    Nice place with good service. The prices are high for what you get, but I imagine their rent is also high at that location. The ingredients are good. You can tell they don't skimp. Real blueberries in the pancakes, thick cut delicious bacon etc. The sourdough breakfast melt was tasty too. Everything was delicious. There were some vegetables in the blueberry pancakes, which was amusing but they were picture perfect and delicious anyway. Was dying to try the peaches and cream French toast. Sounded amazing but didn't meet expectations. The streusel topping was so hard, the next table could hear me chewing! I left most of that dish If price is no issue, it's a lovely, homey place with good service and tasty food. Be prepared to pay more.

    Tripped on this delightful diner while waiting for my car service at Lamd Riber down the street. Quick 5 minute trip,, counter was a open with 2 spots and a friendly waiter Nick. We had housemade corned beef and haah..generous size chunks..super moist and flavorful. We also had the chicken fried chicken s.othered in delicious gravy with a warm.soft biscuit. We took a six pack of mixed cinna.om. uns to go amd shared with our event that morning. Everyone is IN LOVE with the buns!!!!

    Went on a Sunday and the place was full, they still found seating for two with minimal wait. Menu is pretty standard for a breakfast place with all the typical offerings, omelettes, pancakes, waffles, sandwiches etc. Prices were HIGH. Most items ranged between $20-$24. Acai bowl was listed at $24. Yikes! Sadly the food was disappointing. Both meals were bland and room temperature. The English muffin under my benedict was actually cold like it was just out if the fridge. I had the veggie Benedict, partner had 2 pancakes, 2 bacon and country potatoes (not what he ordered). Water and an ice tea. $51.67 without tip. If you plan on paying with a credit card, they charge an additional 5% on top of that.

    Busy neighborhood diner serving up comfort food in a bright, upbeat environment. The corned beef hash was a deconstructed version of the dish where all the parts are cooked separately but then served mixed together on the same plate. The corned beef was house made and served in large, brined, tender chunks. It was fine but could have used more spices. The grilled peppers and onions were excellent. The potatoes were small cubes that I imagine are just the standard breakfast side dish served with all plates. The eggs were cooked correctly. Everything tasted fine but the flavors did not meld together since everything was cooked separately, so it ended being just a plate of eggs, potatoes and corned beef. It wasn't bad, just not great, but disappointing when considering the price. Coffee is served in a big giant mug, which was nice. Service is pleasant despite being very busy. They really hustle here. Environment is energetic with lots of families and neighborhood locals. Will come back and try something else. This might not have been the best example of their efforts.

    Peaches and cream didn’t meet our expectation. They were a little bit mushy when served. I ordered the chilaquiles and the green sauce was forgotten. We bought 6 pcs of cinnamon rolls. The service was good.
