Had an 8:30 breakfast reservation and was promptly told at 9:30 that we would need to leave. There was no attempt to move our party of two to an empty spot at the bar. I have never felt so unappreciated as a guest. Very disappointed and will not be returning.

I was at your restaurant on Sunday with two of my friends. We were talking about how I was going through a hard time and our server, Julie H., was near our table and she just reached over and gave me a hug. No words, just a sweet hug which absolutely made my day. I don't normally write reviews, but I really wanted to let Julie H. know how much that small gesture meant to me. Thank you Julie! :)

Prices were very high for food that is average at best. It was sloppily put together. The pancakes tased like they use artificial vanilla. Eggs were overcooked. Food came at different times. Some items were missed. The atmosphere was nice but I won’t be back.

The environment is very modern with a high-art vibe. Parking is easy to find.
They offer a wide variety of drinks, including many artisan coffee options. I loved the banana bread latte! The menu features plenty of savory and sweet options, and the portions are generous. I ordered the avocado toast, but it came with a lot of pickles, which was unexpected and a bit surprising. After removing some of the pickles, I found it delicious. The Hawaiian bowl looked and tasted amazing! The waitress was very kind and patient.
Overall, I enjoyed the experience and might return when hanging out with friends.

Love the decor and service staff, was good not great but good. I ordered the smashed wagyu burger with hashbrowns and was so disappointed. The burger I believe was precooked that was just microwaved, over cooked with no flavor, just a piece of dried hamburger. No better flavor than cheap hamburger from the grocery store. The hashbrowns came semi cold and fried in an oil that left a not very flavorble taste. The chai latte was great! Paper menus we received were ratty, been used alot. New menus should be printed more often. Definitely will not be going back. For what I paid I don't feel the food is good enough to pay 18.00 to return. Perk Up Kitchen in Bloomington is so much better food for what you pay.

Either the oil is bad (i.e., rancid) or they are using sesame or peanut oil. I smelled it outside of the restaurant and when I ate the hash browns. Ketchup covers the taste of the latter.
Waitstaff is really bad if you can find one. No water refill. No attention. You have to hunt them down to place an order.
The space is aesthetically pleasing but yes it is loud.
Exceptionally loud. One of our plates came out cold. Mimosa was flat. They tried to rectify without success. The blackened cauliflower was not blackened or seasoned as the menu stated. The Vietnamese coffee was not Vietnamese coffee but a sweetened latte with spices disappointing. Service was great. The back room needs work. Would not recommend.

I’ve been to the location in St.Paul multiple times and always had a great experience. Unfortunately this location disappointed. Got the Avocado Toast & Poached Eggs. Felt like a salad on top of mushy toast (there was also semi hard carrots and pickled red onions on it which weren’t mentioned on the menu). Also one egg was not poached, it was pretty much hard boiled. Not a great experience.

I really wanted to like this place but was soo disappointed. Being a breakfast place specifically, I was shocked when we asked for scrambled eggs and the waitress told us they don’t do scrambled eggs or any kind of eggs other than what’s already made in the bowls. We ordered the salmon bagels and it was disappointing. From the weird pickled large veggies in the bagel to the capers sitting on top of the bagels, it was just messy and didn’t taste good at all. We ended up eating a quarter of the food and leaving. The coffee is ok but the food makes it not worth going there at all.

I should’ve read reviews before I ordered! Chicken and waffles was terrible, chicken strips and eggo waffles maybe? Ordered this $16 watered down Bloody Mary that I regretted immediately. Others in our party had better luck but sadly I think this will be my last visit here.
