Reviews
Food was quite good. We had biscuits and gravy, Bee Gee breakfast, poutine and vegetarian burrito. Very tasty. The wait was ridiculously long even for Portland. The other sticking point was their prices. Very overpriced. The food was good, not revolutionary and there are no free refills on beverages. So, meaning we were charged $4.75 for each drink and refill. So in all we spent $150 for breakfast for four people. It’s an old house with old furniture and old tableware. If the pricing were more in line with what people were receiving, we would come much more often. But we wish them well.
It's what I wanted for brunch. The people were nice, atmosphere was chill, and food was good. Be warned, they lean on the vegetarian side though they do serve meat. Also, the food is good but it's not salted so that you can do yourself. This is not a bad thing, some places hide Mid food with seasonings/salt, this wasn't the place for that.
Pancakes were great, French Toast was good, Biscuits and Gravy I should have had them add meat but was fine without, and wife loved their eggs Benedict, sauce was so smooth and the whole thing great.

Food, coffee, and tea were all absolutely delicious! It did seem like the staff were overwhelmed as they kept forgetting things like parts of our dishes, sugar for the coffee, etc. I noticed they did the same for the table next to us, so it must have been a busy morning. Really enjoyed the simplicity of the menu, as well as how many gf and vegan options were provided. They've done a fantastic job with this place, and I'll definitely be back for more!
This place must survive off of the uniqueness of its interior, which really is a flashback to the early 60s. While that was wonderful, the service at Radio Room was horrendous. It wasn’t bad because the staff were not friendly; it was bad because they were the most INATTENTIVE staff I have EVER experienced. I think the staff there are just counting on the fact that this place must be written up in all the tourist guidebooks about visiting Alberta Street in Portland. They do not actually have to try to do anything worthwhile while they are on the clock! We had to ask for a SPOON to eat soup…twice. And before that, we had to ask to even order food ( because the server took our drink order and then walked away and didn’t come back for a half an hour!!!). They hadn’t even ask if we wanted to order food along with our drinks. Really??!?!? Then, after our first drink, we had to yet again get the attention of someone to order more. We were just asking to spend our money and it was difficult to do that at this place!! SO BE ADVISED; in Portland, where there are MANY places that have delicious food and drink, and even atmosphere, avoid this place and go somewhere where you will get your moneys worth.
This location is in what seems like a house. Very cute. The decor and plants make it feel cozy.
I tried the vegan French toast and it was very tasty.

This place is so cute, amazing service. A blast to eat at.
I loved my salmon and zero proof drink that was orange.
Unfortunately my partner didn't enjoy the pasta he got. But I still enjoyed my experience.

The food was off the charts delicious, and the vibe was so chill. The place felt super welcoming and was just the place to be for a burger on a rainy Portland night. From the mouthwatering menu to the friendly staff, it's a spot I'd hit up again without a doubt.
Great gluten-free and vegetarian options. This place was excellent for a nice, cozy brunch along historic Hawthorne. The coconut, Filbert toast was delicious with perfectly cooked eggs and bacon. My partner had the biscuit breakfast and loved every bite. The grapefruit mimosa was balanced and fresh. We will be back!
So delicious! I got the the house French toast and vegetable hash with hot chocolate. Highly recommend this spot. Good vibes too.
First off, let me say that the first time I encountered The Leaky Roof was when I had to find a restroom that would accommodate a gaggle of 12-year-old girls after a local club soccer match several years ago. The restaurant to my surprise didn't bat an eye.
Fastforward to today: Leaky Roof is my go-to anytime I'm in PDX for brunch or pre-Timbers-match food. Food is consistently delicious (I recommend the potato cakes) and the cocktails are spot-on. The atmosphere is that of a cozy local pub - where everyone may not know your name but friendly faces abound. Oh, and they are still as nice as that one fateful Saturday afternoon. :-)

