Visiting from Chicago area, brunch is a common thing at CT restaurants. We were looking for lunch. Luckily there were many options and what we ordered was delicious. The chicken biscuit sliders were yummy and the breakfast burrito was fresh and tasty. The place is very clean and has a fun vibe.

Everyone we encountered was not only friendly but also clearly worked together seamlessly. You could feel the teamwork in how smoothly everything ran — service was attentive without being intrusive, and everyone seemed genuinely happy to be there.

Now, let’s talk about the food. I can confidently say that...
