Hazel nut small Matcha
Meika G N.

Stopped in for a quick Matcha fix ...great customer service very friendly and helpful matcha is remarkable!!! Fresh flavor

Salted Carmel coffee (frozen)
Schyler B.

Beautiful little coffee spot! Awesome and very helpful service! I got the salted Carmel coffee and I asked if it could be frozen, they agreed and it turned out to be the most silky smooth delicious coffee I've had in a long time! So so good! Cute little spot!

Kentucky Hot Brown
Corey S.

Had a nice leisurely breakfast with my wife on a Saturday morning. As you might expect for a downtown restaurant, it was mostly empty. This was good for us. The restaurant is mostly hard surfaces and would probably get quite loud if it was full. As it was for us, it was great. Both the wife and I got expensive drinks - a hot chocolate and a Spanish mocha for the wife. My hot chocolate arrived somewhat like warm, but the fixed it when I asked. There are three sizes on the menu and I highly recommend you go for the largest. You might as well pay the extra buck and get a better overall value. My wife enjoyed her large mocha, but mentioned that the spice was a lot. Maybe steer clear if you are wary of cayenne. For food, I got the hot brown and it was excellent. Highly recommend and I would return just for that. My wife got a house made muffin which she enjoyed but described as more akin to a coffee cake than a muffin. Our server was fine. She could have had a warmer demeanor, but she did her job. I appreciated the ability to pay the bill right off a QR code on my phone. I always dislike that uncomfortable part at the end where you are ready to go but waiting on a server to close your ticket. This was nice and efficient. I'm summary, experience was good and I'd consider returning if I'm downtown and need breakfast.

Buttermilk biscuit, house-made strawberry preserves and a small coffee

Small, 12 oz coffee, ordered black. 5/5 stars It is perfectly brewed! You know how some coffees you neeeed to add cream and sugar just to make it palatable? Not necessary. But if you're so inclined, it will still taste great. House biscuit, 5/5 stars Pillowy soft, buttery without coating your mouth with fat, and flaky, you can order one, or three. You also get the choice of butter, or house-made strawberry preserves, so I chose the latter and boy am I glad I did! I drank it! I mean, I started off withal a sip to taste it, then dipped my biscuit into it, THEN I drank it. Soooo good Coffee cake, They offered to heat it for me, but I wanted to save it for a late morning snack The ambiance of the coffee shop is moody, yet clean. I was surprised that they were even open because from the outside on a rainy day, you really couldn't tell. John took care of my order and he was super accommodating. For my 3 items, my order was $9.50 in total. Nit bad for such a delightful breakfast. The front counter doesn't look like much, but I was genuinely surprised with my experience.

Huevos Rancheros was very enjoyable, with egg, black bean hummus, hash browns, avo, lime chipotle creama. Very fresh, light, and delicious!

Let's start with the pancake balls. The signature dish is absolutely out of this world. You can get them filled with Nutella, dulce de leche or Apple/Pumpkin butter. These little morsels of goodness are worth the trip alone. We also had the Pueblo BLT Sammy with the sweet and spicy bacon (that's right this is a thing that must be tried to be believed). This sandwich was so good and don't sleep on the homemade citrus aioli - outstanding. Our table also had the hens in a basket. Eggs cooked perfectly and the bread had a sweetness to it that made it just right. OUTSTANDING FOOD! And we will be back

We were so excited, and all we could taste was the old fryer on l that clearly hasn't been cleaned or replaced in a long time. Literally tasted like rancid oil in every bite. We did eat it as carry-out, and I could have gotten over a little bit of rubbery-ness, as it is pancakes, but all 4 of us took one bite of a pancake ball and instantly spit it out. Really really bad... we spent over $70 and threw it all away minus the sandwich. The only reason this is a 2 star is the Latina sandwich was VERY good.

This can be tricky because there seems to always be out the door, but most patrons understand the assignment and turnover goes quickly. I recommend searching the current menu online so you are ready as soon as you get to the register. This place appears to always be busy and bustling with people. We ordered the Country Scramble, Pancakes, and an Egg Sandwich. Drinks were hot apple cider, hot cocoa, and a Blackberry Fizz. All the food was delicious and are def the highlight. There is self serve coffee and soda(and water I believe although the person who got up to investigate for our table couldn't seem to find it). Honestly, the service is not my jam and why I dropped off a star. They seemed to be serving mimosas, wine, and Bloody Mary's in the line while you waited but the gal that was overseeing the area didn't really make eye contact so we didn't bother with that. Register was friendly and knowledgeable. But then the service gets tricky. There are no dedicated servers / bussers. Just people doing both. So many times you will find a group of people waiting for a table that needed to be cleared. We waited for the table to be cleared and no one was wiping the tables down, just removing dirty dishes. Our table was terribly sticky from the prior patrons but since you don't have a dedicated server, no one was coming back to take care of that. And lord help you if something wasn't right or you needed attention. We had no tableware or napkins and had to take them from another table. One of our meals took 10 more minutes than everyone else's so then our food was cold as we tried to be polite to the person who did not get food (but who do you inquire with?!). And if you wanted something else (another drink, or a pastry), you were going to have to wait in the line again. The food was good, but probably not a place I would return.

It is unfortunately rare in today's age to receive the exceptional service we did this night, which is what stood out the most during our time here.

I was looking for a place to have a good breakfast following a medical procedure that required a…read moreclear liquid diet and fasting beforehand. Under those conditions, even crappy food can taste good. But truly amazing food goes to a whole new level. It was my great good fortune to find HangOverEasy in close proximity to the medical office. I ordered the cinnamon roll French toast with a side of bacon. On a normal day, this dish would have blown me away. Today, I believe it is one of the best things I've ever eaten. Ever. So delicious with the vanilla cream and fresh blueberries. It was served with maple syrup but honestly it was so good without syrup. My husband ordered the Derby stuffed pancakes at the recommendation of our server, and he continues to rave about them. They had a nice balance of chocolate and walnuts. This dish was also served with maple syrup, but it was delicious without it. Our service was outstanding and the atmosphere was fun and laid back. We can't wait to return sometime soon when we don't have a medical appointment to consider.

This was one of the most frustrating brunch experiences I've had…read more We joined the waitlist and almost immediately received a text saying our table was ready. By the time we walked to the host stand--literally within seconds--we were told we had already lost our spot. They put us back on the waitlist and told us it would be about 20 minutes. After waiting around 25 minutes, we received another text saying our table was ready. Once again, we went straight to the host stand, only to be told there wasn't actually a table available. We asked if we could at least sit at the bar, but since we were a party of four, that wasn't an option. Instead, they added us to the waitlist for a third time and told us to wait another 20 minutes. The most disappointing part was watching more than 10 couples get seated while we continued to be overlooked. It felt like the waitlist system was completely disorganized, and the staff offered no real explanation or solution. After wasting nearly an hour, we decided to leave and have brunch somewhere else. Fortunately, the other restaurant was excellent. Unfortunately, this place turned what should have been a relaxing brunch into a frustrating and disappointing experience.
