Food and drinks were really good, service not so much.We will give it another chance, maybe our server was having a bad day.We ate outside on their covered parklet, which was really kind of cozy and cute, we had our dog with us.
My partner and I stopped in here for a light dinner. We had a few cocktails and tried the charcuterie board and Margarita flatbread pizza. We really enjoyed everything we tried and had an amazing night. We will definitely be coming back here for date nights.
Decent food but the service was terrible !!! Waited ages to be served even though it was not even 1/3 full. Rude waiter. Rather spend your money somewhere

Played trivia with a group of friends. Fun, but took a while between rounds. Very small place so pretty crowded.Great food! Warm olives were a pleasant surprise. Hummus delight. Goat cheese was fabulous!Great service!
They have live music, trivia nights, paint nights, brunch, lunch dinner and drinks! They also serve coffee into the evening, which is nice because all the other cafes in town close early. They have a nice dog-friendly outdoor patio and great cocktails! Great wine selection, amazing cocktails and super friendly staff. It's a great palce to bring a date, or even take your family.

I've only ever ordered from Preacher's Daughter once early in the pandemic, but decided to give it a second chance today since my partner has never tried it. We made a short pit stop here around 10:30-11ish for a small brunch and opted to sit outdoors since it was nice and sunny. They have a good amount of seats both indoors and outdoors.Between my partner and I, we decided to share a Buddha Bowl and added Lox to it, and a vegan Snickerdoodle. Originally, I wanted to try their seasonal scone, but they sure ran out quick! Hopefully we get to try them next time. I also got an Ube Latte w/ Almond Milk (other non-dairy milk options are available), and my partner got a glass of Grapefruit Juice. My Ube Latte was not bad! Color wise, it's not as purple as I thought it would be, but that's a good sign in my opinion. My partner thought it has a pretty strong Ube taste. I, on the other hand, thought the coffee flavor was stronger than the Ube, but it still comes through! I liked that their Ube Latte came steaming hot. It got too sweet for me in the end, so if I ever come back, maybe I'll ask to adjust the sweetness of that's an option. As for the Buddha Bowl, for one, it's a good size light meal. For two, it's a small snack, haha. The bowl was refreshing, and the balsamic glaze added a nice contrast. There were a good amount of all ingredients and the veggies were pretty fresh! I can see why it's a popular item. Lastly, the vegan Snickerdoodle! This was a perfect little sweet snack! It was crispy on the outside, but chewy on the inside. The only way I can describe the taste of this Snickerdoodle is that it as a hint of burnt cinnamon, in a good way. All in all, we enjoyed our little brunch here and would certainly come back to try some other menu items. As we didn't stay for too long, I can't say much about the service since there wasn't too much interaction, but staff seemed nice from what I can gleam!

Stop by this spot for Saturday brunch. Quant place with a patio. I did enjoy the laid back feel. I had this delicious croissant with Nutella and strawberries with a couple mimosas (I was there for the drinks!) as I watched my friends get their food, everything was plated so beautifully. It looked tasty and was good. Stay ways from the tap water at this spot. I didn't care for the smell. The waitress brought us a bottle of sparkling water and it was good.
Was looking forward to coming here after seeing such positive reviews on Yelp. We came for Sunday brunch and sat outside. Ambiance outside was in a parklet and pretty good, clean, and cute. Our dog came with us and our nephew. They only have 2 high chairs in the restaurant and both were in use so we couldn't get one. The server came and took our drink orders and food orders. We had a party of 6 adults and 1 kid. We asked if our dog could have some water and she never came back with any and wasn't sure if there was a dog bowl. After we ordered, we waited almost 1 hour before our food to come. The server never came to refill our water, service was spotty and we all had empty glasses after sitting outside for an hour. The food itself was okay. We had omelettes and I had the croque madame. Definitely not worth the wait of an hour to make. In the end, we waited so long for our check, I gave up and went inside to pay the bill and get to go boxes. We were automatically charged 20% because of our party of 6 despite the service being pretty awful. I'm not sure if it would be better service inside but I definitely would never come back again for brunch. Maybe their high reviews are more for dinner or the bar. I was pretty disappointed.

