Friend and I went here for brunch and really enjoyed it…read more Between the two of us, we ordered: - a pumpkin pie latte - a veggie lover omelet - eggs florentine - coffee cake Everything we got was quite good, and the service/atmosphere was wonderful too. Not to mention, it felt so fairly-priced compared to most places in Old Town! We spent about $50 between the two of us, which included a 20% tip on our bill. Hard to beat in this area honestly, especially given the quality of the food and service. I look forward to coming back and am so glad to finally have an answer to "where do you recommend going for brunch in Old Town?" -- a question that I've historically struggled with when people asked!

We wanted to like this place, but it's a big fat meh for me. Place was dirty, the meals we ordered…read morewere okay, I got the pork verde and my wife got a biscuits, my dish was pretty good but the potatoes were too salty. The gravy for the biscuits was like warm. Otherwise the food was okay. Service was good, the host was especially friendly. What knocked this one down for us was the unprofessionalism of the staff. Servers sitting counting their cash while the host was busting her tail off, that wasn't cool. Busboy clearing the table has the buspan on the seat so my wife ended up sitting in a wet spot. Not good. We won't be back. Not worth the money

Which is why I was more than happy to pop in for lunch toast while on a recent biz trip to the area. This is a tiny little spot, and parking is all but impossible to find. But my efforts were richly rewarded with a hearty portion of their tasty tuna toast (served upon a custom wood board of course). It was fresh and tasty, and worth the long wait during the early afternoon rush. I also ordered a latte... which was just meh. But that's probably just the Seattle in me talking.

Lastly, they keep the cookies warm so that's a HUGE PLUS! This review is more specifically to recognize the customer service of Eli. He was very helpful in helping me choose my selection. He was very patient with me. And his friendly service should be recognized! Thank you Eli. I'll be back to try one of the beverages soon!

If you're a true sweets lover, Midnightreats is absolutely worth the stop…read more These are not your light, airy, grab-and-go cookies. They are thick, dense, warm, and very indulgent. The kind where one cookie can easily be shared (or not lol ). They're rich and sweet, so if you're someone who loves a heavy dessert that feels like a treat-treat, you'll be in heaven. Easily a 10/10 for that category. What really stood out to me was the variety of flavors. I tried the strawberry matcha cookie and was honestly surprised by how much I liked it. It had a really nice balance of flavors and didn't feel gimmicky at all. It's always a risk trying something a little different, but this one definitely paid off. Another thing I appreciated was that they had a section of cookies discounted because they were made the night before. I love when places do this...it's a great way to try more flavors without spending a lot, and honestly, the cookies were still really good. Service-wise, the cashier was super helpful and patient, especially when it came to explaining flavors and giving recommendations. That always makes a difference when you're staring at a case full of options and can't decide.

Is this supposed to be part of the service? Anyways lovely food and cute hippo, lives up to the tropical name! Thank you.

I was so caught off guard and uncomfortable I wasn't even able to speak up while in store. All that to say, BEWARE when ordering in person- you may just have a tip forced on you. I won't be returning to this location but if I did, I certainly would be ordering online.

She sure loved those Mylar balloons and a strange person approaching the house when very dark. This is complete garbage. Do not go here.
