About The Bakery

The Place 2 Be is a trendy restaurant that offers a casual dining experience suitable for brunch with friends or family. The decor is cute and encourages guests to take selfies, making it a fun spot for gatherings. The menu includes kid-friendly options, although parents should be aware that the music may contain some cursing.

The food generally receives positive remarks, with standout dishes like the classic eggs Benny and tropical sangria getting particular praise. However, some dishes have been criticized for their temperature and presentation, such as lukewarm home fries and overly breaded chicken. The abundance of arugula as a garnish has also been noted, with some diners finding it excessive.

Service is a mixed bag; while the servers are friendly and efficient when the restaurant is less busy, there have been instances of slow service, especially during busier times. Guests have reported needing to remind staff for drink refills, particularly for bottomless options, which should be refilled every 20 minutes according to the menu.

Overall, The Place 2 Be is a place where diners can enjoy tasty food and drinks, but they may need to exercise some patience with service and temperature issues during peak hours.

Super cute place but not a fan of the ordering on a QR code. I ordered a veggie omelet and got a Greek omelet with cheese and avocado. Did not get the cheese or avocado. The waitress never came over to ask how our meals were. My Chai tea latte was cold. My sisters avocado toast had hardly any avocado on it. It was just very unorganized. The manager did apologize and took 3.00 off the bill but to me that wasn't enough. Crappy experience... had been here once before and it was great....read full review

way too loud, horrible service, they forgot my food and didn't make it until I complained 10 minutes after everyone else at the table had gotten theirs. I understand that food comes out as it's ready, not all at once, but a 10 minute difference is not reasonable. When we asked for my food the waitress treated me condescendingly and acted like I was unreasonable. the music was so loud I couldn't hear my daughter across the table from me, and we were there celebrating her first...read full review
