Stand in line, order, and seat yourself. Indoor and outdoor seating. Specialty coffee, mimosa, and other drinks. We tried the Scotch eggs, wow powerful flavor and very tasty, definitely a great treat. I had the Baja Benedicts, bit of a kick, but very tasty. He had the tacos and added the sausage, bit of spice. He said it was good although still raving about the Scotch eggs. They do have the deviled eggs many flavors, didn’t have room to try but we love those.

The atmosphere is the only redeeming part of this place — cute, moody, and well designed. Unfortunately, the food quality was unacceptable. The strawberries were mushy, the avocado was brown and clearly old, and there was a hair in my food.
I brought this to the staff’s attention and received a quick apology, but nothing beyond that. No replacement, no partial comp, no offer of a drink — nothing. For a brunch restaurant, this level of food quality and customer service is disappointing.
Nice vibes, but not worth returning due to poor quality control and lack of accountability.

I loved the place! Went based on the recommendation of a fellow foodie, and it did not disappoint!! The mall quaint setup, was very welcoming, comfortable and and diverse. The food was excellent, and my pockets weren’t empty when I left

9/13/25 – very cute spot and love the aesthetic. There is a bit of parking next to the place but can find street parking as well. They have inside and outside seating. Inside is pretty small and more so for 1-4 people. Outside seating you could seat a little more. You order at the register and then they bring the food out to you. I got the waffle plate. My friends got the chicken and waffles and another got the appetizer loaded fries. I got the I heart t rex drink, and my friends got the mocktail drink that looked like a mojito. Another one got the ginger beer.
The food was pretty good. My waffle was cooked just right, just enough brown on it. However some of my friends were not and still soft. Some of my friends got a larger size of chicken than others, but they all said it was delicious. You can also get hot honey on the side with your dish. The fries were really good as well. I also enjoyed the drink but be mindful as to how small it is. I wish it was a little bit bigger. Overall really enjoyed everything and the service was pretty quick with checking out table and grabbing out empty dishes.

Menu could use some work…lots left to to interpretation. Was really disappointed to receive candied cold bacon today because I was really looking forward to chowing down. The deviled Adobo eggs were mediocre at best. The highlight of my mini meal was my turkey sausage. May come back and see if my rating can be improved but there just too may mishaps for me to enjoy today’s visit.

What a great little eatery! After looking around the area for a good brunch spot since we’re not from around here, this place popped up for recommended. Parking is very limited, but once we were inside we didn’t have to wait long to order food. You order and pay at the counter which was actually nice, and then find seating. Once we ordered we only waited a few minutes for our coffees and then a few more for food. Everything was delicious! Wife got the chicken and waffles and I got the Colonial Benedict. It was all flavorful, and we also loved the crispy seasoned hash browns. Our lattes were also not overly strong and a little sweeter like we requested. Highly recommend to stop here if you’re in Norfolk.

Came here after work for breakfast. I got the avacado toast and the bacon. The bacon had a a lot of seasoning but I think that how it was supposed to be. The avacado toast was very flavorful with a hint of sweetness. Wasn’t busy when I went in and a nice calm area .

What a great spot! Friendly staff and excellent food. I got the triple pickle chicken sandwich which was the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever eaten. My husband also enjoyed his chicken and waffles. He commented more than once that the chicken was perfectly cooked. He was also happy that the hot sauce actually had some real heat. We can’t wait to return and try more things!!

PLEASE!!! for the love of all things have something to eat and a coffee or a cocktail!!! I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed such a brilliantly crafted food and beverages. The service was just as impressive, hands down one of the best places we have stopped in ages. My husband and I can’t wait to go back.

The atmosphere is very beautiful and it’s kind of more like an intimate setting. The menu is a decent size not too overwhelming. The pricing is reasonable. The bartender was amazing he was a great time he was very funny. The food was amazing cooked perfectly seasoned to perfection. Shout out to the cooks! And drinks were great the water was even better for some reason lol. I would definitely recommend trying this place out.
