A cute breakfast spot! Lots of options it known for their sticky buns. We got one with the pecan topping option, it was delicious and not too sweet which was refreshing for an American treat. I got the avocado toast with two eggs over hard and a side of bacon. The bacon was a bit salty, as bacon can be but the rest of the meal was spot on. Our waitress was attentive and friendly as was all the staff. read more

Fresh was a mainstay in the brunch rotation that also included, Barley Mow, B2, and Chatty Monks (RIP). It probably has the least amount of seating of the bunch, so combined with their no reservation policy, timing is everything. Weekdays are usually pretty calm, but weekends are a madhouse. Sunday hours are also a bit tighter, open from 9am to 1pm instead of the usual 8am-2pm, so something to be aware of. The food, service, and decor all get high marks. Bonus points for serving sides of jelly in miniature sealable jars. When I see jars, it tells me the owner isn't cheaping out on anything. You won't find any stinkin' plastic ramekins here. Only earthen, stoneware plates and shiny copper mule mugs. Fresh is the rare boutique-class brunchery that respects diners' space by generously giving it to them. With its compact storefront, it was a pleasant surprise to see they didn't try to cram as many tables as physically possible in the dining room. That means on even the busiest of days, you aren't forced to sit on top of your neighbor. This property has an interesting history, having been home to one of my favorite brunch spots back in the day, Bistro 614. Then, back in 2014 it burned down, managed to rebuild and reopen a little over a year later before closing down for good in 2019. Years went by where it was just a barren, neglected empty shell, and people started to wonder if anything, much less a bistro replacement, would ever move in. Our prayers were answered in 2022, and with its opening Fresh instantly became one of the trendier brunch destinations in town. Going more for quaint than SoHo chic, dining here feels like visiting an old friend, an old friend who burned down and bummed around aimlessly for a long, dark stretch, but came back better than ever. read more

Great breakfast spot! My chorizo tostadas were good, but the best part of our breakfast was the sticky bun! I didn't even know they were available because I didn't see them featured prominently on the menu. Our server was great and regularly checked on us. Cute decor inside! read more

What can I say about this establishment and its staff that can do justice too what they deserve? The food: This is one of my favorite places to eat and is on par with some of the elite establishments I've dined at from around the country. The food and services were revive is always impeccable. Their eggs are always perfectly cooked, my son loves their chocolate pancakes and they have never undercooked or overcooked them. I appreciate that their veggies are fresh and sautéed to perfection and not soft. Their fresh baked sticky bun is wonderful and there's no better way to eat it than to get every topping they offer! You won't regret it. My family has had about almost everything in their menu and we have never been disappointed. On top of the great food, they have the BEST Carmel Fresh-Spresso drink that makes Starbucks drinks taste like rancid waste water. The staff: I've never experienced a bad interaction with the staff and find them all to be very kind, friendly, and have great personalities and humor. The atmosphere: love that the restaurant is cozy enough you can have great conversations. It's always relaxing and always clean. If you're looking for a great place to eat, this is it! I hope they stay in business for a long time! read more

Walking in you're greeted by the sweetest staff, seated quickly, and attended to promptly. Waitress was super sweet and made recommendations and even came back to check if the coffee she recommend was to my liking. Food came out quickly and O M G. DELICIOUS!! I got the short rib quesadilla Benedict and it was OUT OF THIS WORLD! short rib was cooked perfectly, the flavor combo of that with the hollandaise and egg.. chefs kiss. It also came with potatoes and omg they were so fluffy but crispy at the same time. My gf got the avocado bowl and it was SO GOOD! everything was super fresh and so yummy. We also got a chocolate chip pancake to share because they kept coming out and looking TOO GOOD. That was also delicious and so fluffy! Will definitely be back! read more

I've been there twice now and both times the food was outstanding! Fantastic drink specials! I've had the harvest bowl and it was incredible, my friend loved the pecan pancakes and we all loved the martini flight! They let us switch out one of the drinks for the Bloody Mary instead, so nice! No reservations or call ahead on weekends, so get there early and be prepared to wait for a table until everyone in your party is present. All in all excellent experience! read more

Amazing. Was visiting from Philadelphia and came here for a Sunday brunch with a good friend. It's a little on the pricey side, but that's in exchange for excellent service, charming decor, and some of the most delicious food I've ever had. I ordered a spinach omelette and I decided to have a pancake to go with it, the pancake was going to be the size of my entire head lol. I will definitely come back here every time. I'm in town. read more

Unfortunately we had a bad experience with management, we sat down after being told they were able to seat 12 without an issue, however it took an hour to get us seated, and another hour plus to get our food, Our party anticipated an issue with them being understaffed and did not take a large issue with this, however upon receiving our food, the pancakes were Raw and the seasoned potatoes were just a broken up baked potato, inedible and inexcusable. Unfortunately I took a couple bites of the pancake and it ruined my appetite. The manager came out yelling "whose the complainer here?!" And was not very friendly in the slightest. Ruining our experience even further and ensuring we're to never cross paths again. Avoid the pancakes, avoid the potatoes, avoid the restaurant, the mimosa was ok. read more
