Crema's Take
“Open City's stuffed French toast is genuinely exceptional—the kind of breakfast dish that justifies a weekend detour—though stick strictly to their comfort food strengths and skip anything adventurous like pizza or burritos. The all-day breakfast menu draws a loyal crowd of families and brunch enthusiasts who don't mind the deliberately slow service in exchange for quality cooking and a genuinely welcoming vibe. It's a casual neighborhood anchor that does one thing really well: turn out satisfying, unpretentious breakfast and lunch that tastes like someone actually cares.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

The workers were very nice, the stuffed French toast was the best French toast I've ever tried. Would highly recommend for a family or duo looking for breakfast / brunch.

Great food, good service. Very slow but worth waiting for. City Bowl and mushroom Ruben were excellent as was the hummus platter. Reasonable for two dinners and appetizer $60+. Off time visit may help explain wait time. Breakfasts were very good, hash browns were…
