Very good spot for breakfast. We had the Eggs Benedict Chelsea and the chicken & waffles both were really good. The portions were generous, and everything was delicious. For the price, it’s honestly a great deal. They also offered a complimentary cinnamon bun, which was also really tasty. The place is beautiful and clean. No wait time on Saturday 11 am.

Ordered the Papa’s Spicy Dumpling Soup, Falafel Salad, and Mississippi Mud Pie. The dumplings and broth in the soup were SO flavorful, the falafels were bursting with flavor, perfectly baked and seasoned, and the mud pie was not too sweet, the perfect blend of richness and creaminess!

The shakshuka was pretty good, but the chicken & waffles and the eggs benedict was just okay. Perhaps the custom salads would have been better (and easier/faster for them to prepare).
