“Very chic looking place with open kitchen, pretty lamps and wooden accent wall. We were here for weekend brunch and this place was lovely with friendly staff, great food and beautiful vibe. You enter and order at the counter and then get a table. We were not planning on desserts 🍪 but while ordering our food, they got fresh cookies and we had to order two. It was definitely the best decision of the day. Portions are good here and dishes are well prepared with perfect combination of textures and tastes. I especially loved the sweet potato hash. Frittata was good too. We also had hot chocolate and hot apple cider... Perfect for the cold January morning. Overall we liked this place and highly recommend it.”
“One of the easiest dining experiences I’ve had. You walk in, order your food, pay and seat yourself. A waiter does bring your food to your table. Classic burger was delicious. Strawberry shake was just okay. It taste like it came from a box and blended with ice. I did feel like I tasted banana. That could be problematic for those with allergies. I could be wrong though. After you’re finished dining, you leave. No waiting on check, waiting on your card. The atmosphere was cozy too. Could remind you of Starbucks.”
“Twas my first time here on a Sunday around 12:30 and it was packed! Line was out the door! This restaurant has a bit of a different concept, almost like an upscale Panera. You wait in line to place your food order. Serve yourself your own drinks. Find your own table. And someone brings the food over to your table. Despite it being absolutely packed, we were able to find a table; the last one, too! The food was so fresh and tasty. Very vegetarian friendly. I got the mushroom omelette and my husband got the breakfast burrito with added sausage. He loved his! I thought mine was good but nothing wow. The meals were so filling, too! We also got a cookie, scone, and hot chocolate to go. They were very tasty !! What I loved most about this place, though, was the staff. Even though it was so crowded, the whole staff was so calm, friendly, and welcoming. Impossible not to be in a good mood after interacting with them! Overall, I would definitely come back here !”
