La nourriture est faite avec amour ! Elle a du goût !
Tous les sandwiches que j'ai essayés avaient une saveur délicieuse !

c'est presque toujours très plein, je recommande donc d'être patient avec le personnel, car ils sont vraiment très occupés.
Ils restent toujours aimables.
Quand nous avons commandé à emporter, le service a été rapide.

Meilleur brunch en ville. La bouffe est complètement démente & absolument délicieuse & les portions sont très généreuses. Service impeccable & chaleureux, prix raisonnables. Bref, je ne vois pas la pertinence d'aller bruncher ailleurs. Seul petit hic: l'endroit peut être un peu bruyant car très populaire & plutôt exigüe. Mais c'est pas une raison pour s'en priver!

Accueil extraordinairement sympathique qui a fait oublier le temps d'attente (salle pleine), repas vegan absolument divin (qui explique... la salle pleine !). Soupe Guantánamo, burritos au tofu, végé-pâté en sandwich au pain portugais, vin rouge, smoothy au lait d'avoine etc. TOUT ÉTAIT EXQUIS !

Adorable little spot with lots of personality & charm. Very cozy! Feels like you're having breakfast at your friends house. Excellent service by William: he's quick, funny & knows how to help an indecisive customer. The food is amazing. I had the classic omelette with chorizo & it's probably the best omelette I've ever had.
There was a bit of waiting time, but they're very organized by using Yelp Waitlist.

Great experience overall & will definitely come back :)

Great place with exceptional service, vibe, & ambiance. The coffee was excellent, however, the food could be better seasoned. Highlight: toasted bread with butter.
