Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend the chicken waffles cordon blue! Iced chai was perfect, hot poured over ice as it should be. We were so full we had some leftovers to bring home! Can’t wait to come back. Sitting outside or by the open windows is a must!

Stumbled here while looking for a breakfast place- first of all it has a cute Parisian setup. The service is prompt. We ordered a latte with baklava pancakes and Shakshuka. Everything was fantastic. Fresh ingredients and perfectly cooked. Portions generous but very appropriate. Can’t wait to return and try more of the menu.

Cute brunch spot and very accommodating of large groups. We walked in with 8 people and they were able to seat us within 10 minutes. Food was good but a bit misleading, as I thought Benny would be same as an eggs Benedict.

My family and I went out to eat with my son who is 17 months. We sat outside and we were offered a high chair. The customer service was great. Everyone was very friendly and they kept checking in on us. The food is a little pricey but good.

Highly recommend this place for brunch. We expected to have to wait for a table but we were seated almost immediately by someone who looked to be the owner of this restaurant. He was very attentive and seemed very friendly with many of the customers who were dining here. We ordered their steak sandwich and smoked salmon toast, both of which were mind blowingly good. The steak sandwich was hefty and portion size was insane. Waiters gave us extra napkins without us asking (how attentive!!). Will definitely be returning!

I went with my mother for brunch. The food was pretty good and the presentation was pretty. The restaurant is extremely close quarters when it comes to seating. Also, there wasn't a notice that lemonade refills cost extra, so that wasn't a good surprise when the bill came. Other than that the experience was pretty good and the food was good. If it's nice, I would recommend sitting outside.

Food and service both great! We got a really nice table by the window but unfortunately it was very noisy and there was a strange smell emanating from outside but we enjoyed our brunch nonetheless. Clean bathroom too!
