I love this place. I’ve been here before just for cocktails, but it’s my first time trying the brunch. and everything was amazing!
The vibe is obviously great, and the staff were super friendly. The food and coffee were both delicious. Definitely coming back! 💛

The staff was very friendly and the woman on shift was working very hard. Impressively so I might add. She really made an effort to help me with my order.
Unfortunately they were unable to accommodate my allergies. I ordered a sandwich. I’m not sure if it was cross contamination or if there was some pesto unintentionally added to the mayo (I’ll never really be sure) but after one tiny test bite I became itchy from head to toe. Hot flashes are hard to ignore. Unfortunately with anaphylaxis, restaurant food is a game of Russian roulette. If I had gone for it and taken a big bite I would probably not have been able to write this review. A good reminder to bring my EpiPen to breakfast.

I’m sure the food is good here, the vibe is great for sure. The bar looks great. The server was relatively understanding of my situation. I don’t think there was full comprehension of how serious this situation could have been. (Which at no reflection of this restaurant, is a very common scenario for me. I travel for work so to my chagrin, this happens at least once a week. I have also worked in both front and back of house in multiple restaurants in the past. It happens. It’s totally my liability when I send a modified ticket to the kitchen.)
I would suggest caution if you have severe allergies at all restaurants. This sort of thing happens even with diligence. All that to say I am unable to review the food. 5 stars otherwise.

Food is exceptional, but not extraordinary. However the portion size for the price plus tip is questionable. Ill try something different next time I suppose.

Beautiful restaurant, food and staff. We arrived shortly after opening on a Saturday morning. Everything about it felt high class New Yorkish, including the upbeat jazz.

I’ve been wanting to try poached for a long time but usually it’s so busy with a long wait and I’m too hungry to bother.

This past weekend though we managed to get in when there wasn’t too many people at the time.

The decor and ambiance here is great. It’s cute, well decorated and very hipster. Good vibes. Small location. Parking is street parking.

The menu is… small. It must change regularly because I had been craving French toast or something sweeter, but all they had available was a cinnamon bun breakfast which I figured was TOO sweet. Otherwise it was all savoury.

I started with the black cherry latte. It was incredible- it tasted like black Forrest cake which is my fav.

Then, I picked eggs Benny. However I realized that the menu only specified the one item. It has Gruyère and some dill. Looked great In photos. On speaking to the server I was informed there is no sides. So be wary of this. I had to ask for a side of potatoes and I asked for a side of their maple bacon roll up’s.

Don’t get me wrong. The food was incredible. Each item was tasty and delicious. However the ratio of food to price was questionable. I’m not a cheap person, but when I go out for tasty food I’d like to have more than just a sample portion.

I also was a bit disappointed that I didn’t get the ketchup I’d asked for.

The meal was good, just pricey for what you got since you need to add so much to it.

I probably won’t return unless it’s a special occasion someone else is dead set on.
Maybe I’m not that fancy of a person after all.

I love this spot for breakfast. It's an adorable and quaint restaurant with professional and friendly service. Pictured here are the breakfast plate with chicken & spinach sausage, poached eggs, potatoe croquettes (perfectly cooked) and the herb hollandaise sauce; the French toast with cinnamon apples layered and a side of back bacon; and a cinnamon latte. Delicious and perfectly portioned.
