We popped in by chance and ended up having a wonderful and delicous brunch! The atmosphere and the service is inviting. The portions are huge, but with the excellent plating and the deliciousness, it is not difficult to leave the plate empty.

A beautiful breakfast restaurant, with tasteful plant decor and a trendy, but cozy vibe. We visited the restaurant on a weekend, so I put my name on the waitlist online. I recommend doing this during peak times... This helped a lot, since it was a packed! The food was tasty & our server was friendly. The service was fairly fast considering how busy the restaurant was. We’ll be back for sure!

Went here with my mom and sister and the service was absolutely amazing and food was so good. Our server Daphne was so sweet and kind and gave me advice on what drinks to get. Our hostess was really nice too. The atmosphere is so great and it’s very clean, we got greeted when we came in and even when we left. Lots of parking spaces and overall really great place and would definitely be coming back here!

Food was really good! This is my second time ordering the avocado toast. Their lattes are also delicious. Not just the food, but the interior is beautiful, and our server Lana was very friendly and enhanced the whole experience. Will be back again!

The food was delicious, calm atmosphere, good portions, and wonderful service. Our toddler was a bit fussy from being hungry, so the staff brought him a complimentary bowl of Cheerios to get him started. We look forward to coming back soon!

Long wait on a Good Friday, but it’s totally worth it. We love their smoothies, and kids love their rainbow pancake. Waffle is crispy outside and soft inside. Benedict is very good as well. Staffs are friendly and nice. Coffee is just ok. But smoothies really the best!!

Great breakfast restaurant, with lots of hearty options to choose from. I had the waffle and fruits and could not be more satisfied. They even offer freshly pressed orange juice! Consider wearing loose pants as the plates are plentiful and scrumptious
