- egg croissantegg croissant that tasted like a microwave sandwich
- eggsthe eggs were very overcooked
- food qualityThe food was actually horrible.
- mochathe mocha to be too sweet like hot chocolate
- portionsThe portions were a bit small.
- English breakfast teaThe egg croissant was almost inedible due to being overstuffed, causing it to break. There was no classic English breakfast tea available. To top it off, these tiny portions were way too expensive, even for organic ingredients.

- wait20 min wait during relatively quiet hours
- coffee refillIt was a bit pricey; $23 for a small portion of skillet omelette is very high. They didn't offer or care to refill coffee. Plus, they have some weird rules like not allowing phone calls or laptops.
- drink orderI asked for a lavender mocha and was met with an aggressive "no."
- long line upMy experience at this restaurant was centered around its great food. It's a tiny place, so I recommend going early to avoid the long line up.

- charming locationThe conversation of non-patrons dominated the petite space, involving discussions about intoxication, distress over running out of vegan options, and the large number of quiches to prepare, all peppered with expletives. This significantly changed the entire feel of this otherwise charming location. Given the intimate size, every conversation should be considered shared.

Value (3.4 out of 10)
mentioned by 19% of the guests
A small number of guests did find some positives regarding value, noting the quality-price-product was worth it and prices were reasonably priced for the quality they offer. These few positive remarks, totaling 4 out of 29 customer comments, suggest that a handful of diners felt they received fair value. However, the overwhelming sentiment, reflected in 23 negative comments, points to significant issues.
Many found the restaurant expensive and extremely overpriced, especially with no prices on the menu causing unexpected totals. With a score of just 3.4 (poor) and customer satisfaction at a mere 13.8% (poor), it's clear that value is a major dealbreaker for most, leaving many feeling they overpaid.

Amazing Fresh Food Experience
My experience at this restaurant this summer was absolutely amazing. As someone from South Florida, I can attest to the incredible freshness of everything we tasted. The food was truly amazing, and the freshness was memorable.
The service was excellent, rated a 5 out of 5, and the atmosphere was also very pleasant, rated a 4. It was a quiet environment, making it easy to converse. We enjoyed it for breakfast.

Cozy Neighborhood Gem with Delicious Food
This is truly a micro-cafe. If you’re looking for a neighborhood feel, this is it. Several people walking by popped in, waved hello and had a quick conversation with both patrons and those working.
You can tell this is a little neighborhood treasure. Beyond the ambiance, the food was great as well. Serving locally sourced and in-season dishes.
The menu is compact, but has enough flexibility to customize each of the dishes as you’d like. If you’re in the area, pop in for breakfast or brunch. You won’t be disappointed.
