Chef Rob Conneley has given people a real treat with affordable, yet suprising complex cuisine. These aren’t your typical breakfast options. Every dish is unique and reasonably portioned. The “hyper local” approach is impressive and shows the level of care and thoughtfulness put into everything they serve.

Pretty much everything about this place is great. If you are seeing a show at the Fox in the early afternoon, this is a good place to get some brunch before you head over. All the food is produced locally, and the presentation and flavor combinations of the dishes we ordered was perfectly balanced. The coffee was superb, and the ambiance was fun, with cute Japanese cartoons playing in the background while we ate. Customer service was also on point. All in all, an amazing find.

Comfortable and casual place with high quality food and drink for a fair price. We were lucky as it wasn’t too crowded when we went. So we sat at the counter and were able to talk to the chef and owner, Rob and soul chef Justin. Impressive that they can make such local and well executed cuisine with such basic equipment. If you are vegetarian you will be happy as a bunch of the items can be easily altered to accommodate. And pretty much everything is made in house which is awesome. One of the more pleasurable dining experiences we have had in a while. We will be going back often as we can, as once his real restaurant opens this place will be gone. Get there while you can!

It’s difficult to describe this place because it’s so different from the usual restaurant.
The menu is the most unusual–pecan tofu anyone? But the flavors are brilliant. Try anything; it will be great.
Service is very friendly and quick. You can sit in the theater in the back if it’s crowded up front. Be sure to feed the meter, even on Saturday.

Love this little cafe! Sailor(I hope I spelled it right) is such a sweetheart and definitely topped off the dining experience. I recommend the yogurt and the brekkie bowl. Amazing!
They also had these nifty chocolates that look like they fell from the galaxy~

Rob puts a touch of brilliance into every dish. His food is as far from boring and basic as it can be. If you’re looking for a spot that has delicious and entirely unique food come here. Many ingredients are selected from local farmers. His spicing is highly original and borrows culinary brilliance from around the globe all while being combined with traditional cafe fare. The Chef here has rightly been nominated for a James Beard award. Although Rob doesn’t carry an air of pretention, rather he is right there to work you through the menu and make suggestions. It’s not uncommon for him to come around and get valid feedback from customers as well as he offers insight into the preparation of his food.

Food was very good. Well plated, not drown in oil or salt so the flavors could come thru. Nice combination of tastes. Coffee was just ok. Both we got came out on the cooler side. Ambiance was ok. There was apparently a show at kdhx the day we were there and the room filled with non-patrons (it’s in a lobby? Didn’t look/feel like a lobby). Hope they can eventually move into a little nicer space. It’s currently more of a drop in (esp if you work nearby) vs a destination location.

Went for breakfast. Service was quick and good. I think it is linked to a local radio station but didn’t quite figure it out. Yogurt and granola bowl was huge and more than enough. Tasty compote too.

We sat at the bar and truly enjoyed ourselves. It was a busy time but everyone was very friendly. Had the grits and eggs with today and it was delicious.

Food is tasty, creative, and always so beautiful. Rob, the chef, will sometimes take time to say hello and explain a dish. Have been at least 3 times and will return.
