The wagyu carne asada was well-seasoned. My only problem was the spiciness of the roasted jalapeño that came with my entree; it was a bit too spicy for me. I also purchased the blueberry muffin and the iced hibiscus drink. The muffin was nice and sweet, but the beverage I ordered was bland.

First time diner here for breakfast with my wife. Very unique place , as they do automatic 15% gratuity but you have no waiter. Wife and I ordered breakfast items such as eggs bacon and potatoes as well as wife got specialty coffee and I got drip coffee. The busser drops off your food and does not return. No one check if you need more coffee or water. When asked for a refill on the DRIP COFFEE , They advise they will charge for a whole new coffee. No refill on drip coffee when dining in. 65$ bill and no service at the table. Never return , there is better places to dine in Birmingham where you actually get table side service.

Food is way overpriced for what it is. Ordered a egg sandwich with salad and it was $18 for just a plain overeasyegg and cheese on a sandwich. My fiance purchased a brussel sprout omolette only for it to be super basic compared to how it was described. Wouldnt come again for food but maybe pastries and coffee

Best place for brunch in Birmingham. Everything is delicious from the French toast, macarons, banana bread, matcha. Lots of seating available. Long line moves pretty fast. Only recommend to offer halal options!

My husband and I discovered this gem a couple years ago and have visited at least a dozen times. I can honestly say we have not once been disappointed. A good vegan brunch is tough to come by in the metro-Detroit area and we are grateful for their commitment to continue to offer delicious vegan options.

The shiitake mushroom Omelete was not that great missing seasoning and very bland. I got it with Egg whites instead of whole egg, Eggs seems to be steamed rather than fried.
Awesome food and menu options! I had their carrot cake pancake and it was amazing.
They have a monthly menu to keep you coming for new amazing flavors. I also had their sweet potato soup which was very good. Also make sure to try their loose leaf Tea selection.

Bit on expensive side, mandatory 15% tip at the register. Only reason for the 4-star rating.

Good coffee and tasty food. The line is long, but once you have ordered, you are seated right away.
