I have been meaning to try this place for forever, and am so thrilled that I did. The aesthetic is so pleasant as are the employees I have had the pleasure of interacting with. To start, I tried one of the hot teas (which was great) as well as a single lemon ricotta pancake. I thought this was phenomenal! As my entree, I decided on the breakfast pizza. The flavors were good, but I could have appreciated more seasoning as I had to add salt and pepper. The crust on this pizza though was fantastic and crunchy-all that you would want in a dish like this. Overall, I appreciated the attention to detail, even in the menu and the “soft-tipping” strategy. Well done to the owner!

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

If you, like me, love a French restaurant, this isn't the place for you. I confess I was excited to visit, but I'd seen online that the menu didn't seem to offer traditional options. Still, I decided to go and take a chance. The place is charming, super well-located, a little difficult to park. The decor is very pleasant, the music too, but the service was okay and the menu has almost nothing French. It seems like an American restaurant with a bit of European flair. The presentation was okay, it took quite a while to get to the place where we ate, and I forgot to take a picture. The food was ok but nothing impressive.

Food was fantastic and the place is so nice inside! I got the avocado toast and a lemon ricotta pancake. The chocolate mousse was delicious as well. I love the à la carte options. I'll definitely come back next time I'm in Greensboro.
