on a weekday after an appointment and was happy to see this beautiful restaurant. So clean and spacious, it really was a joy. We came and ordered and our food was out quickly. The portions were large and delicious. There's plenty of amazing choices and you can make your selections of omelets into skillets (which I love). You also can choose from an assortment of exciting flavors on the selections. Some dishes you'll find amazing choices with Zaatar or Halloumi Cheese. I am in love, honestly. Ohhh and they made me FRESH iced tea. That's insane and it was delicious. I am looking forward to coming back here. It's definitely a great restaurant.

    Iced Vanilla Matcha Latte

    First timer here from Michigan. Saw online a brunch spot. Came in, very clean staff is very nice and welcoming. loved the food and the drinks. They have Matcha and Coffee Flights. Amazing dishes! Was impressed with their matcha selection. Definitely recommend coming here if you're looking for good food and coffee!

    Matcha Float

    This was a great breakfast place. The vibe inside feels clean and modern. Ambiance is great. Service was great, in that the waiter was very attentive. Food was great, felt light, and was healthy. They have a vegan specials menu, which is rare for a breakfast place. They also have a healthy choices section on the menu. The owner was very kind and stopped to chat with us for a bit about as well.

    Latte with almond milk and cinnamon

    The service was spectacular; the waitress Brianna was very kind and polite. The food was very good too. I will definitely return.

    Great brunch place! Service is good and the food comes with a zing! I liked the coffee flight. It allowed me to try flavors that I would not necessarily get in a whole cup! My steak sandwich was amazing

    I drive past this place almost every day, and I finally decided to stop in for breakfast. It's a small, cozy, family-owned spot, and I'm glad I gave it a try. Breakfast was excellent, the service was friendly, and the conversation was great. And the coffee? Absolutely AAA. A solid little gem -- I'll definitely be back.

    Ham and cheese plus green pepper scrambler with homestyle potatoes and sour dough.

    The staff is friendly and welcoming. The food tastes fresh and tastes very good. They have a good vegetarian option as well! The restaurant recently open as the space is warm and inviting.

I felt like a child sitting there because the seats were low. It doesn't help that I'm not very tall either. The food was okay, and the portions were generous. I ordered the sweet potato skillet, which came with diced ham, cheese, and eggs. It also came with a short stack of pancakes, which were also generously sized. Although you definitely need butter and syrup on the pancakes, it wasn't very tasty without them. I could only finish half of this meal and had to take the rest home. Do not order the coffee, it tasted terrible, as if it were burnt. The server was very friendly and attentive at first. But when the food arrived, he didn't check back very often. I had to flag down another server for a takeout container before he came with the check.

My family is fully a savory meal crowd, so we loved having options that weren't just two eggs with toast. There were assortments of skillets to choose from, frittatas, stuffed potato pancakes, chicken fried steak -- they really had it all. The food came out fast and had so much flavor, for the price you really can't beat it. Though I'm more of a fan of savory I couldn't help but be intrigued by their sweet offerings -- the Dubai chocolate waffle? Churro waffle coated in cinnamon sugar? Banana bread French toast? The list goes on and on, these flavors are so unique and I can't believe that I can find them all under one roof. I had to try the carrot cake pancakes, and they truly tasted like carrot cake. No syrup was needed, every bite had flavor and sweetness. I love that Brunch Cafe has gluten free options as well, and though I didn't try them I know they would be just as amazing as everything else. There's truly an option for every kind of eater in your family, and it proves they aren't a typical breakfast eatery. Pro tip: They get super busy, so be sure to join the Yelp waitlist to secure a place in line!

I had expected more pancake options on the menu since it is a pancake cafe but there are ~4 options available (aside from the standard buttermilk and gluten free ones). I had the California omelet (avocado, mushrooms, tomatoes, pepper jack cheese) with hashbrowns and pancakes. I upgraded to the berry pancakes (blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries) for an upcharge. My child had the pancakes from the kid's menu which came with two small pancakes and a meat of her choice (she chose bacon). Food took some time to come out and we had to ask for water. My omelet was decent but the hashbrowns were overcooked and dry. The berry pancakes were just okay. There was fresh fruit on top but I didn't care for the berry drizzle on top of the pancakes as it tasted artificial. The kid's meal was very plain (I don't know what I expected) and I should have shared my meal with my child since she ended up eating all the berries off my pancakes anyway.

