A cell phone is your bartender and waitress-WTF-very loud place-not elderly friendly at all

If you've seen this place on Instagram... The pictures are on target! Everything comes as advertised! Yummy dishes! The Pancakes were my favorite! The service wax wonderful... the drinks were even better! I kept seeing things others ordered and knew I will be returning! Worth the drive from Boston!

Food was so delicious, great customer service.

HONEST REVEIW! This place has AMAZING FOOD. I live in the city and out of all the coffee I’ve ever had this place was such good coffee. There was cinnamon sprinkled all over the coffee plate which I loved. Definitely coming here again!

Beautiful place and decent breakfast food but horrible service. We went for a birthday brunch and waited 2 hours (not a big deal, as we went shopping in blue back square) when we sat we realized the wait staff didn’t really want to clear anything or help with anything. You order everything through your phone. (Fine it’s Covid) but we placed one last drink order after our meal to celebrate our friends birthday and they never brought them out— finally when we flagged someone over they asked us to leave!!! We were not even there long!! We said we had drinks ordered and if they brought them to us when we ordered, we would have been on our way— nope they said they would give them to us to-go!! They also barley wanted to clear room on the table but cleared my drink before I was even done with it! I don’t think I’ve ever wrote a bad review but this was needed. They also have signs around the restaurant to please stop the “Karen’s” and to write a good review. I guess I’m a Karen and all you need for a good review is better service.

Had a great experience here visiting for the first time! Erica was our server and she was so friendly and helpful. The staff had great energy and the service was fast and efficient. Food was surprisingly good so we’ll be back again to try more!

First time at this location and we were not disappointed. The menu makes it difficult to pick one thing, it all looks great and everything so far has tasted amazing. The drinks are impressive to say the least. Service was perfect - attentive but not bothersome. Love when we get a chance to go here!

This place was incredible. The staff was absolutely amazing and so kind. Every single person who came to our table was sweet and so helpful. The food was absolutely to die for, the aesthetics were breath taking and the sound track was on point. My only wish is that I could live there and with that being said I will 100% be back!

Oh my goodness one of the best places I’ve ever eaten at. So cute chalkboard paint menu like signage , excellent service, delicious food! This place is so nicely designed and the food is presented like a work of art. Did I mention that my iced coffee came with a rubber ducky, that I got to keep. The eggs Benedict and the bacon were perfect, and fresh tasty fruit too !?

I honestly don't know why I haven't been here before. I follow them on social media and their food and drinks look fun and delicious. I finally made it today and, yup, the food and drinks really are that good! The service was great as well. Because we sat outside, there was no wait. Otherwise, it would have been 15-20 minute wait, which isn't bad at all when you arrive for brunch at 11:50am. The bottomless brunch drinks are $20 or $8 each, so definitely go bottomless. Everything we ordered was so tasty!
