“Customer service was superb! Presentation and quality of food were excellent. Portion size was just right. I left feeling satisfied and full. Good experience”

“We had breakfast here before a Cubs game for my fiancé's birthday and WOW what a treat! We mentioned we selected the restaurant for its bread at which point the hostess informed us her husband is the bakery and advised us to try the sourdough or rosemary focaccia. The sourdough did NOT disappoint. Our server was the one who designs all of their coffee drinks and my iced match pistachio oat milk latte was on point. Sharon took such good care of us despite the restaurant being full due to it being a holiday. We asked to take a picture with her as a memory for my fiancé's day and she happily obliged. In addition, she couldn't have been more accommodating and helped steer my partner for his meal and me for my drink. Absolutely will return for another tasty meal any time we're in the neighborhood!”

“RUN DON’T WALK HERE! First of all the decor is very cute inside and our food was PHENOMENAL! My husband got eggs potatoes bacon and the sour dough and loved it all. I had the egg sandwich and will be dreaming about it until I come back and get it again. I got a simple salad and it was delicious. They locally source their ingredients and you can tell. They also bake their own bread and it’s divine! Such great food! *we made an open table reservation for 8:45 and it opens at 9. They are also closed Monday and Tuesday but everyone there is so nice*”

“This family business is really nice. Been here a few times with the kids for brunch/breakfast. We had the Brioche French Toast, Classic French Omelet, Beet Salad, Goddess salad, Oak and Honey salad, Parfait and some other side dishes - all were good 👍”

“Loved this spot! We both ordered pasta and it was delicious! The bread with butter was also great.The space is cute and spacious, and service was super fast. Sharon was amazing, so friendly and attentive. We’ll definitely be back for brunch!”

“Went there this past Sunday, first time and wasn't sure if there was going to be a spot available since you have to make reservations & it was only me. But the host was so lovey & found a open table for me. I had there french toast, with scrambled eggs and the rosemary roasted potatoes. And OMG them potatoes was the best part! 😁. Everything was good but the potatoes was the star for me. Will definitely go back again and make sure I make a reservation if I bring others with me. The place is bigger then I expected and the service was great.”

“Met an out-of-town friend for brunch. The service was great. I was a little early but got seated right away while I waited for him to arrive. Our server was incredible. Everyone was super friendly. We didn't feel rushed at all, especially on a Sunday at 1p. I had the duck au jus which was tasty. The jus was perfect as were the mountain of seasoned fries alongside. My friend had the monte cristo which was massive; I took part of it home. He had one of their cocktails which I enjoyed, but was too sweet for him (hence the 4 stars). Will definitely be back with friends and looking forward to trying other items from the menu.”

“Super cute brunch place with great service and delicious food! I went here today for brunch with a friend. Paid parking right outside the restaurant was easy to find at 10am on a Sunday. Our server was super sweet and answered all of our questions about the menu. We both got lattes, which tasted great. My friend ordered the root vegetable hash and I went with the monte cristo. Both were delicious but the star of the show was the rosemary roasted potatoes! Service was prompt and they also had lots of sweets/treats to choose from. Will definitely be back!”

“Really nice cozy breakfast on New Year’s Day! What a cute spot with a great staff. They have a wide array of brunch drinks and great coffee. Their menu is super creative and diverse - there’s definitely something for everyone. Meal was great and their French toast was AMAZING! Omelet was also delicious.”

“Edit: got the superfood parfait and was blown away. Would suggest for breakfast! So so good- I am consistently blown away. The bread basket here is fresh and diverse and AMAZING. Short ribs melted off the bone. We had the cookie skillet with homemade ice cream and it was the best cookie I've had in a moment. The creme brûlée was light and satisfying. Peaceful atmosphere and the cutest wallpaper. Very lovely date spot!!”
