This place literally charges triple price for Aldi food.The apartment building it's located inside of has a crazy roach problem.which is also where you have to go to use a bathroom basically a elderly living place stinks and is disgusting to have to leave my table and step over there completely out of the location(you have to be buzzed in to an apartment complex to even go pee)...also no parking.Food was tasteless trash.The lady at the front was nice really the only positive about the place.
Was empty but I had a nice meal with my friends. Would recommend 100 percent.
Definitely A Diamond š In The Ruff...This Spot is Tucked Away Inside An Apartment Bldg...However I had The Chicken & Waffles š§, Hubby Had The Mushroom š Egg š„ Omelet which was both freshly prepared. The environment was peaceful and quiet. Definitely recommend and will visit again for the Taco š® Selctions they offer....
I love this place th hot chocolate is super good and so was food
First Timer. Great customer service, friendly atmosphere, good prices & amazing food.
Small menu, good eats, and comfy vibes
Never disappointed here. This is one of the best brunch options in the area. Warm and friendly staff, unique and traditional menu items. I always eat too much when I come here. Caribbean eggs Benedict and brunch burger are always great choices. Great spot to bring family or a friend to chat over brunch. NOTE: This is not a bougie-girl-time-with-mimosas type brunch spot. It's a different causal vibe but does not disappoint.

This restaurant is in an unassuming housing building. The entrance is on the left side of the building up some steps. There are no signs from the street indicating that thereās a restaurant here. They do have a little sign right by the door which isnāt really noticeable unless youāre walking up the steps.
The place is very small, only seats about 10 tables. There was a wait when we arrived, so we put our name and phone number down and walked around outside. They never called or texted, but we went back inside and were seated right away. The place had basically emptied out.
Got the creme brĆ»lĆ©e French toast which though good, didnāt really make me think of creme brĆ»lĆ©e. It was just a bit of custard. I was expecting like a caramelized layer as well.

Wifey got the apple cider french toast and I got the caribbean benedict. We shared the chips and salsa. We were both amazed at how incredible our food was. The staff is super friendly. Can't wait to go back!

The food is very tasty and the place is cute. However, the service was not great. We had a table of 6 and after 5 of us received our dishes, it took an extra 20 minutes for our last guest to receive their dish. The dish was mole chicken and waffles. The unique part of the dish that separated it from their regular chicken and waffles was their mole sauce. However, when the dish came, there was barely any mole sauce. Additionally, there were no options for dairy-free creamers/milk for coffee. Lastly, we waited a very long time to receive any service. We asked for water and waited again 20 minutes until we had to walk up to the front to ask. When we walked to the front, the servers were just standing by the desk. No one checked on us throughout the meal. We wanted to order another to-go dish but since no one checked on us, we had to go to the front again to put the order in. We were then informed that they were closing soon but they could still make it. If we had been checked on throughout our stay, we would have been able to order our to-go order much sooner. At the end of service, we had to go to the front to ask for the check and when we received it, the tip was included. We were a little irritated as we did not think the service was worth the 20% tip included on the check. Overall, the food was good but the service definitely needs work.

The food here is always good. Taking two stars off for my recent service here though. Our server was not attentive at all. I asked for a high chair for my son, 20 minutes later our server still didnāt bring it. I had to get it myself. We had a to-go order and usually this means that the food is being prepared near the end of our meal, that did not happen. We had to wait an extra 30 minutes for that. On top of our order taking longer to make it to our table. We tried to get his attention for the check, he looked right past us. My husband had to walk up to him to request it. I donāt like when places add a mandatory 20% tip (on all orders, there were only 4 of us) because some servers donāt feel like they have to provide good service knowing they will still get a tip. My advice is to order to go, thatās what Iāll be doing from now on. Shame.

Excellent place for breakfast and lunch. I had the best chicken taco ever here. Perfectly balanced birria chicken taco served with two sauces. I also tried the creme brulee french toast... impressive. Definitely coming back here to try more food.
