    I’m so happy this place is in my neighborhood. The staff is kind and wonderful, always very accommodating and friendly. I love the food- the chorizo and apple omelette are my go to. Great coffee, it’s always comfortably quiet in there- never too loud or silent. Cozy and wonderful. My server often is Lucy who has become apart of my saturday morning laundry day ritual. Thank you!

    Great food! Many vegan and vegetarian dishes. Eclectic variety, as well as more traditional brunch food. Some brunch specials are only available on weekends. The Huevos Rancheros was highly recommended by another customer. Best French toast I have ever had! Recommend the cheese cake French toast with fresh berries! Expect to spend up to $20 per person including coffee, before the tip. Lower priced items are available, but the $15 specials are definitely worth it! There is a spacious dining area in the back. When first entering we didn't realize there were plenty of tables.

    I always enjoy the Gold Standard. Today I placed a pickup order so I didn't really experience much of the atmosphere, but the food was delicious as always and the service was friendly. Prices aren't bad, either.
