Reviews
Tried the pistachio cardomom latte, but personally disliked it as the cardomom flavor was too strong.
The kimchi is flavorful with just the right amount of tang and spice, and it pairs perfectly with the crispy potatoes. The eggs on top pull everything together, and the sauce adds a nice finishing touch without overpowering the dish. The portion is generous and very satisfying.
The interior is also a fun surprise-paper snowflake decorations hanging from the ceiling and colorful wall art give the place a warm, playtul vibe that makes brunch feel relaxed and enjoyable.
All was good except the coffee refills required flagging down the server to ask for a refill.
The food was good comfort food. The bacon was thick cut, and degreased to the point of be a bit dried out.
We where a table of five squeezed on to a four seater. Not pleasant.
I will probably give this place a second try. It was OK.
The service was fantastic. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The wait was very long; much longer than quoted and the wait for our food was extremely long. (Quoted 20, took 45) They were busy so expect a long wait if you come for weekend brunch.
The food was fine but unimaginative and pedestrian. It felt like the vegan options were more of an afterthought. The coffee was great and the Peach Pancakes were the standout dish.
Overall great service, fun atmosphere but the food wasn’t up to par with other local restaurants serving vegan food.
I visited on a Sunday morning, and the place was packed with a long line out the door around 10am. Clearly a popular brunch destination! The walls feature nice artwork that’s also available for purchase, which adds to the atmosphere.
I ordered the vegan tofu and vegetable hash. The flavors were good, though it was much heavier on hash browns than I personally would have liked. Still, it was a hearty meal and a solid option for plant-based diners.
Overall, a bustling brunch spot with vegan-friendly choices, warm service, and a vibrant setting—just know to expect a wait if you come during peak weekend hours.
