Knowledgeable Staff and Great Vegan Meal
My experience at this restaurant was excellent. The staff were knowledgeable about the food and happy to answer any questions I had. I enjoyed an alcoholic cocktail with my vegan meal, which was a great combination. The service, kid-friendliness, atmosphere, and food all received a perfect score of 5. Everything from the workers to the menu and the bathroom was simple for our younger table mates to navigate, making it a great experience for families.

Good Food, Minor Issues
My experience at this restaurant was generally positive, with the food standing out. We visited for Sunday morning brunch and were pleasantly surprised by the minimal wait. I personally enjoyed the house hash, noting that the short rib was well-made. The other dishes ordered by my party were also good. However, there were a couple of minor drawbacks: the chairs were a concern, with one nearly breaking, and the street parking only can be inconvenient. Overall, the food quality made up for these small issues.

Great Brunch Spot, Lattes a Bit Sweet
My experience at this restaurant was great. It's a top spot in the city for brunch. Everything we had was great. However, the lattes are a bit sweet, so if you're a matcha connoisseur, you might want to skip them.

Excellent Brunch, Worth the Wait
My experience at this cafe for brunch was fantastic. The food was excellent, and the servers were very friendly. However, be prepared for a long wait on the weekends.

Not dog friendly, no patio
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing. I was looking forward to dining here, but it's important to note that this establishment is not dog friendly and unfortunately, they do not have a patio. This was a significant letdown as I had hoped to bring my dog along.

Great Food, Long Waits on Weekends
My experience at this restaurant was great for either breakfast or lunch, depending on when I arrived. However, the wait times on Saturday and Sunday can be long. I highly recommend "The Big Spoon". The atmosphere, service, and food all received a perfect score of 5. Parking is available via paid street parking. The price per person is estimated to be $20–30.

Fantastic Brunch Spot with Great Options
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! It's a great spot with a variety of brunch options. I particularly enjoyed the soft scramble eggs with smoked salmon, which was absolutely fantastic. I highly recommend stopping by!

Delicious Benedict and Crepes, Nice Vibe
My experience at the restaurant was quite positive. The food was very good. I tried the Benedict, which was different from typical ones and had a slightly tangy flavor. The crepes were also good, not overly sweet. The vibe was nice, and I would recommend this place. However, be prepared for a potential wait.

Solid Breakfast Spot with Vegan Options
My experience at this restaurant was positive. It's a solid breakfast spot, although a bit pricey. I was very happy that they offer vegan eggs, which I believe are the Just brand. I highly recommend trying the huevos divorciados.
