Amazing waffles! We got the tiramisu martini and the blackberry burlesque and both were super good, i’d recommend this place for brunch!

We had a very good brunch here. There is a great selection with high-quality ingredients. The avocado toast was extremely tasty. The “Archie Club” sandwich is also a recommendation and is enough to satisfy a larger appetite.

The happening diner experience! People talking and/or chilling. Something for everyone. It was pretty busy when I was there, but if you hang for a few minutes, you can find a seat or table. The service is great friendly and generous staff. The food was good. Some fun dishes, but go for experience and vibe.

I tried the blood orange lemonade on this warm day, and I couldn't be more happy ! Slightly tart and sweet--a must have! It's very spacious with a lot of room to work, read and relax. Service was fast! I can't wait to try their coffees next

I arrived around 5:30. Not too many customers and low noise level so it was very nice to have a conversation. The drink was a little too sweet for me, but I really liked that you get a couple animal crackers to go with the drink. It’s a small thing, but a fun conversation piece. The service was quick and the waiter was pleasant.
