Funky little place that is perpetually busy for a reason. Their crepes are top-notch, good house-made hot sauce, excellent drink options (red sangria with peach nectar, hello), & the pastel de natas are among the best in little Portugal! Generally try to get here at least once for brunch whenever we're in the city.

Super nice cafe, with great food & amazing service. Hard to pick from the menu but I'd be down to come back & try multiple things. I got the Portuguese platter & my friends go the breakfast sandwiches. Gorgeous interior, & our server was the best. Be ready to wait on the weekend as with any brunch spot, just make sure to add your name on the waitlist before arriving. :)

Très belle découverte pour un brunch ! ☀?
Le service est impeccable, rapide & vraiment accueillant. La diversité du menu est excellente & on sent le petit côté portugais authentique qui rend l'endroit encore plus charmant.
J'ai eu la chance de croiser la propriétaire : super efficace, souriante & attentionnée avec les clients.
Une petite place conviviale que je recommande sans hésitation ! 👌🇵🇹

A really cute spot to grab some brunch, lunch, or drinks with friends. The Portuguese breakfast was hearty & delicious & our server was very friendly. A great family business that you can tell has a lot of history as a cornerstone of the neighborhood. I certainly recommend that you come here if you are in the area.
