Great new(ish) brunch spot uptown. A modern twist with a great menu, very tasty breakfast and brunch items, juices and more.

Excellent. The biscuits (5/5) are scrumptious and the biscuit and gravy (5/5), and the crawdaddy (5/5) are incredibly good. The biscuits are buttery flaky and not dry, the gravy is packed with sausage and is creamy and savory. The crawdaddy's fried chicken was extremely juicy, crispy (even tho it was takeout), and very tasty. The crawfish sauce was also umami packed. One of the best brunch places we went to.

The wait was not as long as I predicted. Upon walking in we were greeted by the welcoming host! The tables were shining from how clean they were. Atmosphere was extremely calm even in the efficiency of staff. Our waitress Melanie, was very kind and steadfast, and gave splendid recommendations. The food was delicious I ordered a crab scramble and a short stack of blueberry pancakes. I have zero complaints to the food. Well seasoned and not overcooked. My mother, ordered banana foster pancakes, and bacon, eggs and potatoes. She likewise had no complaints.

We went to this location for my brother's birthday and it was phenomenal. Our server was incredibly kind and helpful, the service was quick, the food was delicious, and the prices were reasonable. We were also gifted a free bottle of fresh orange juice that was delicious. The *only* complaint I have is that the wait was pretty long and the bench they had outside for seated waiting was wet and they didn't offer any towels or anything to wipe it down so people could sit.

Love this spot for breakfast, brunch or lunch! They are SO accommodating with varying food allergies, such as Gluten Free, Vegan, or Dairy Free. I also love how they do “Good” and “Bad” Cat menu items, just in case you want to eat healthier or indulge!

Dude the food was kinda mediocore. I ordered pancakes and they genuinely taste like nothing. Its mandatory to pay 20% gratatuity in this cafe and theres no way to pay 0%. The staff was rude especially since it was my first time going, and they got upset because i accidentally grabbed the food before they bagged it because j didnt know they put it in bags, then they mentioned me and started talking about how i grabbed my food before they bagged it in a rude tone. The coffee was the only good thing to be honest.

Great food but the 20% auto gratuity shouldn’t be there on to go orders. Tips have gotten out of hand everywhere. Yes I’m a tipper on all orders but a pick up order tip shouldn’t be almost the same as a dine in. You’re not bringing food and drinks to the table. Also don’t even have to clean tables on to go orders!

The pancakes were delicious. Great vibe and a great breakfast option. The reason I gave it four stars instead of five are as follows: It’s a bit on the pricier side for “breakfast”. They had this touchpad setup instead of an actual hostess (I know that’s picky but it’s my opinion). Finally they add an automatic gratuity to your bill for a party of two. I usually tip well( I know everyone doesn’t) so for me that’s kind of a turn off but not a deal breaker. Will be back.

Overrated. CBD location was extremely loud. I've only eaten breakfast at 2 locations (Uptown and CBD) but both times I was underwhelmed. Was served a hard, burnt biscuit.

Best breakfast place I have ever been too. Everything on the menu is fantastic and the service is always decent. Food is always fresh and delicious. Expect a wait but trust me. It's worth it.