The highlight of the Huevos Benedictos was the biscuit without question. Poached egg was perfect but the shredded bbq pork didn’t seem to pair well. The Bacon & Spinach Skillet was extremely creamy and felt a bit overwhelmingly heavy but the taste, flavor and heat (literally) was on point. Cute brunch spot and fabulous customer service.
My husband and I were looking for a nice place to grab a drink while waiting for an appointment and ended up in this gem. We took our 1 yr old, and they accomodated us without hesitation. The happy hour food was great and the atmosphere was simply amazing! Will definitely go back for a date soon.
I was in town for a day to catch a flight home and was fortunate to stumble upon this beautifully, unassuming, and cozy establishment. To my delightful surprise, my taste buds were treated to a lovely and hearty breakfast. The staff were great, the regulars were kind and helpful, and I would 100% return here.
Looked up Portland Best breakfast and my expectations were blown out of this world! The staff are AMAZING & so attentive they all get a round of applause! They had a phenomenal bacon & egg skillet with such diverse flavors and it came with an incredible side salad and biscuit I added the vegetarian gravy and had to say it was the best gravy I’ve had! The drip coffee was buttery and had robust flavor and they had oat milk dairy substitute!! ❤️ I will never go anywhere else in Portland for breakfast 🫶🏼 🏳️🌈
Amazing! So cozy with the fire going, and I loved the retro vibe of the place. This might be my new favorite spot.
Bar tender was great - attentive and fun. Lots of NA options, including some late night coffee which I appreciated.
Get the Golden Milk!

Perfectly dim, swanky super hip mid-century vibe with excellent service, food and drinks while playing a good selection of alt rock/punk...perfect! Even have an artist collection card series in a modified cigarette machine! Can't wait to return!
Little Griddle does not leave you wanting bigger portions! Straightforward establishment, with cozy vibe. Very friendly staff and wonderful and tasty menus. Vegan biscuits and gravy was awesome!
Very cute atmosphere but the food was so disappointing. I got the hot nurse (take on a hot toddy and it was very good) and the eggs Benedict with potatoes and prosciutto. The Benny was so disappointing. Very little flavor and the biscuit was so hard that even my soggy day old leftovers broke the fork. Potatoes were salty but still good. Not worth the 90 minute wait
Really, really loved this place. Great vibes, excellent happy hour menu, fantastic cocktails (although I wish there more gin cocktails). The French fries were absolutely delicious and the portions were good for two people sharing a handful of dishes. Would definitely recommend.
So glad I decided to stop in Leaky Roof. Visiting from out of state. They exceeded my expectations in every way. Warm, welcoming, and relaxed environment.
Ordered take out for the first time this morning usually I dine in and usually I have a pleasant experience. DOUBLE CHECK your order when you leave because by the time I got to the office and checked my food it was wrong. Directions weren't followed, received the wrong tea, and the side order of bacon was extremely greasy. Maybe its lack of help for quality checks or attention to detail...either way check your order!
The restaurant is a true Portland experience (As in a house turned restaurant) there is porch seating and plenty of space inside as well.
The woman who cooked our food actually delivered it to us and was funny and really nice to speak too.
There were 5 of us and we could hear each other no problem. Even though people were behind us we couldn’t hear them so it’s definitely a place that you can have conversation over drinks after eating.
The staff over was nice and again just very Portland Vibes and a place to take friends and family when they visit.
Parking wasn’t bad we did get there soon after they opened; so I can’t speak on how it is later in the day with Hawthorne being a busy area and having stores all around. I feel that’s just another Portland thing though and doesn’t take away from the restaurant or the experience it self.
Overall my party and I loved it and will mostly be visiting again! 🤩

