As mentioned prior the avocado toast required a chain saw to cut thru it. Plus everything in it was ice cold. Breakfast tacos were quite good. I had to bring attention to the avocado toast as waitress just took away the 7/8 of it without asking. Once I did tell her how bad it was they offered to discount the bill. They took $1.45 off, what a slap in the face!

Wasn't sure ordering out here or else for Mother's Day. One not-even-mother's wish won out over a real's. Anyway, missed out on input. Would never have ordered this. Would have risked hoity toity crap, probably breakfast tacos, emphasis on pretentious show-off, peurile bull obsessed with smell of their own feces for me to smear the net with while they cry hopelessly to a world that doesn't love them for their own smug self satisfied Hell's Kitchen knockoffs. Go gratify yourselves. You're not getting validation. Then again, would never have known that a place could also screw up something so simple and easy as a burger, let alone screw up so badly. I know having been a fry cook before that as simple and easy to flop as it is to get right, but not the charcoal briquette covered in practically cheeze whiz I ate, nor the cheap chips that actually make Mc Donald's look and taste high class. Never have I ever. Nor will I again. Absolute trash. Lastly, I hold nothing back for people who deserve this. Using cheap buns and crappy burgers should get you so much. You can't disguise absurdly priced, feux cooking by purposefully burning it. Morons.

One star for the grilled cheese. Awful service. Young people with no idea how service works. My soup was ready for the table and stayed until it got cold. Order a coffee and she forgot. Then when I asked again she brought a cup of black coffee with no sugar, no cream, and no intention to care if I need it anything else. Grilled cheese was good though. Place got potential it only needs more attention to details when it comes to service. Tomato soup can be good if it's hot. I can't tell because mine was cold so. Please focus on client satisfaction I am not a hater reviewer I like to go to different places and give them a try. I just find careless service as offensive for the people that go there to spend their money. This was last Wednesday between 2pm and 3pm.

The mushroom toast I had here was to die for! Very rich and indulgent so not something if you’re looking for a light bite but very good.The green smoothie was just meh. Lacked flavor and was icy instead of smooth.The service took forever - I waited over an hour between the time my smoothie came out and the toast. Worth it if you’re working there but I was just stopping by.Try it if you’re looking for a cool place to stop by and have time to spare.

Got rez for brunch at noon on Sunday! Had a great table at the back and a wonderful server. So friendly and helpful. Started out with the lavendar chamomile loose leaf tea which was sooo good. We all had different meals...I had crumpets and orange marmalade and cream with eggs and bacon. One of us had the steak and eggs. Some had the sourdough toast and eggs and bacon. All was fresh and well done. Large servings and I could not eat all mine before I was stuffed! And the shops down the street are so quaint to window shop. Love this place!

Neat industrial setting. Got the breakfast tacos. The ingredients seem fresh but they really lacked flavor. It was expensive for the amount of food you got. The service was good. Our table was really wobbly so I fixed it by shimming it with my table knife. Coffee tasted good but served in a shallow ceramic cup, so to got cold really fast. Wasn't awful but won't return.

The service was friendly and reasonably quick, but we had some complaints around coffee and cold hot chocolate that were left unresolved. The breakfast tacos were amazing, but the singular avocado toast was tiny and sparsely topped, leaving us still hungry. We wound up going elsewhere to complete our breakfast, would recommend the owner chop prices in half for what the customer receives.

Great food, good service. I would not recommend the environment for small children or large families. Definitely a date/brunch/lunch vibe. Avocado toast was 10/10

Marvelous place! A friend introduced me to here and I was very impressed. Staff was welcoming and the food was aesthetically visual and super tasty! Beautiful inside and unique.
