    It was amazing, very kind people, great service, food, and the ambiance is so calming and nice

    Very Berry Day Toast Pesto Benedict

    A LOCAL GEM! It was fire we licked the plates clean and our server was so sweet! Will be back

    Server was nice and ambiance is great, food came quick too. Only downside was we were attacked by a Junebug while sitting outside but I made it out luckily.

    Found this gem through a Chef's reel and it did not disappoint! Great food, awesome vibes, and top-tier service. Meeting the owner's wife was such a nice personal touch; she's incredibly sweet. Highly recommend! Food was amazing!!!

    Carne Asada Burrito with potatoes
    Erik O.

    Ambience: intimate Service: seated under 5 mins and order taken within 6 mins. Waitress and cook were friendly Seating: Outside (no interior review) Food: asada burrito had generous amount of cheese and meat, thick and not overly greasy Not the best place for coffee... the coffee was watered down and quite disappointing, I'm not sure if you're doing a pour over but you need to change suppliers. Should the coffee be corrected, it had a 5 star potential

    Country breakfast
    Alicia T.

    Sooooo good! We went for the first time today and everything was exceptional. Service? 10/10. Everyone was so friendly. The chef, Glen, actually came out to chat with us about the menu, shared his personal favorites, and even told us how the tomato soup (which... OMG, we'll get to that) literally came to him in a dream. Our server Kim was the sweetest and so helpful the whole time. The vibes? Immaculate. We sat outside and it genuinely felt like we'd been teleported to Europe or New Orleans -- cozy, charming, perfect. Now the food... the pictures will speak for themselves, but here's the rundown: * Mushroom soup: 100/10 * Tomato soup: 101/10 * Three cheese grilled cheese: 100/10 * Country breakfast: 10/10 * BBQ chicken wrap: 10/10 Already obsessed. Cannot wait to go back.

    Classic breakfast

    The last time I reviewed was for the take home family meals during the covid era. I wanted to make a review about how much fun we are having each month at the Vinyl Brunch. We love bringing in our records for the dj to play. He is wonderful! Kim, Glenn, and staff are the best. Service is always with a big smile. We feel like family here. Ambiance is gorgeous. The weather has been beautiful for outdoor brunch. We love the pigs in a blanket. We also love the breakfast burritos, omelets, potatoes, Benedicts, pesto eggs, and more! The pancakes are out of this world fluffy and delicious. I typically do not care for breakfast sausage, however the one they use here is crazy delicious. Its such good quality and I wish I could eat it every day haha. The salmon pesto benedict is also a unique take on the dish. The sangria is spectacular. Can't wait till the next vinyl brunch!

    The King Toast Croissant Sandwich

    beautiful ambiance, wonderful friendly staff, heart warming chef, delicious food, please come eat breakfast here i love it, will definitely be returning!!!!

    I enjoyed supporting family owed business, it's hidden inside this beautiful building! Got myself the Blast sandwich, it was super fresh and tasty. Staff was friendly, great customer service.

    I had the build yoir own omelet with a sub of cottage cheese which they willingly substituted for the cottage potatoes and toast
    Paul K.

    Head in the courtyard and head right to have great food from people that love serving their patrons.. Food was delicious, quality ingredients and great chefs made a breakfast that was tasty, portioned so that we were satisfied, and presented in a way that would be expected from a high quality breakfast café. The service was great. We were greeted by the owner who was very friendly and made sure we were well taken care of. Everyone who came through the door is treated like a special customer.

    This place needs more attention. I loved every moment dining here. From the second I walked in the owners were really welcoming. Its a beautiful location tucked away near cafe Hidalgo. The food itself was good as well. Definitely fulfilled my breakfast cravings. Thanks brownstone!

The restaurant itself is small and cozy with a comfortable atmosphere, but seating is limited. It can get busy during peak hours, so waiting is expected. There are also outdoor tables along the street that you can use when the weather is nice. Prices and portion sizes are reasonable, making it a good option for a casual breakfast or brunch. They were out of cold brew during my visit, so I ordered an iced coffee instead, but it was served a bit lukewarm, which was slightly disappointing. The omelet and Cobb salad were both flavorful and well prepared. The staff were friendly and provided good service. Overall, a cozy breakfast spot with solid food and a welcoming atmosphere.

The service was fast and efficient, and the staff stayed attentive throughout our visit, making sure we had everything we needed. One thing I really loved about this cafe was the atmosphere. There are plenty of seating areas, making it a great place to hang out or catch up with friends. The overall vibe is cozy and inviting, which makes me want to keep coming back.

We also remembered to validate so we didn't need to spend $10 on parking. I had the Grilled Broccolini Omelette, it was sooooo good! Perfectly cooked eggs, so much gooey gruyere cheese, garlic confit, and loads of tender broccolini inside. I got the mushroom fries again for my side and they were just as good as I remember. Husband had their Cremini Mushroom Toast and added a poached egg. His toast was awesome! Cream cheese, super garlicky mushrooms, and gremolata topped the sourdough bread. Yum!

I wasn't too keen on the ordering by QR code at the table, since it was our first visit, but since I didn't notice anyone hanging around the cash register, we did it.

My friend loved her iced lavender matcha and enjoyed her breakfast burrito though she thought the bacon bits were too thick compared to other places. Appreciated that they validate parking. Overall, pretty nice experience dining on the shady patio with a breeze.

The restaurant has plenty of seating and the staff is very welcoming. They also were playing great music here ;)) My partner and I shared a breakfast burrito and the churro waffle.

It's not too sweet and comes with banana and whipped cream. Shoutout to our server Kezia she was so attentive and kind :) You should definitely come try this place out!

We arrived at the restaurant and the hostess at the front was cutting people she knew ahead of others waiting in line for a table. We finally get called to our table and when we were shown the table it was filthy. I asked the same hostess to please have someone clean the table and she has the audacity to take a dry paper towel to just wipe the table really quick and she says "someone already wiped the table down". It was not wiped down, we saw them pick up the dishes and never wipe down the table; in fact the check was still on the table. We are waiting and waiting for someone to come take our order and we have to flag someone down after waiting 15 minutes. The waitress comes over with an attitude and takes our order with the crappiest mood. She leaves and a while later someone else brings our food but no one ever brought our drinks. I had ordered a tea and remind the waitress. She leaves and comes back with the nastiest dirtiest, clearly used cup. I complain to her I want a clean cup and she gets visibly bothered and returns with a broken cup. Everything was clearly done on purpose. What a terrible unprofessional waitress. We never understood why the heck she had such hostility towards us. Management needs to do a better job in training their employees in being professional. We will not be returning.

The space is super picturesque so come ready to pose. Every little space has a theme that feels a bit different.

The outdoor area has a good amount of shades spots that block the sun and its heat. The coffee menu is unique and delicious. The drinks are really well thought out.

I stayed for three hours, and I ended up asking for two hot water refills for my tea. My seat was so soft and plush, I never felt restless. Plus, the music was the perfect background noise for maintaining focus. Even the sandwich was light on my stomach, so I didn't get a food coma. All in all, I was very comfortable and very content. The ONLY reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5... parking was really hard! Maybe my mom and I were naive, but we were shocked by all the cars on a Thursday at 1:30pm. Even the nearby library was full. My mom made me get out and order first, so I'm not quite sure where she parked... anyway... I'll end by saying again that the back garden is adorable!
