If you're looking for a solid brunch spot and craving some classics, this was a great stop in. We enjoyed their Nutella waffle spread and a create your own omelette. Volume portions are substantial and there is enough variety on the menu to cater to anyone. Service was somewhat attentive (but it was super busy on a Sunday AM). Ambiance is casual. Will definitely come back!

Cute and cozy breakfast spot. Can we talk about the French toast!? You have got to try the coconut macaron. It was nice and THICK. I asked for the toppings on the side because it may be too sweet for me. Overall, a must try and I can see why they're famous. The potato's on the breakfast place was cooked to perfection and flavors were on point. We got here right when they opened but my friend did mention to me that it gets insanely packed!

Soooo good here! I've been here twice and everything is delicious as always. Get the coconut macaroon French toast and egg Benedict. Soo much flavor, I always get the icings on the side tho because it can be a lot. The service is great and the owner is super nice. Parking is on the street if you come early You'll be fine. It does get busy tho so I recommend coming before 9am or after 12:30pm since they close at 3.

Best French Toast I've ever had, amazing. I'm speechless. Great atmosphere, clean, outstanding service. We will be returning ASAP.

So cozy inside!!! Love it here. The smoked salmon Benedict was amazing and so was the waffles! Will be back!

The food was outstanding! Generous portions, and each dish was perfectly complemented by the right sides. The service was efficient, especially considering how busy it gets during peak hours--but they handle it well. The owner personally checks in with guests to ensure everyone's taken care of, which I really appreciated! As for the ambiance, it's a cozy and comfortable spot, perfect for a relaxed brunch. We have been to this place several times and recommend to anybody who loves brunches!

Solid breakfast/brunch spot in Teele Sq. They have tons of sweet and savory options including different types of omelettes, eggs Benedict, French toast, pancakes. I got the corned beef hash and potatoes which was a pretty big portion! The hash was well seasoned and the potatoes were crispy. The service was fast too. Would recommend if you're looking for a classic breakfast spot!

What a lovely neighborhood spot for brunch/breakfast! They have great portion sizes and classic brunch foods made not too greasy. Two of us had dairy allergies, so I also appreciate that they called out this ingredient in their omelets without us having to ask. Service was fast and friendly despite them being packed (the line was out the door when we left), though it was a bit confusing getting seated at first since they don't have an hostess stand area. I got the moroccan eggs, which were delicious and filling. I thought it would be like shakshuka, but you have the option of how you want your eggs done (poached, scrambled, fried, etc). I would come back to try their other menu options!

The food is ok. The servings are pretty big- I always bring a to go box home with me. The orange juice is refreshing. Today I tried the famous macaroon coconut French toast. I give it a 3.5 out of 5. It's really sweet and coconutty. If you like coconut, this is for you. The service is good for such a busy spot. Sometimes they get the order wrong, something missing from the order or don't offer you a bag for your to-go box. But they all are always warm, welcoming and accommodating.
