Jeffrey ZeldmanMarch 15, 2017Standout breakfast place in Printer’s Row combines guilty pleasure with fresh, healthy eating. Attached to hotel, which makes it room service for some very lucky travelers.
Zachary JacksonAugust 23, 2015I did like the chicken and waffles but it was just too spicy. We ordered the handed crafted juice blend with Mango, Orange, Kiwi and Honey wich was so good. My family didn't enjoy the "Skin Hydrator"
Bitches Who BrunchNovember 3, 2016We weren’t “wowed” by anything in particular to make this place a go-to brunch spot, but it was still a friendly, happy atmosphere to dine and catch up. Read more
Kayla FeuchtenbergerJuly 11, 2018Chicken & Donuts were delicious! There is a window into the kitchen so you can watch them cook. Everything was very clean.
- Bitches Who BrunchApril 13, 2016The Farmers Egg Benedict, was loaded with veggies. There was spinach, zucchini, tomato, red onion, and a mild salsa with two perfectly poached eggs. http://bit.ly/224ohF4
Almond milk lattes and GF pancakes, plus all the regular good stuff for those without food allergies. LOVE this cute little brunch place!
Eric TsaiOctober 1, 2016Breakfast bowls come on a plate. Very minor thing to complain about but it was a good amount of food and a healthy morning start
michelle jimenezMarch 24, 2015I love the atmosphere in this place. There selection for breakfast is amazing!
Omri KlMay 24, 2016A classic dinner, if you are looking for gluten free items their pancakes are fantastic. Other than that a regular American dinner, not bad but not that good
Cam PattonNovember 25, 2015Went here after a music festival. Great Sunday atmosphere and great brunch. Get a mimosa while you wait to be seated.- Paul MichaelOctober 23, 2014The specials are always a good choice, and they have amazing chicken and waffles
Zach RAugust 23, 2016Amazing brunch selection, fresh juices, and strong coffee. Very friendly service!
Brooke LouiseNovember 14, 2022Totally acceptable vegan tofu scramble with asparagus, broccoli, peppers etc. Didn't try the vegan pancakes yet...
Sandy SchillingJuly 6, 2014Sunday brunch, great service today! Chimichurri omelet and Green Envy juice was sooo good!
Abbie GrinerMarch 18, 2016Servers aren't the friendliest, but they aren't rude. Asked for dessert menus, were ignored for 20 min afterward, even though we had 2 people waiting on us. Worth it, though, for the vegan breakfast.
Michelle KaimApril 3, 2015Breakfast quesadillas. Yum. Polenta pancakes with honey, blueberries and bananas. Mmm.
Mollie WeisskopfMarch 11, 2015Everything looks good . Too much food for one person unless you are hungry.
IzzyMarch 5, 2014Worst customer service. We went for brunch Sunday, when we checked in we were told it would be a 25min wait. We waited 45min for a table, sat down ordered and had to wait almost an hour for our food
- Christian EistrupAugust 18, 2019Food is ok. It’s a very noisy place, bad acoustics. Also staff handles dishes very roughly and sounds of stacking plates pierces through the place.
George HarnishAugust 23, 2018I enjoyed the delicious spicy flamingo omelette with a fine cup of coffee. The service was quite attentive.
