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.

Excerpts

I truly don’t know why this place is so hyped.. hands down one of the worst brunches I’ve ever had. I ordered the Reuben bowl.. which had potatoes, carrots, cheese, green onion (I think… some sort of onion) a lil sauerkraut, cubed corned beef, topped with an over easy egg, and some thousand island drizzled on top. This was disgusting. First off all.. the meat should have been shredded. A Reuben always has shredded corned beef. The potatoes were basically boiled and unseasoned and in slices. They were not browned or roasted at all. Same with the carrots. The beef was horrendous. Tough. Fatty. Chewy. Inedible for the most part. The thousand island tasted like Kraft. Cheap. There was very little kraut which is one of the main components of a Reuben. This could have been so good but they found a way to completely destroy this concept. Now, let’s talk about how awkward the service is here. It’s so rushed. We had barely gotten our food and while there was still food on our plates, our waitress came and asked if we wanted boxes. Rude. Then when they bring you the check, the waitress stands there and runs your card on some hand held terminal. Bizarre. You are given an hour to order, eat, and drink and get out the door apparently. At exactly 1hr and 3 mins in, the restaurant manager came to our table and basically kicked us out and said it was the “hardest part of his job.” I will not be visiting this place again. Awful food. Weird atmosphere. Weird service. I’d rather grab McDonald’s breakfast.

The atmosphere was pretty cool, a bit speedy. Service was good, food was ok, a bit heavy but decent. Seems more appropriate for a date than family.

Wonderful breakfast experience here. The food was amazing, the staff were very polite and helpful, and the overall experience here was great. Highly recommend if you're looking for a good spot to get a filling breakfast from.
