In their words

From the tables

Avocado toast with two poached eggs, tomato, radish and microgreens under a hot-honey drizzle.
The crab-cake and beef-tenderloin eggs Benedict were fabulous — and the pecan honey-butter pancakes were bomb.

A garden veggie hash bowl — roasted vegetables, broccoli and spinach with feta, avocado and a farm egg.
The food is excellent, especially the spicy vegan tacos. Wonderful service, great atmosphere.

Thick-cut cinnamon French toast grilled golden, served beside iced tea and fresh flowers.
Straight to the point and friendly — they're always busy, so there's no wasted time.
