The frosting was incredible though. That stuff could go on anything. The cinnamon buns at Oak Bakeshop and Whole Foods are much better with those typical gooey layers inside.

Rock music played not too loudly in the background as we were served and as we looked at the menu. The menu is digital. I hate this. Maybe they had a physical menu, but we didn't ask. We grumbled amongst ourselves and scanned the QR code and used our phones. It might seem like a small thing, but I really, really hate using my own phone to look at a restaurant's menu while at sitting at the restaurant. Anyways, I digress. For drinks, we got the chai latte (with oat milk) and coffee. We ordered the Special Eggs Benedict (half portion, for one person) and the shakshuska. The coffee was good. I appreciate the attentiveness of our server and that they came to refill the coffee. I really like the chai latte and glad that they listed which one it is (Rishi Masala Chai). The egg benedict has a really thick homemade bacon. It is soft and falls apart readily, but was a tad too salty. The bread was a bit tough and too thick for our liking (maybe we should have read the description more carefully oops, because when they say thick they meant thick). The fries were tasty. There was just one egg for a $26 benedict. The shakshuka was my first time trying shakshuka! To me, it tastes pretty similar to chili. I really enjoyed its tangy tomato and spicy flavors. There were two eggs in it. Honestly, I think it would be better with like four eggs. Now, the garlic bread: the garlic bread was so good, so garlicky. The garlic bread was both of our favorite. Overall, good vibes and good food and good customer service.

The food was absolutely delicious, the iced tea was great, and as someone born and raised in South Florida, I don't say this lightly: this might have been the best Cubano I've ever had. Seriously, the bread and mustard alone were incredible! What really made the experience special was the atmosphere. You could tell this place has its loyal regulars. The staff weren't just greeting people by name, they were asking, "Your usual?" That's the kind of neighborhood charm you just can't manufacture. This place is the epitome of a great local diner/cafe. Fantastic food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a genuine sense of community. If I lived nearby, I'd absolutely become one of those regulars!

The beer list isn't huge, but they have some local options and classics. Their cocktails and mocktails are fun, and the food menu is very diverse. I do wish they had a few more vegetarian late night options that weren't so high end/over the top unique, but I went with the Street Noodles tonight (love that they have a tofu option on their protein list!) They had a slight kick and the portion was so big I have leftovers. Over server was very attentive and helpful; it was a little less crowded here than I'm used to on a weekend night so we really got the royal treatment. They also host lots of events and have an amazing brunch service - it sounds weird and the upcharge is a little high, but the grilled tomatoes at brunch are INCREDIBLE and a must try! Same goes for the cheddar biscuits - they're just phenomenal. There's sometimes a DJ at brunch and it's more of a clubby vibe, but other times it's more chill, I'm not sure how you'd figure that out ahead of time. I thought they only had the small shared lot in the back, but I was today years old when I found out they have a large lot across the street, so it's actually quite easy to park here. An original, one of a kind spot, where you can tell whoever put the menu together wanted to offer out of the box options and not just another trite bar menu. This place is creative and just fills me with joy every time I'm here.

Service was friendly & helpful, and the menu offers many delicious sounding options. Food is fast casual style (order at the counter, get a card - here all were west side street signs, not the usual numbered placards, food will be delivered to your table. I had the avocado shakshuka, my husband had the lox omelet (see the photo). Despite the large menu of fancy coffee options, we each had a basic iced. It was served in a glass, which was a nice touch. Self serve milk was at a station in the dining room area. Coffee was good, cold but I would have traded some coffee for a bit more ice to stay that way as I drank it slowly. Both of us were surprised when our meals were delivered: the plates were beaut! In particular his omelet was absolutely gorgeous! Now for the flavors: the omelet had a generous helping of perfect cooked eggs (not sitting in a pile of grease, as restaurant omelets frequently are). It was so fluffy that we both thought "that's way more than the advertised 3 eggs," and the lox was thickly layered whole slices nestled inside the fold. Most places chop the lox like vegetables, add it to the eggs, & make it like a veggie omelet - meh. This iteration was perfect; the lox tasted like smoked salty fish, losing none of that flavor to the omelet itself. The potatoes? Fabulous! Great spice mix, cooked until they were crispy. That was a tasty bit of marble rye toast too. My shakshuka was very good, but a bit less successful. The elements were all excellent; the avocado was actually guacamole since it was mashed & there were tomatoes and spices in the dish. The combination worked, except for the bread element. The dish as presented was really more of an avocado toast with shakshuka on top. It might have been more successful to add the avocado/guacamole as a unique base on the plate, with the tomato sauce and eggs on top with toast on the side (as is the way shakshuka is traditionally served) because halfway through the bread got really soggy & less appetizing. Still, the first few bites, while everything was still warm? So good!

I debated whether or not to leave this review but after seeing a few others talk about the service…read moreI thought it was good to be honest. To be clear I ordered pick up and since it was my first time here and I'm rather short and it's hard to see through others, I missed seeing where the pick up orders sat (so that's kinda on me) and I waited in the line for no reason. I'm not faulting them for that! That being said it seems like Cru may need to work on their organization and flow. The lines appear to get a bit backed up (which it seems like a steady Sunday brunch flow nothing so crazy) and when it was my turn at the counter and I was just going to ask for my pick up the server said in a not apologetic or friendly tone before I could say anything "sorry I have a bunch of drinks to make so I'm gonna have to push you guys back." Now for me it's just an oh well I'm just grabbing this it should be ready and I leaned where the pick ups sit, but for the 8-10 people waiting in the line behind me it really felt like okay maybe you need someone else at front of house then (which would be I imagine a staffing issue and not this servers fault individually). Aside from this I really wanted to like cru as it's a somewhat more affordable place (and they REALLY tout this on their website to the max) so I think you could forget all the former info if the food was good but when it came to my food it was really just...fine. It makes sense how their lox sandwich could be so cheap as there was barely any smoked salmon (or cream cheese) and the omelette was meh as well. Not a ton of flavor to anything and nothing special. All in all I wouldn't return and I think it would be a bit disingenuous to give it any of a higher rating (and if there were half stars I'd probably give it lower). There are so many much better local places around so I wouldn't see any reason to return here.

I'm a vegan, which limits my menu sampling options. I ordered the roasted broccoli which was amazing 10/10. The crunchy topping on it should be available for sale - So so good. I also got the lumache pasta (sans cheese or duck). What was left in the vegan offering was pasta and broccolini with an oil and chilli flakes style sauce with fried garlic slices sprinkled on it. It was good - but wasn't as amazing as the broccoli. I do however recognize I removed the aspects of the dish that would have made it a 10/10. Parking is a challenge in the area with lots of bus lanes and one way streets so leave a little extra time to find parking if you are driving there. Definitely worth a trip!

It was remarkably underwhelming. The fish had a strange texture & the dish was completely lacking in flavor. Very bland. The best part was the golden berries. For the price (22 whole dollars) it was a huge let down. **When I saw this combination on the menu, I had to know more. I'm so glad we ordered this! It was delicious, rich yet also light & summery. I would definitely order this again. ***This dish absolutely stole the show. What a wonderful combination of textures & flavors. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Delicious! The portion size surprised me as well. I will be back! I might stay away from the overpriced raw bar next time. I'm still a fan of Bayberry & think this is a great place to take people when they're visiting from out of town.

The hostess kindly checked with Sarita, the bartender, who immediately welcomed us and took wonderful care of us throughout the evening. Her knowledge of wine was truly impressive, and her recommendations elevated the entire experience. Between courses, we were served a refreshing raspberry sorbet that was both elegant and delicious.
