It's a nice place to share with friends. A dozen of us celebrated a birthday here. The waiter was helpful too.

I went there for my sister's birthday. We were excited to try this place since it's near her house & it looked nice & cozy. The servers were very patient. They allowed us to wait for people who were 45m late. I ordered a chai latter. It was amazing & the cup was to die for. However, the food was really disappointed. The bread was hard & burnt. It was not edible. I had the fried chickens with an egg & salad. The salad was old. I did not eat it. The fried chicken was also hard. It cost me around 28$. The food was not fresh or what you expect for brunch, so it was really disappointing.

March 2024: had the smoked salmon sandwich, was pretty good, just wish they had a bagel option. The fried chicken is kinda more schnitzel style, it was good. Funky coffee with choco rum & the mimosa were nice. Service was pleasant & efficient. Wish they offered their mushrooms as an optional side. December 2023: Great decor, friendly efficient service. Pumpkin spice sour was a pretty good mix of fall spices & whiskey.
