I stumbled on this place through DoorDash. I decided to go in person and try it and BOY AM I GLAD I DID. This place is wonderful, I got the banana mocha (has alcohol) and it was delicious. For my breakfast I got the monte cristo and it was amazing. The avocado burrito was also ordered and it looked amazing. I was told it was so good. I’ll definitely be bringing my friends over here for breakfast. This place is nice and quiet. So wonderful!

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.

Not for vegans when we went! Although there are vegan options on the menu not much was available. We chose the vegan sausage scramble. As they were out of sweet potatoes and forgot the avocado, it consisted of the vegan sausage, which is gluten-free, on a bed of mostly raw spinach a bit of arugula, no dressing. Who wants to eat a bowl of spinach as is? They got us dressing, which was very sweet, didn’t have olive oil. We added the vegan chorizo and some potatoes. Unfortunately they were out of Just Egg. There are gluten-free bread options. We didn’t have them hence not sure that they are vegan. This entire area isn’t great for vegans. Quite disappointing.

This has been my go-to place for years! Living within walking distance, my boyfriend and I come here pretty often, and always have a wonderful time and great experience; the vibes are always amazing. The owners are incredibly kind, as well as all of the waitstaff. They serve his favorite eggs benedict in the 757, as well as an amazing breakfast burrito! If you want a great breakfast or brunch experience, this is the place for you! ❤️
