Being an extremely passionate breakfast & brunch enjoyer, I have recognized that it's not only the taste that matters, but all of our six senses coming together to combine an buzzing experience from the moment you see the place and decide to give it a shot, to the last bite and the feeling of completeness.
I will cover the whole experience in my review, so if you're in for authentic and raw honest ride, let's go!
* The Welcome
Right of the bat, the welcome was a little tired, we didn't quite know if we should wait to get seated or just grab a menu and seat ourselves.
It wasn't a busy time and there weren't so many people, so there was definitely time for a warm welcome and some info (Especially when you get eye contact) Oh well.
We searched the menu by a table inside, quickly found some deliciousness to eat and ordered, by then my girlfriend saw a couple leave a table outside so we decided to grab it!
As we went outside they gave us a toy octopus, instead of having table numbers they hand out these toy animals, pretty cool idea!
* The Place & The Vibe
Inside I got a cool kind of Silicon Valley Co-Working vibe, some people sat with their laptops, phones, others where there just to enjoy some well deserved food.
Overall calm and chill vibe, nice seatings and very light & open area.
Outside felt very cheap, kind of 7-eleven metal style tables in the middle of the pedestrian street, no "closed of" area, no feelings, no vibe.
* The Service
Well, we all have our days, our ups & downs, and life happens.
It feels as though at the day we where there, all staff where kind of tired, no welcome, out table was not properly cleaned (they didn't clean it until they brought out our food) and didn't wipe the table clean.
Besides that, I understand that we are all people and have our personal lives, but I also love a genuinely passionate welcome and service!
* The Menu & The Food
Oh my oh my.... as a old graphic designer, the menu was definitely not a joy for my eyes.
I mean, come on, don't be lazy, it doesn't take much time nor money to design a simple and stylish menu, just do it!
The lines where messy as one line contained more than one item, very confusing.
Overall, the menu contained the classic breakfast & brunch items such as a large variation of bowls with different kind of toppings such as: nuts, fruits, granola, super foods and much more. Porridge, also with different kind of toppings and danish rye bread sandwiches, egg sandwiches, grilled croissant, and much more - all made gluten free if you wish.
Also a large drink variety, cold fresh juices, fresh coffee and chocolate drinks made on oat milk, and of course some tea.
* The End
Well, here we go, the raw honest truth. The food was delicious, making a perfect scrambled egg is art, and they nailed it!
Grilled croissant was a first one of this kind for me and definitely a cool idea, though my love for a simple freshly baked croissant is greater.
The bowl had a perfect balance of all topics and the size was perfect for breakfast / lunch, very full.
Last but not leas the 100% eggs avocado sandwich, heavenly! But in my opinion the one thing on the menu which feels a little overprice, even though the eggs where perfectly made.
In my opinion, this place is definitely worth one meal sometime, but definitely not a "must". read more