The Keto Bowl (pictured) was fresh, delicious & so healthy! The Cauliflower Soup was delicious BUT tepid and not hot which is why I can’t give them 5 stars. Cute sitting area inside with an area to purchase additional drinks, snacks, swag & beauty items. I would return!
Ok. I have traveled extensively around the country (47 out of 50 states). I live here in Portland and this is my go to spot for chicken and waffles. I have not found a better place to have them than this one. The staff ( Kenna , a server, and the GM Andy) are awesome and know my order without me saying anything. Doesn't hurt that I've ordered the same thing the last 10 times but still 🙂 . You will not regret coming here so do so as soon as possible. Great spot.
Cute brunch spot, large dishes and vegan options, in an old house with a lot of character. Good coffee and good food. Popular and on-street parking only. My vegan scramble was satisfying.
Stylish cozy place with pretty good food and drinks. Service was a bit sparse for as empty as it was. Never the less I'd like to stop back in for dinner next time.
Super friendly service and seriously knock-it-out-of-the-park fantastic food. Heavy food, but no regrets. Well, maybe my only regret was opting for the White Russian as a hot drink instead of cold. Regret that choice, but that's on me!
Got a take out order here as they had high reviews and saw that they had plenty of vegan options. Wanted to like this place more as the food was definitely healthy and made from scratch, but the Caesar salad was pretty flavorless and the vegan breakfast sandwich didn’t really go well with the bread they used.
Shrimp and grits dinner special just fair
Drinks were excellent. Others within our party raved about the halibut special. Service was excellent. No issue breaking the check down into fourths. Waitress did not miss a beat. Prices were upscale but felt fair. Great atmosphere. Open dining area with open kitchen in a corner of the large room. Comfortable.

Delicious! Definitely homemade! A great gem!
We got the steak and eggs & biscuits with gravy! Yummy!

We came here on vacation and got the lobster Benedict and an omelette and the food was just phenomenal! They make the white and wheat bread in house and though there was a bit of a wait for our brunch, every bit of the food was perfection. The roasted potatoes? Amazing. The omelette? Incredible. The hot chocolate? Good stuff topped with cocoa powder and whipped cream. It is so worth it!
We came to this spot for brunch. We must have come when the chef was having a bad day🤣🤣 I never knew you could burn something as simple as French toast. My friend ordered a sweet potato hash. She didn't like it because there were burnt pieces... we know that hash has charred pieces but the pieces really don't compliment sweet potatoes.
Very well constructed flavors! Everything felt like it was made from scratch and they took their time perfecting recipes.
Service was fast and friendly.
Mimosas were also well balanced and didn't taste like cheap champagne.

Service was great. Everything tasted fresh, like it was home-made. The place is pretty small and fills up quickly so you might have to wait a bit esp if you go during peak breakfast time.
Cute little place in Portland. My son is vegan so it was nice to have lots of options. Sandwich was good. Lattes were good too. I'd definitely go back!
This space is a cute vibe, we came in here on Labor Day, really appreciate your staff for being there on a Holiday. Immediately greeted & sat, our server was attentive without being over bearing. We tried multiple dishes, all delicious, so beautifully presented, we especially appreciated the breakfast sandwich with bacon, it was flavorful without being over pretentious(happens a-lot in Portland). The server with the cool mustache even followed us out on the street to give us our leftovers we forgot, thank you. Would recommend & we will be back!
I have spent a ridiculous number of hours in this cafe over the last year and a half. Navis is one of the few "cafe vibe" type places in the area that is open past 3pm. I am in school every day from early morning through the afternoon and haven't found any other place where I can come after school and have enough time to get anything done before closing. Navis has gotten me through the toughest finals weeks of dental school. The vibe is perfect, nice music playing, not too loud, ambient sound from the cafe, nice view through the wall of windows, there is one table in the corner with an outlet that I definitely monopolize. There is even an outdoor seating area that's great during the summer. The draft latte is delicious and keeps me going. When I get hungry it has the perfect food for a snack or a meal with options for me (vegan) and my friends with no dietary restrictions. Prices are very fair The service is great. No one has ever been upset with me for ordering just a coffee or two and staying posted up at a table with my laptop out for the entire day. Highly recommend.
Very nice variety of drinks and lovely-looking treats, sandwiches and bowls, with plenty of vegan options.
I am usually not a brunch person but this place blew my mind. The Maine maple latte, lobster Benedict on cornbread, and fried green tomatoes left me very happy! Great service too!
The lobster benedict was delicious and service was good. The only disappointment was 'MP' was $40, while you can walk a mile down the road and get a whole lobster at other restaurants for ~$25-30; which is what I would have expected to pay. Very good, but better options for the price.
Quaint and lovely atmosphere. Excellent customer service. Nice selection of wines and cocktails. The Seared Tuna was delicious on the Farm Salad but the salad itself could be more flavorful.
Staff members were friendly and attentive at this family owned establishment. They have 2 levels of seating, 2 all gender bathrooms on the first floor, and some outdoor seating on the second floor. They also have highchairs. We had the Louisiana bayou benedict and the house smoked salmon plate. Our waitress said the crab cake Benedict is really popular, too. Be mindful that the smoked salmon plate is not lox; however the salmon we had was a touch dry. Bourbon smash cocktail was also delicious (they ran out of the blueberry puree and the waitress offered us a substitute strawberry puree).
Overall, I would come back to try some of their other offerings.