It's trendy and clean and elevated and feels like you're in Greece at a super nice beach club. They've done an excellent job with the atmosphere. The service is the quickest I've ever seen and staff are friendly and professional. There were lots of kids in there, but I'd say it's nicer restaurant. The spicy whipped feta was tasty, but not spicy at all. It had pistachios and pomegranates on top - i'm not sure if they gave us the wrong whipped feta or they've changed the menu, but there was zero spice to it. The lamb ragu hummus was also good. Super hearty and a great twist to a normally plain dip. The veggies that came with it were displayed SO stunning. Rainbow carrots and lots of fun veggies. The pita was delicious as well. We had 2 chicken kabobs - the grilled and the kefta. Both were seasoned and cooked great. I'd get the Kefta one again - the tzatziki it comes with was perfect. For dessert, we had pistachio and cookies n sprinkles Greek frozen yogurt. It really is Greek frozen yogurt and you can taste it. The pistachio one came with almost a pistachio infused sauce on top. If you order at the table, it's a much larger portion than if you get it from the to- go window. We got both one at the table and one to go, and the one of the table did taste significantly better. I'm not kidding - you order and then within 3 to 5 minutes the dish comes out. They really know how to get you in and out, but we also had wine so it's fun to sit and just relax too. Overall, the food quality wasn't quite as high as I was hoping (comparing it to Ava), but I'd come back of course.

And it was nothing short of superb in all facets. My son ordered the Southwest Avocado Burger, which an earlier review this year praised. He agreed. He loved it. His mom had the Chicken Philly. Equally good. Both had large portions. I had the Russian Reuben. It was like 3X the size of a traditional Reuben sandwich one might get dining out. I was barely able to eat a third. It was huge beyond huge. It was spectcular. I wasn't sure corned beef would blend so well with turkey but both meats did. Sumptuous! The Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, Russian horseradish sauce and 1000 Island dressing on top - OMG - it was so unbelievable! $2.00 more - you get your fries and soup (choice of 6 - wow - what eatery has 6 soup options)? The onion soup was $1 extra but who cares? It was all a ton for the buck. The basket of tasty dinner rolls upon arrival was delightful. Our waitress Terry was excellent thru and thru and worthy of a large tip, which we obliged. We got free refills on our drinks too, a big thing for us. We were all totally pleased with our visit and will be sure to return at least once or twice before moving out of state later this year. We wish we could clone this place and take it to where we all are moving. I truly don't understand those whining here and their posts. Everything we had was good throughout. If I had to nitpick, I would say the French onion soup itself was average and not rich but the large crouton in the soup and abundant melted yummy Swiss cheese well compensated with the grated topping over the cheese incredibly tasty, making it over the top. The raspberry iced tea could have been a bit sweeter but it wasn't bad either. And you automatically get water delivered to your table, a rarity among diners today. And yeah, I get to a degree the 3% (rounded off) card charge but when you're spending $80 to $100 for gargantuan portions of great food, come on, who really cares about an extra $2.50-$3, chump change? A church friend of the family told me she and her husband go to Omega periodically and recommended it. So this evening we all went. And not one bit disappointed. 24/7/365 diners are a dying breed these days but we are so glad Omega is still around and I say long live the Omega. A shout out to the crews working here as well as the owner.

He was concerned when we didn't like the soup or salad but was glad we liked our entrees. They also have a large case of desserts. We tried the baklava which was also delicious. We will definitely be back.

    Hmm, my last review is a teenager... time for an update 16 years later!…read more This place continues to be a gem! We had a 15 minute wait around noon on a holiday. While they were open for dinner in the past, WB now only serves until 2:30pm, which is common for brunch places. Plan accordingly! My go to is the chipotle chicken crepes. I always opt for a savory brunch bite. The potato pancakes are thin and crisp and pair nicely with applesauce and smooth sour cream. A lovely addition is Dollop Coffee specialty drinks like tiramisu or chocolate orange cold brew and lavender vanilla lattes, all around $6.50. Kids' menu has plenty of breakfast and lunch options for young ones 10 and under. Hash browns or corned beef hash on the side are popular with my kids. Friendly waitstaff.

I ordered a small stack of pancakes with spicy hash browns and bacon, while my husband kept it classic with scrambled eggs and toast. And wow...the food absolutely knocked it out of the park. The hash browns were insanely good. I never realized hash browns could pair so perfectly with pico de gallo, but now I'm convinced. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious, and the bacon was thick-cut and cooked just right. This is definitely a spot we'd come back to. The atmosphere is welcoming, and the food somehow manages to be even better.
