Really enjoyed their fried chicken and gravy. We also ordered the French toast which came with jam which was also delicious.

We stopped to get some desserts as we saw a TikTok showing and amazing looking slice of cake. We got the salted peanut butter chocolate cake and a chocolate chip cookie. The cookie was very good the chocolate cake well we were super disappointed the cake tasted terrible it was so eggy tasting like the sugar and vanilla were forgotten. Hopefully it’s a one off.

Dead plants outside, qr code menu, mid cinnamon roll and the mint beet spritz beverage barely tasted of beets. I won't be returning nor would I recommend this establishment.

Pretty good. But I’m not feeling it’s any extra good than other brunch places.

Been here more times than I can count and it feels like the service quality is deteriorating. The hostess was wonderful (as all have been) but other staff seem robotic/disassociated. At no point did anyone ask me how my meal was or extend any other similar extensions of standard service.

I love their desserts so much and ordered a slice of chocolate cake for dessert-- the server brought it out with with two pieces of human hair on the frosting. He was apologetic and took it away, but brought back another slice (the same one?) with ANOTHER PIECE OF HUMAN HAIR. Once is a mistake, twice is negligence. The server offered to get the manager on call who handled the situation really well and should be complimented, but c'mon...

The farm salad with the side of salmon is always perfect. The salted PB chocolate cake is my favorite cake of all time.

The food was average — the beef sandwich was overly salty, while the pizza and salad were acceptable. What really disappointed me, though, was the service. We arrived at 10:50 a.m. for breakfast, but received no greeting and waited about 20 minutes before being seated, even though plenty of tables were open. Once seated, no one came over to take our order or check on us, so we ended up scanning the QR code and ordering online ourselves. I couldn’t find the breakfast menu online, so I asked an employee, who informed me that breakfast ends at 11 a.m. We ended up ordering a few items from the lunch menu instead.

What bothered me most was the inconsistency — while we were eating, I saw the table next to us being warmly greeted and offered assistance with ordering, something we never received. The contrast really highlighted how poor our experience was.

The first time I went here my friend and I disliked it a lot. The second time and further I’ve loved it. Don’t get the cake here it’s too huge and sweet and dry. Drinks are not very good either, way too sweet and matcha is laughably bad. (Sorry). Brunch and lunch is where they shine IMO. All their savory foods are amazing. They also shorted me the first time I went, I ordered and paid for something that was more expensive, like 5.50, then they told me they were out despite my payment going through & substituted something like worth $4, but i didn’t get any money back. That was bad service.

Seeing all good reviews, we decided to try this restaurant. Had 30 min wait on Saturday afternoon, you can avoid wait by getting into their wait-list which seems handy. Chicken sandwich was good. Fried chicken had some cucumber and fried chicken, wasn't appetizing and didn't taste well. Veg sandwich was let down, boiled sweet potato in bread. Bit pricy for all the fanfare. Better sandwich at homegrown or even Panera. We saw good reviews for cakes so thought of giving their chocolate one a try. Sadly it was stale and stale cakes from PCC taste lot better. Overall bit let down and didn't seem to justify all great reviews.

Parking around the restaurant is limited and sometimes requires creativity to find a spot. There is almost always a wait for to-go orders and indoor seating is limited. The seating feels packed at times, especially on the weekends. I've tried a wide variety of items from the menu and have never been disappointed. The sandwiches and veggie side dishes are absolutely amazing!

Awesome little place tucked away. I found it by accident, what a treat! I got an 8oz oat milk latte and the salmon, both were so good. The salmon was amazing, here's a picture!
