Came to have brunch for my sister's birthday. Our first time. Everything was great, loved the natural lighting and atmosphere. Service was a little slow to order, and for water but as soon as we placed our orders, it came out within 15-20 minutes. Maybe we went on a day where there was no AC or maybe they were trying to not turn on the AC and just rely on fans, but it was kind of humid inside 😅 and maybe because it was hot that day....overall, we enjoyed our first time...

I really liked the vibe, and our server was wonderful! It gets busy on weekends! We ordered the Banh Mi Eggs Benedict with hash browns and the Blueberry Pancake. The Banh Mi was delicious, though a bit on the salty side. The pancake was more like an actual cake—an interesting experience, but not my favorite. The hash browns were fantastic, though! The coffee was good, and the mimosas were decent. Overall, it was an okay experience.

Went here for brunch with a friend. The place looked great, but it was pricier than I expected. I wasn’t super hungry, so I went with what looked like the cheapest thing on the menu—a plain buttermilk pancake. My mistake. If I had checked the reviews first, I would’ve known what I was in for.

I didn’t love it, but honestly, I’m not sure what I expected—it was just a big (extra thick) plain pancake. Everything else I saw coming out of the kitchen...