On Tuesday this week, I was hunting around an alternative place to eat after learning that Speisenkammer was closed for lunch (until Friday, this time of year). I was so disappointed!Well, The Preacher's Daughter popped up on my Yelp app (it's good, I recommend...lol), so 2 blocks away I went.Parking is a mess with no lot and limited metered street parking. But once inside, it's a "cute as hell" place. A bar-like setting with high-top tables in the front, and on the side, a combo of high-top and standard tables. A decor is a little dated, but it was clean and I liked.For lunch, the menu is filled with salads, sandwiches, flatbreads, coffees, and lots of beers, wines, and cocktails. A special brunch menu with eggs, waffles, scones is offered 2pm. I was disappointed to learn that they offer nothing different for the evening. C'mon, a few entrees wouldn't hurt things. A happy hour menu is offered 3pm-6pm, M-F.I ordered a Farmer's Daughter sandwich [$15, 4.0 stars] -- not offered whole wheat (my preferred), I got it on a nice toasted sourdough. There were things I liked about it: sliced granny smith apples, warm onion-thyme jam, whole grain mustard; but the turkey was good taste but not great, they use packaged already sliced cut. The side salad was only kale and arugula with a lemon vinaigrette, plain yes, but excellent quality and so healthy.I think at this point I would recommend the brunch menu, and/or coming in for drinks later on.PS. Very nice service!

Came here for Sunday brunch with a group of 7, and found that the wait wasn't too long for a typically busy day and time. The space itself is well lit, with high ceilings and lots of room. There are sets of tables and a bar area that can accommodate a variety of different groups. The staff was attentive and helped whenever we had questions about the menu. I ended up trying out the Croque Madame and mimosa flight (guava, pineapple, mango, orange); the Croque Madame was accompanied by a fresh pasta soup. The breakfast sandwich had a nice smooth texture and was packed with flavor and softness! Food might be a little pricey but let's be real, you're paying for quality here. I'd definitely come back again!

My inaugural visit to The Preacher's Daughter....Happy Hour time!Upon entering, I was immediately greeted by Dianah....I queried about appropriate parking locale, and she provided substantive information.I sat at the Bar and was greeted by Juan who accommodated my proclivities since even a Skinny Margarita was still sweet per my tastebuds. He engaged me in a convo about the cocktail ingredients/associated sweetening agents and nuances. The resultant was....drum roll...The Emaciated Margarita...perfection!! I opted for the chicken pate which was superb in presentation AND taste/texture. The accompanying crostini was superlatively crispy!All in all, a highly exemplary experience....yet in retrospect, it occurred to me that said experience went beyond that of a business dispensing consummate customer service....I would characterize it to reflect a more familiar engagement....akin to fellowship / friendship...that additional component of authentic warmth/care.I will be returning....I know....a foregone conclusion!!

Had been wanting to try this place and I'm glad I did. A hidden gem in the neighborhood. Although there were a couple of regular tables, most of the seating were at high-top tables; I guess since it was a wine bar first before a breakfast joint. It was a bit of a challenge with little ones as the table was at their eye level and also making sure they don't slid off the seat. However with that said, it was still a kid friendly spot! The place was casual and chill. We actually met the artist that had their artwork featured at the place. That was cool! Service was ok. Although It took a while for the food to come out, it was delicious! I had the lox crostini and it was wonderful! The toasted crostini had just the perfect crunchiness and packed with flavors. The tomatoes were so fresh! We also enjoyed the croque madame, the 3 egg omelette and the bacon, egg and cheese croissant sandwich accompanied by the smooth and creamy Vanilla and Hazelnut lattes. Oh my.., the ube Bundt cake was scrumptious!!! The caramel drizzle added a touch of sweetness to this deliciousness. This is a must try!
