Went for brunch Sunday with my stepmom. It was okay. It was extremely busy which im not sure if it usually is or not? The person taking names seemed very overwhelmed, I felt for him. But there was no organization. We waited about 30min. Food was pretty good, I got a grilled chicken and peach salad, my stepmom got an omelet. We both very much enjoyed our food. Chicken was a bit overcooked, as were the home fries. French toast lattes were good. Server was alright, I'll give her grace because it was so busy. I asked if there was whipped cream on the latte just to be sure because I didnt want it she flippantly said "Well does it say there is on the menu? No? Then there isn't." Uh okay... I was just checking. She never asked if we wanted more lattes or coffee or anything else to drink. We felt the pressure of her hovering to clean up our plates and she was whisking things away before we were ready. Then just stood at the counter staring at us until we got up from the table to leave. She was nice in general, but idk. Overall it was a cute spot, food was decent, good prices and variations. I was just underwhelmed (and overwhelmed) and probably wouldn't return based on that experience.
My daughter got a breakfast sandwich which she said was very good, especially the bacon. We got a tiramisu which was so bad we couldn't eat it.. it even had a weird chemical taste.. maybe the plastic sleeve that was on the outside? I ordered corned beef hash to go. When i opened it there were virtually no potatoes.. it was a side of corned beef which was fine.. it was real corned beef but that was it.. I'm not really a carnivore type. I called and the young man said bring it back and we'll add potatoes.. so I took it back in and they threw some fried potatoes on the top.. and everything was cold or luke warm. It was a busy place and the breakfast food is better than many places I've had but I won't go back
Such a nice café! We went there in the evening as a group of six. My waffle and latte were both delicious, and the atmosphere was really cozy. The waitress seemed a bit stressed and tired, but luckily she didn’t throw the tray at us — so we’re grateful for that! 😅
The interior is nice and modern, and the service itself was good. My meal came out hot, but my husband’s was cold—even though there was no one ahead of us. The Texas egg dish was disappointing: very dry, and the chips were stale. I also considered getting dessert to go, but it looked messy—cake crumbled and falling over. On top of that, I noticed open butter cups sitting next to a mop stick and a waitress spraying hairspray nearby, which didn’t feel very sanitary. Overall, the atmosphere was better than the food, but I wouldn’t recommend this spot based on our experience.
Had a lovely breakfast date with my youngest on a Friday morning. We were seated and ordered right away. Our server, Brittany, was very pleasant. My son had their fresh squeezed orange juice and I had a coffee with added sugar free caramel syrup. My son had the kids Mickey Mouse pancake with chocolate chips and I had the New Orleans omelet with extra marinaded mushrooms and home fries. Delicious and enough to take home for later! Will definitely return.
