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.
I got the salmon toast, I was worried it might be a small portion but it was huge & worth the price. Very delicious, the veggies pair nicely with the salmon. Refreshing veggies with a savoury smoked salmon flavour.
The food is excellent & flavorful & you get big plates for your money. We were there for a bachelorette brunch & the atmosphere was really lovely. The service is great too. I would definitely go back!

Recommended but only if the line is short then go ahead & wait for it, otherwise go somewhere else. Food is good & service is nice but overall is not worth the time of waiting.
Une attente de 1h40 pour des plats décevants, les oeufs pochés durs & froids ainsi que les oeufs miroirs. Des portions trop petites & un service dépassé & trop lent. Peut être parce que c'est dimanche matin & qu'on est une famille de 4 personnes, mais la déception est grande, on ne reviendra plus ici!
I was surprised to see a lineup at 9:30 on a Sunday. We were seated very quickly by our enthusiastic server. Everyone enjoyed their generous meals & tasty coffee drinks.
Good vibes all around. Bathrooms could've been cleaner.
Buzzing place! Decor was nice. I like the idea of having a small & simple menu but as a lover of brunch, it left more to be desired. Seating also felt very cramped. I know lots of people love this place, but I personally can't justify standing in line for the food we had.
Service très efficace. Beaucoup de monde à servir & une organisation irréprochable. Ça manque le côté chaleureux mais considérant le travail qu'ils doivent accomplir ils n'ont pas trop le temps.
La tartine avocat est très bonne. J'ai été un peu frustré de la quantité de salade que j'ai eu en accompagnement. Mais c'était savoureux.
L'endroit est peu bruyant, mais la encore, ça témoigne de leur succès.
Je suis satisfait de cette découverte.
Wonderful place & great service. Definitely will go back to try other choices. We tried the 32 piece sushi platter for lunch & it was filling & delicious!
