3.2.24 I would have given this visit a 5, but unfortunately, although my breakfast burrito tasted great, I didn't get it until 25-35 minutes AFTER all my friends got their dishes and finished eating. I have no idea what happened. The waiter apologized and brought our table one cookie to share, to make me feel better. But it was quite uncomfortable to sit there, watch my friends eat, waiting for what was a simple order and seeing 3 other tables get their food. But besides that, the venue has a great ambiance. The baked goods look amazing, and the coffee was served hot and in a huge mug. So all positives there. I'm sure my experience was just a one-off. And no, they didn't take anything 'off' my bill. And that's ok. I'm not one of those people who expects that.

Decided to visit for some French Toast after checking local spots near me but I was very disappointed when I opened them. The bread was super soggy and just tasted like eggs and does not justify the $20 price. I should point out that the workers were nice and welcoming but overall disappointed in the food.

I went in for their fluffy, generous pancakes, remembering them from a year ago. This year, the price had gone up, and the pancakes were thin, tasteless and half the size. Not going back.

Nestled in the heart of town, this bustling brunch spot exudes a vibrant, family-friendly atmosphere. The moment you step inside, the cheerful chatter of children fills the air, creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The establishment boasts a delightful cupcake case, showcasing an array of whimsically decorated treats that immediately capture the attention of both young and old.The menu is a perfect blend of wholesome salads and delectable brunch options, catering to a diverse range of tastes. Families with kids find a haven here, as the menu features child-friendly choices, ensuring even the pickiest eaters leave with satisfied smiles. The colorful decor and playful wall art contribute to the restaurant's kid-centric charm.However, the popularity of this charming brunch spot often leads to a bustling crowd. The wait, though worthwhile, can be a tad lengthy during peak hours. Yet, the vibrant atmosphere and delicious offerings make it a go-to destination for families seeking a delightful brunch experience, making the wait a minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of a memorable dining adventure.

Truly some of the worst service I have ever experienced. I normally don't leave negative reviews, I normally just stop going, but this place takes the cake. Waiting to take something out: This is the first service challenge they have. The person who takes your order gets the food and also makes the coffee. So if you wanted a muffin, and someone before you orders 4 coffees, be prepared to wait 15 minutes to buy an overpriced muffin.We stopped doing this because of how bad the line can get although you might be the second person in line. We thought the dine in service would be better. We went today where there was one other person in the restaurant and ordered. 45 minutes later, and several people who ordered food after we arrived (also, our order was not complicated) and we had to wait 10 minutes to ask the waiter where the food was. He said, "its being plated," and 10 minutes later it showed up. We asked for it to go.Not going to go here again.

Worse dining experience I've had in years. Waited 20 minutes for coffee, 45 minutes for food. Food was freezing when it came out. Staff did not seem to care at all when we expressed our disappointment. We asked several times for ketchup and syrup before they finally brought it.

Such a quaint charming small town luncheon feel. This place has great options for vegetarians, items on the menu for those who like a classic healthy quinoa bowl, or a chicken sandwich, or salad. Great fries too! My only feedback would be to add a nice salmon burger, or vegetarian quesadilla, or salmon sandwich to this great menu! Fun little place on a wonderful strip of shopping, coffee, juice and retail! Delicious overall for lunch and convenience.Vegetarian options: Mozzarella cheese, eggs, quinoa, salads, bean tacos/ burritos or quesadillasDietary restrictions: If you are vegetarian there are options, if you are pescatarian there are options.Kid-friendliness: Awesome fries or just simple sandwiches or tacos or quesadillas!Fun environment!
Looked like a nice spot to sit at pavement tables for a coffee. Staff seemed irritated we didn't want to eat....just two coffees thanks. Our table wait person in particular was surly and unfriendly. Coffee on the other hand was good but we won't be drinking/eating there again.

Great food could need a little boost of good energy from some of the waitresses. Sometimes hard to get a reservation with so many people on weekends so make sure you take a reservation.

Check your credit card statement. I went there in July, and the total charged to my credit card was more than the total that I signed off on in the restaurant. I called the restaurant and they were very nasty to me. Also, they committed theft by purposely charging more to my credit card than what was I billed for when I was in the restaurant.

The set up is really cute and the bird-nest lights made with Woodstick is really creative. The blueberry muffin was delicious and one of the best that I have tasted and we all really enjoyed the dishes that we ordered. However, the place could use some better customer services. For example, one of the plates that we ordered was a toasted bagel with butter for one of our kids and we waited almost 30 mins before the bagel came. When we asked the waitress about the offer, she gave us a cold shoulder and said just let you know that it actually takes time to prepare the food. Like really? Especially after we told her that the bagel is for the kids!? Her attitude only soften up after we raised our eyebrows after we heard what she told us. So as much as we enjoyed the food, the services left a bad taste in our mouth.

The service was great and friendly. I had ordered the French toast which I was super excited about. Once I got my French toast it looked awesome, but my excitement faded at the speed of light. The French toast had no flavor. No hint of vanilla, cinnamon or any of the other usual suspects you expect to come through when enjoying French toast. They served it with no butter, which they quickly brought out when asked, like I said the service is great! I lathered that toast up with butter like a glazed pig hoping that with the maple syrup would save this insult to the breakfast staple we know as French toast, but I had a better chance of winning the lottery. Even with all that sugar and fat I had to eventually abandon that dish because it was so tasteless I couldn't finish it. Now onto the coffee. I had ordered a flat white. They gave me a huge latte cup and the volume of coffee to match. Basically I got a large latte instead of a flat white. Ok, no biggie. Unfortunately due to the size of the latte the coffee was coming through weak. That said I had to add a double shot of espresso to correct it. In the end the coffee wasn't bad and I would order a cup here again, I would just let them know to keep the volume drink down when making the flat white. I saw they have a large selection of pastries which looked quite good, but I didn't try them. I would return but never order French toast again. I don't know if I would order anything off the breakfast menu due to my experience. Next visit will be a small flat white and muffin on my table.
Not a bad dish in the house. Been twice. Awesome experience both times. Yum.
