Amazing food & service - only downside was the wait time but thats not something they can control! It was really busy too so we waited like 45 minutes to get seated in the blistering heat. But again, not their fault they have a line-up! Good for them. Defs recommend this cute brunch spot.

Had a yummy meal here. One thing: my concern was resolved but I ordered fresh orange juice & initially received watered down not fresh juice. I had to ask twice but it was resolved with fresh juice. Thanks L

Its a very small place with outdoor tables. Although we waited for an hour to get a table outside, but it worth it. We loved the food & staff were lovely & nice. I will recommend this place to everyone😍

Food is fantastic, but they recently increased the prices & my sandwich & salad cost 30$ plus tip. Definitely want to keep going here, but I can't justify spending that much. It isn't worth it. Lovely cafe with very kind staff & delicious food though!

Small hole in the wall. Seems overrated in my opinion. Food was really not that great & service was subpar. We were squished in a corner with barely room to move an inch. I paid 30$ for a latte & a chicken sandwich. Rip off!! There are so many other amazing breakfast spots that do a lot better than this one.
