    Amazing gf waffle spot in downtown oly. The people, the vibes, the food...i love it all. They also…read morehave live music which would have been amazing to hear. We had the breakfast waffle and the lox waffle. I also had a side of poached eggs. Everything was seasoned and cooked well. I loved that you can order your poached eggs soft med or hard. Mine were perfectly jammy. I will definitely be back when I'm in town to try more things. My folks live locally and this is a favorite of theirs!

    I'm genuinely a little confused about the hype surrounding this place and how it has earned "best…read morerestaurant" recognition because, food-wise, this was one of the more mediocre breakfast experiences I've had in a while. Being downtown, parking is already challenging. There's no convenient lot, so prepare to circle around and hunt for street parking. I was fortunate I found one spot in front. Once inside, though, I can see where some of the appeal comes from. The restaurant is BEAUTIFUL. The intricate decorations, dim lighting, and rustic/modern aesthetic definitely give it that trendy, upscale brunch spot vibe. But maybe I've been to enough pretty restaurants too many times because the moment I saw the interior, part of me thought, "Oh, we're about to pay for the aesthetic, aren't we?" And... yeah. Kind of did.. We walked in with a party of 7, and I will absolutely give credit where it's due: service was excellent. Everyone we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The drink menu was also probably the best part of my experience. I ordered a steamed latte and REALLY enjoyed it. If I were rating just the service, atmosphere, and drinks, we'd be having a very different conversation. Unfortunately, we came here to eat too. I had looked at the menu beforehand, so I already knew waffles were basically the main character here. I'm not knocking them for a limited menu when that's literally their concept. What I wasn't expecting was for the actual waffles to look so underwhelming compared to the photos online and on the menu. If you're imagining big, thick, fluffy restaurant waffles... lower those expectations. These are much thinner waffles. That works fine when they're paired with eggs, potatoes, and other sides, but ordering one by itself is another story. My husband ordered the House Waffle for $12, and when it arrived, all we could think was L'eggo My Eggo. Twelve dollars for a waffle that looked like it could've come out of my freezer at home is wild. Needless to say, it wasn't particularly filling for him either. I ordered the Classic Breakfast Waffle, and it was mostly fine. I finished my plate, but there's a difference between finishing something because it's delicious and finishing something because, well, you paid for it. Both the flavor and my appetite afterward landed firmly in "satisfactory" territory. Bacon was thin, but poached eggs were good enough. The hash brown potato waffle, however? THAT was delicious. Easily my favorite food item of the meal besides my latte. Unfortunately, it was also fairly small. They also seem to be very committed to poached eggs here. Not necessarily a complaint or something I'd deduct points for, but definitely something to know if poached eggs aren't your thing. I didn't see any options for eggs made any other way on the menu. The rest of my family didn't exactly care for the food either. My mother didn't like the scent of the food, my son wasn't a fan of how warm the black cherries were with his waffle, my husband was thoroughly unimpressed with his lonely little classic waffle, and I left nowhere near as full as I expected considering how much money we had just spent feeding seven people. That's ultimately where this place lost me. I can accept smaller portions. I can accept a specialty menu. I can even accept higher prices when the quality makes me understand WHY I'm paying them. But when you combine small portions + mediocre food + upscale pricing, the math stops mathing for me. Three stars because the restaurant itself is gorgeous, the service was genuinely excellent, and my latte and hash brown potato waffle deserve the credit. But the actual breakfast (the reason we even came) was far too underwhelming for the price. Maybe I'm missing whatever everyone else is seeing, but this one was a "glad I tried it once" experience for me. I wouldn't recommend the food at these prices, and I definitely wouldn't come back for it.

    The concept of this place is great, but it still needs some work. The café was so loud, with the…read moremusic turned up so high, that I couldn't hear what my husband wanted to order. It seemed like the employees enjoyed the loud music and were not very mindful of the guests. I asked for it to be turned down, but it was only lowered slightly. We were also the only table eating in at the time. The açaí bowl was overly sweet and frozen on the bottom. I would prefer no added sugar beyond the honey listed in the description, but it tasted like there was added sugar in the fruit or base. I do not think this place is very healthy as I suspect very high added sugar content. The Mediterranean bread was good, but the garlic artichoke bread was very salty. I also ordered a blue lavender drink and was disappointed. The lavender was too strong and the drink did not taste balanced. Overall, I like the idea of this place, but the food, drinks, and atmosphere need improvement. It was also expensive for what we got -- almost $64 with tip for two orders of bread, two drinks, and one açaí bowl. We likely won't be returning.

    I think I just found the best açaí bowl spot -- and it's only 30 minutes away from me! So happy I…read morestumbled upon this location. The ambiance is on point, and I love the interior decor. It's right in town, surrounded by lots of cute shops to walk to after. The service was amazing, the music was perfect, and they even have a small area with merch! They also offer smoothies and more -- definitely check out their menu! !
