The hostess was too kind to welcome us, the food is delicious! Only the cappuccinos are a bit small compared to other places, the place is clean and the atmosphere is nice. ?

How have a never eaten here until today? Josh is great! Food is pretty incredible. The Saturday-only chocolate French toast is made in heaven, I'm sure. Fresh juices are all great. The blends were the best!

Their pancakes are superb almost all of them are accompanied with the vanilla bean cream. Their pumpkin pancakes were what made me a loyal customer, but with out the Maple inside this is the only place I'll eat pancakes from. The also have a gluten free version.

Have come here a number of times over several years and it has always been consistent in terms of service, atmosphere and quality of food. Love the variety of dishes they offer for Sunday brunch. It's no secret, the Bongo Room has been and continues to be a "go to" place!

We enjoyed a marvelous breakfast here on a weekday afternoon. The space is inviting and relaxing, with lovely art on the walls. The staff was welcoming. Our server perfectly balanced giving us attention and allowing us privacy.My husband loved the Vegetarian Breakfast Croissant. Just the right mix of flavors and textures, especially with the basil mayo. The house potatoes were nicely spiced with no bitterness in the skin of these red potatoes.I loved the White Chocolate and Caramel Pretzel Pancakes. Such a delicious combination. And there was plenty of sauce for every bite to be a treat.They do add a surcharge to cover the cost of using a credit card. So, if you're paying cash, be sure you mention this to your server.
Vegetarian options: The Breakfast menu has the most vegetarian options. With their emphasis on food that is freshly prepared, they don't have plant-based (ultra-processed) proteins available at this time.

Enjoyed my selection, some at the restaurant and the rest later in the day (it was a lot!). The weather was cold the day we went, so if it's cold the next time I go there, I won't sit so close to the front window.
Parking: There are free spaces on the side of the building, maybe 20. So I guess whether you could park in one of them would depend on what day and time you go.
