10 to 15 minutes wait, but oh, so worth it. The food was amazing, and the service was great. I felt like I couldn't empty my water glass. Someone was always coming around to help.Highly recommend their French toasts and their breakfast hash.

Credit: they know how to make an over medium egg! I got the small breakfast plate. The potatoes tasted really awful, like they had been previously cooked and just barely reheated when I ordered. The potatoes also had this weird bitter taste. I really like that they offered smaller plates for when people aren't quite so hungry, I just wish the food quality was better. The restaurant was also pretty loud because it's one huge room that echoes quite a bit, so you can hear like 10 conversations at once on top of the background music. For some, this would be a welcoming atmosphere, for others, it might seem a bit overwhelming or chaotic, it just depends ?‍♀️

The server at our table accidentally broke a glass cup, but failed to properly clean up the small shards of glass that remained on the table. This raised concerns about hygiene and food safety standards. Furthermore, the server did not take any additional steps to improve our dining experience or compensate for the incident.

We dined in here for the breakfast, and we found the food just normal in comparison with other restaurants in Seattle. We ordered omelet and avocado toast and both were good in terms of portions, but the bread was over thick which leaves over balanced combination in the bite. The black coffee wasn’t up to the quality, and the same with “fresh squeezed orange juice”.

I went for breakfast and ordered the Joe's scrambled eggs. It was very filling with the eggs, sausages, mushrooms, and cheese. The toast was too tough for my preference though and some bites of the potatoes were too salty. I'd try the other menu items next time.

The food was good. It is really massive. The lemon ricotta in my pancakes was great, but the flavor in the pancakes was plane. The berries bar is the best part. They do water and coffee refills.

Long wait to get seated despite having a reservation, food took a long time to come as well. Atmosphere was terrific, the berry bar is a great concept.

Such a great experience!! We had a pretty big group that we made a reservation for, we showed up early and they were able to seat us right away and we waited as the rest of the group showed up. Stephanie was our waitress and was so amazing, right off the bat she was so friendly and accommodating. She’s an asset to the team and it wouldn’t have been the same without her. Great atmosphere and yummy food. All around love <3 every staff we interacted with was nothing but nice, genuine, good people

A true 10/10 experience. They have the best french toasts I have ever had. Additionally, the fruit buffet and toppings are fresh and filling.
