Reviewers describe Dandy as a stylish, bustling brunch spot with a bright, cozy, Instagram-worthy space and consistently friendly, attentive service. Standouts like ricotta pancakes and the fried chicken sandwich are repeatedly praised, often with generous portions, crispy fingerling potatoes, and rich maple or aioli accents. The menu is seen as inventive but compact, with Endless Summer breakfast, mushroom toast, avocado toast and salads earning praise while a few dishes are viewed as overpriced or not as exciting. Lines and crowds are a common weekend theme, and some guests note loud surroundings and limited seating or no reservations. Coffee and pastries are frequently highlighted as high quality, and the overall vibe is lively yet welcoming. Overall, Dandy is regarded as a top brunch option in the area, delivering memorable dishes and solid service, with most diners willing to return despite the potential for wait times and cost.
Fantastic find! Was looking for a brunch place that was open during the weekdays to meet a friend. The menu is limited but everything on the menu looks great! My friend tried the chicken salad & loved it. I tried the buttermilk chicken sandwich & was surprised to see the size of the sandwich!! The chicken was super crispy & just delicious. Would definitely go back again to try other dishes for my next brunch.
Also the service is very friendly & awesome!
Went for brunch on the weekend. Foods options were limited. Cost & quality of food/execution did not match. Overpriced for the taste & ingredients. Flat white was 6/10.
The food is delicious & fresh ingredients that you can taste immediately upon eating. It was busy as we went during brunch time. However there were no delays in service nor in delivering the delicious food & drinks. I was delightfully surprised at the ricotta pancakes, the chicken sandwich & my breakfast dish.
I agree with another review that the chicken was a surprisingly scrumptious & juicy. Not to mention the unique coffee. The atmosphere it's well lit, clean, spacious & welcoming design. My children & I enjoyed it.

Amazing place for brunch. There's plenty of seating but it gets busy very quickly. We had the mushroom toast, the chicken sandwich, the avocado toast, & the ricotta pancakes. Everything tasted excellent! Service is good too. Coffee was also very good & the pastry is delicious.
The brunch here is amazing although on the pricier side but worth it ! You NEED to get the pancakes !!! Try to reserve in advance so you avoid the insane line.
They have such a unique & delicious brunch, definitely different from anywhere else in town! This was my second visit, & both times I ordered the chicken sandwich, & so good! I'll definitely be coming back again. 🥪✨
I went there for brunch, excited to try a new spot, but left disappointed. I ordered the granola bowl, which was so dry it could have been called the Sahara bowl. The service was friendly & attentive, but unfortunately, the food didn't live up to expectations.
Très bon brunch, les assiettes étaient vraiment succulentes & le menu plus original que la plupart des places à déjeuners!
Seul bémol, l'ambiance est un peu plus froide qu'elle paraît sur les photos.
Mis à part ça le service était très bon.
Dandy's was a wonderful Sunday brunch experience all around! We arrived at the peak time & waited for a short time, but the staff kept busy & the tables turned. The dining area table arrangement was so unique, offering neighborly banter or privacy. We enjoyed brief exchanges with both our neighbors on either sides, which certainly enhanced our positive experience of the restaurant & the city!
The food selection was limited but inclusive of brunch favorites with Dandy's special prep! I ordered the fried chicken sandwich & loved it. I only wished I could have also ordered the pancakes. Two cocktails are included in our final bill, plus gratuity. I thought it was reasonably priced.
The service was attentive, courteous & friendly. I couldn't ask for more.
The food was absolutely incredible, & the service was unmatched. The pancakes were to die for, I would pay 100$ for the pancakes & would wait 40 minutes in line for the food & experience ANY DAY. My fav brunch spot by fa
3 of us sat outside for brunch on a hot day in June. We enjoyed our food. Two of us had the fried chicken (& enjoyed); one added an egg. I ordered ala carte - toast, egg & a side of avocado.
For beverages, we had a passion fruit lemonade (very tasty), iced matcha late & iced tea.
Service was good, if a little slow. The outdoor seating area was small, but comfortable. It was obviously a little loud because of street noise, but having a normal conversation was not a problem.
