Loved this place. From the coffees, smoothies, and food selections, everything we had was excellent and delicious! We tried most of the breakfast selections and all of the smoothies. It was so good the first day, we went back the next! We ended up eating breakfast there 4 straight mornings. The outside dining is delightful. You just pull up a chair, scan the bar code and place your order. No waiting. All the servers were so nice ! Worth trying!!! You won’t regret it!

Food and coffee are delish. But for goodness sakes, get rid of the ordering with one’s phone! I’m fine with viewing the menu on my phone but the online ordering has to stop. After inputting our order the screen seemed to be in limbo and we couldn’t tell if we had placed our order or not. Took 10 mins to flag down a staff member as we watched other tables being served. Turned out our order had in fact gone through and it came out quickly but the experience was definitely less than ideal.

Such a great spot for brunch! Great experience with the waitstaff. All so friendly and we were seated immediately (including my pup). Ordering was easy using a QR code and through my phone. And the food was so good. We were not disappointed! We will definitely be visiting again.

Always love coming here for the atmosphere and fun picturesque eats! Not too noisy on weekdays, so you can get work done!

I was looking for a healthy brunch option and immediately thought of this place. I’ve heard lots of great things about it, but this was my first visit. I went in an hour before closing with three friends and we had a fantastic meal. I tried the flat white which was creamy and delicious. I ordered the warm chicken grain bowl which was full of flavor and very filling. My friend tried the green egg skillet and BLATE. All of the food was delicious, although a tad overpriced. Will definitely be back for the coffee.

Came here for breakfast. It’s pricey for what you get. $26 with tax and tip for scrambled eggs, 1 piece of toast, a few bacon strips and an iced coffee. They seem to focus on the coffee and on presentation. The coffee was good and the presentation was beautiful. The food tasted good.I was annoyed that you have to order with a QR code using an app, which means you have to tip your server before they’ve even served you. I think that model works for take out or fast casual but it’s terrible for a sit down restaurant.

I'm sure this place is Gen-Z paradise. Lots of bowls and avocado galore. But as the only place to get breakfast in a hotel, it falls short. Viewing menus and ordering via QR codes maybe had a place at the height of COVID, but when the slow-w-w web platform causes the ordering process to take 5 minutes -- vs. talking to a wait person for 2 minutes menu in hand -- something has gone astray. Eggs "chimichurri" (not the sauce as might be expected but just a bunch of herbs mixed in the scrambled eggs) arrived cold (after the 20 minute wait) whereas coffee served in old milk bottles risks 3rd degree burns by handling it to pour.

For almost $40, we got:- Avocado squash, half of which was already browned by the time it was served- Overcooked eggs (probably has two eggs in there)- A sandwich with one fried egg, a THICK slice of tomato, a piece of lettuce, two pieces of bacon, and mayo on a brioche bun, plus a handful of sweet potato chips that doesn't even cover half of the small plate- Flat White coffee. Well, as an Australian chain, the (oat) milk texture of the Flat White (which should be an Australian specialty) was a total disgrace, despite good flavor.

I don’t ever write reviews but I just ordered the B.L.A.T.E from Postmates. It was horrible I couldn’t even eat all the fries because some were undercooked and hard. There was only like 10 if not less fries in there anyway some where really small not even a fry. As if they were warmed up in the microwave for 45 seconds before delivery. Not fresh at all. The sandwich itself was VERY bland had no flavor. It was just the different textures in my mouth I tasted nothing but the avocado. Waste of money. I gave two stars because it could’ve been good, if it was prepared better.

This was just horrible. The heaters outside were not all working, only one out of four. We were told to order online and so we did. We got there at 11 and started waiting for the food, we had not received anything even an hour later. Then, another waiter came and told us that the ticket was not coming through. Later we found out that the ticket fell and they couldn’t find it. The girl who was our waiter at first did not even show up later, she just stayed inside. When we were leaving, they offered croissants, I ordered chocolate but she said that she gave me a plain one because they did not have chocolate.
