About the Business
The name and the menu artfully stained with a faux coffee-cup ring advertise the coffee house aspect, but this spot has much more to offer. Breakfast items include starters like oversized scones, muffins, bagels and yogurt parfait. For a more substantial breakfast pick from French toast (plain and a stuffed version), Belgium waffles (with strawberries and bananas and whip cream), pancakes, breakfast burritos and frittatas (the "Italian flag" stars tomatoes, spinach, onions and mozzarella; the bacon frittata has applewood smoked bacon, sauteed mushrooms and Cheddar). The lineup of usual sides-include smoke bacon, sausage, and ham off the bone. For lunch, bite into a panini. Pasta, soups, salads and regular sandwiches (tuna melt, turkey and Swiss) round out lunch.

The food is absolutely amazing every time. The coffee is also so good! The staff makes you feel right at home and the waitress remembered me by my second time there. The decorations are nothing to special and they will often have Halloween/Christmas decor up months after the fact but honestly I like it it makes it feel cozy, lived in, and real, not like a restaurant sent up just for insta photos but a restaurant dedicated to actual making good food.

Excellent coffee and quality breakfast food with attentive and careful service. I only wish it were open later than 13:00 or 14:00; I often wish I could go at 2:30 or 3:00.

Food? Delicious. Coffee? Amazing. Service? Just as good. Atmosphere? Very cool, but cluttered. Still, the French Toast more than makes up for any issues with the place.

Good food, great ambiance, everyone is super nice including the staff. Just a little pricey for the portion size honestly but that's just me.

It's a small owned family business. Came midweek, not crowded , nice service. Food was ok, not great. Of all the breakfast options on Taylor Street this would not be my 1st, 2nd, or 3rd choice. A tad bit over priced, for the quality of food you're getting.

The service was good, I called ahead to assure they were open for business, they answered energetically and promptly. They are allowing dine-in with social distancing, the staff do not wear masks however. I was self seated immediately. To began, the Au Lait was very good, the whip cream seemed light but add a little sugar & it was perfectly served in a nice portioned round mug. For my entree, I ordered the smaller version of the French Toast but learned once it came out that the small version is plain, they gladly fixed it. The regular size (4) is enough for 2 ppl. They are very heavy with the cream cheese filling. It's loaded w fresh bananas and strawberries. As we all know French Toast are typically al a carte so I ordered a side of turkey sausage. They were dry and $5 for two patties is steep, perhaps $3.89 is feasible.

Tried this out for a post graduation family breakfast. The food was good, the coffee was excellent. The service was not a nice experience. We were there with a party of 9. They completely forgot my mom's order. Brought out everyone's food and we waited. Eventually had to ask about the order and was told by a staff person "I didn't take the order". At that point she just asked for some toast. It took another 10 min to get toast. No acknowledgment, no apology until we solicited one. I tried to show empathy as I also work in hospitality and received a dismissive reply. The young lady who was doing the work in the front of the house was very kind. The rest of the place was not friendly. We ended up shelling out $120.00 with one guest leaving hungry. I do not recommend this establishment for a meal with family.
