Breakfast is easy to find all around the city, so I'm surprised this place continued to expand. From their embarrassingly overpriced cinnamon breakfast roll (it's $12) to the slowest service on both occasions going there. Jammed into this place like a sardine with a noisy atmosphere made waiting 15 minutes before a server even came by, was the start both times I went. Don't expect coffee refills unless you flag someone down. It's not for lack of effort exactly, staff just seem laid back and confused. The food is good enough, sometimes presented nicely but sparring in ingredients considering the price, like the feta or goat cheese omelette. They give you a lot of potatoes and they're not that tasty. Overall it's average, but for the price there's better places. There's just nothing that stands out here except mediocre service.

My home away from home. Love this reliable neighborhood spot, especially for breakfast/brunch! It is conveniently located on Old Town on Wells (parking available most days), and the staff is always so welcoming and upbeat. Special shout out to Cesar who runs a tight and efficient ship...always with a smile on his face and a warmth so many fast-paced establishments like this one lack. I will continue to be a loyal customer, so keep up the good work!

Pretty much felt like any other brunch place. It was very clean the service was pretty okay. The food looks really good but I found some things to be way too salty. My main meal was the crab cake Benedict which I do not recommend at all. The crab cake tasted incredibly cheap and was way too fried. It's also not crab it's imitation crab. Also the sauce is either too liquidy or too firm depending on how hot it is on the Benedict. The eggs were also overpoched.
The bathrooms are nice though.

It's been a while since I've been to this place. The food is delicious, but the service is super bad. The girl who served us is amazing, her bad service is impressive. I asked for a coffee and she never brought it to me. I had to ask a guy who wasn't my waiter. 👎
