About

Dandy operates as a sophisticated bistro that emphasizes the intersection of artisanal culinary techniques and market-driven ingredients. The interior design reflects an industrial aesthetic characterized by high ceilings and expansive windows that illuminate the open dining area. Menu offerings focus on elevated classic dishes, featuring thick-cut sourdough toasts topped with seasonal produce and house-made ricotta. The kitchen consistently utilizes fresh, locally sourced components to construct balanced plates that favor structural simplicity over complex plating. Patrons experience a lively atmosphere where the focus remains strictly on the quality of the prepared food and the functionality of the workspace. This establishment balances the casual nature of a market-inspired café with the technical precision of a focused bistro kitchen. Every element, from the beverage selection to the curated seasonal vegetables, demonstrates a commitment to ingredient-led preparation methods.

I would have given 5 stars but the chicken in the sandwich was bland, the bun & condiments made it good, but as they put 2 pieces of Chicken in it I was eating it alone & found it to be tastless. Service was great, pancakes were great coffee was very nice all in all a great experience... just need to add a little salt to the chicken.

What an amazing brunch spot! 5/5 & not even exaggerating. Yes you have to wait in line since it's super popular. Be there early, they open at 10 & there's already a line. We ordered the fried chicken sandwich, fingerlings potatoes & the ricotta pancakes. Everything is so delicious & made to perfection! The waiter was friendly & sweet. The maple lattes were pretty yummy too. It's definitely one of my favorite brunch spots. Will come back to try other items.

Excellent food & coffee! The ricotta pancakes are the best pancakes I've ever had & the chicken sandwich (with additional egg) was really good.

Overall great experience. Nothing stood out as bad. However, besides the chicken sandwich, the other dishes (especially with the overly thick & crusty sourdough) were uninspired. Bread to toppings ratios were lopsided. The flavours did not complement exceptionally well, although the ingredients were fresh & high-quality. Would MAYBE come back for the other dishes.

Don't judge this place by what you see.
This is high quality fresh food.
Split the crispy chicken sandwich & salad.
Both great.
I don't usually rave about a salad but this was special.
We wanted to go back & couldn't make it.
Put this one on your list.
I'm definitely going back.
Almost forgot the extremely friendly service.
