The food was amazing! Never had Ube French toast before & it was amazing. Reasonably priced brunch drinks too! Will have to visit again next time in California!

Over priced for the food quality and quantity. Coffee latte was served cold, and the ham and cheese omelette was deli ham wrapped in a thin egg omelette. 1/3 of the plate was covered with a spring salad . For $73 for a breakfast for two it was underwhelming to say the least.

The place is amazing. I decided to eat here for a field trip. The environment is very chill, the people were nice, and the food. I absolutely devoured the plate because of how light and fresh it was.

Hands down a great experience!At first I thought it was a bit pricey for brunch but unlike many places, it is well WORTH IT.We got the Nashville Chicken Sandwich and the Popping Yolk burger, and were highly impressed.The portions were large which included the best roasted potatoes and regular garden salad. My boyfriend visiting from Ireland said those were the best potatoes he’s had since visiting lolEverything was seasoned well and the burger was cooked just right. The staff were friendly and helpful, you order before you sit down.I went purposely on a rainy day and there was plenty of seating around 1:00pm in the afternoon. The menu selection was great, will definitely want to try one of the Benedict’s on my next visit. Will definitely come back again!

The only good thing about this place is the potatoes and crushed ice! Who seves fish salad with there American breakfast. Way to far with the fusion. Omg don't get the salmon omelet. The most disgusting thing I have ever had and I love salmon and all see food. So expensive for disgusting food.Gross never again!!!

I was caught off guard, I thought this place was going to be all about eggs....back to that in a minute.My Initial surprise was that it's fast casual dining, so you order at the counter when you first walk in and seat yourself. Since I was unfamiliar with this establishment and the menu, I felt pressured to not hold the line up behind me and I ended up ordering something that was more like dessert rather than breakfast.Had the Berries Farm Liege Waffle, not even sure what "Liege" is, but this dish will satisfy your sweet tooth. It was very sweet with the sauce, whipped cream and a dollop of ice cream on top of this pyramid of waffles.I was really in the mood for breakfast, so I'll have to come back and give it another try.

Found this cute breakfast spot in Pasadena with a decent size dog friendly patio. You buy your food inside, they give you a number and you sit wherever you want. Easy peasy! Generous food portion. I had the smoked salmon omelette and my husband got the yolk burger. Nice and fast service. My OJ was 16oz, of pure OJ! No ice added! Loved it. Reminded me of my Europe vacation. Very sweet oranges. You must order it!

Been to this place 2 times, the service is fast and the omelets are a bit pricy but are very heart portions (salad and breakfast potatoes)

The manager here threaten to "remove" my wife's belongings from the table. The crime? She waited for other diner to finish, sat down to an empty table, then waited in line to order the food.Apparently the rule is that you order your food before you can sit down?This is a self service restaurant. There were a lot of people. What do you expect diners to do if you ordered food with no place to sit? You either provide table service and manage the tables and parties or they are first come first serve--like any self service dining establishments would be.Please do not reply with yet another "we'll do better next time" template response. Try to actually train your people better in customer service and look at the whether your rules make sense to the general public.

We had brunch here today and let me tell you, the food was outstanding. 2 of us had the Nashville hot chicken with eggs Benedict, potatoes and salad and 1 had veggie egg omelette with potatoes and salad. The Nashville option was very very well paired with everything on the muffin it was beyond delicious. Nothing was greasy, fried chicken was very tasty and the potatoes were not greasy and really tasty. The egg veggie omelette my friend had was delicious and the spinach and mushrooms and avocados were super fresh and tasty. The flavors just come together in your mouth and create this spectacular flavor. I haven't had such awesome brunch in years. The service was great, very attentive and free refills with coffee or iced tea. The cafe itself is open and bright and comfy booth seating or tables and chairs, great vibe. I want to come back and try their other eggs Benedict options! They have so many and they all sound yummy! The prices are kinda high, but when you treat yourself from time to time it's ok. Definitely a must try!

I have a big problem with the way that they do their ordering/seating. The restaurant is so packed so when we arrived, one of us went to reserve a table by sitting down to save the spot. When we did this, a staff member told us this wasn't allowed, even though this wasn't indicated anywhere. This is such a weird concept to give people table numbers but not to let people sit down and save a table for their group? We did it anyways... obviously. I am not going to follow made up rules just so someone who got here after me can get a table first... strange. Food was fine and reasonably priced. I will not be coming back because I am not from this country. If I did come back to this country, I certainly wouldn't come here.
