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.

A little bit of a wait to get seated but very worth it. We had a very nice breakfast here, with absolutely excellent service.

We had a smoked salmon sandwich & an Endless Summer Breakfast. The server was very attentive & understanding with a good allergy we brought up which was great to see.

I ate the endless breakfast & while it was a bit different than what I'd normally eat (not a fan of tomatoes or cucumbers), it was delicious. I really enjoyed it & would 100% eat it again.

Great start to the day & also a great Tira Misu coffee to get going for a full day or activity too.

We ended up in dandy on a fluke because we had a food crawl to go to but wanted a matcha latte. & that was probably the best matcha latte i've had!!! We just got pastries but they were delish as well! & we didn't realize the line up this place had but we were first in line!

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.

Very cute interior, food was decent. A bit on the pricey end. Make sure you get there early or else you will be waiting to get a table.

My wife & tried both the endless summer breakfast & ricotta pancakes. Both were outstanding. I'd recommend to anyone!

We've been waiting to try this place for a long time after hearing so many good reviews. We only had the pancakes to share for dessert & it was very disappointing. The pancakes were mushy & spongy, & there was fried bits under the dough of something bitter. The sauce & strawberry's are good but that's it. It costed 34$ for the pancakes. Would definitely not recommend unfortunately.

What a great surprise. Short brunch menu. Bright & airy, friendly staff, & the best fried chicken sandwich in the world.

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.