Long wait at another place, decided to walk a block away to this spot. Super glad we did. The food was delicious, coffee was great, the atmosphere was perfect and there wasn't a wait! Highly recommend 10/10. Try the shashuka, be a little adventurous if this kind of food isn't on your typical radar.
I've been wanting to visit this place for a while. I enjoyed the service however I didn't enjoy my shrimp and grits. The shrimp were extremely small and the bacon was soggy because it was swimming in butter or oil. I was thinking maybe they ran out the large shrimp but if that's the case then the dish should of been 86'd. I'd give the place another chance but I wouldn't order the shrimp n grits which is the only reason I went my bfs meal was good and we enjoyed the cocktail.
The waitress was very nice and knowledgeable. The way she described the food made you want it even more. The gluten-free cornbread was delicious!!! The shrimp and grits...🤤❤️🔥
One word to describe this place... scrumptious. Enjoyed the strawberry cheesecake french toast and added on an overeasy egg. Every item is a huge serving so bring an empty stomach and think about sharing with who you came with. I highly recommend the latte with a dark chocolate flavor shot. The place is small and gets busy so be prepared to wait. There is some seating outside for when it's nice, but you can get pooped on by the birds/seagulls (happened to my friend!)
Overall, it's definitely a place you want to make it to while you are in Portland!

Renae and her staff at Navis Cafe provided us with a perfectly wonderful "bridal breakfast" which our daughter's bridal party enjoyed as they got ready for her wedding in June. We had an early start that morning and Renae had everything ready for pick up when the cafe opened at 7 am. Breakfast sandwiches, fruit salad, chocolate chip cookies and coffee....all fresh and delicious. It was exactly what we were hoping for. We stopped in at the Cafe several other times during the weekend and had the same great experience....delicious food, friendly service and an inviting atmosphere. Thank you, Renae. I will definitely stop in whenever I'm in Portland. I highly recommend Navis Cafe!

Friendly staff, cute restaurant, and PERFECT food! Among the best southern style breakfast not only in Portland, but anywhere! There may be a bit of a line, but well worth the wait!!
Not bad, pretty respectable bagel breakfast sandwich. Quick service. If you're at one of the hotels in the immediate area it's really convenient to swing around the corner here.
Only reason I give it a 4 is I felt like it's missing a bit of character or vibe, but maybe that's just me.

Incredible! Easily one of our favorite breakfasts in Portland. My mom was raving about the breakfast sausage for days after our visit. We both loved the maple iced tea and waffles. Be prepared for a little wait (as is normal around here) but it's worth it. The chowder was also perfectly balanced and didn't skimp out on shrimp or sausage. I'd happily visit again!
Wow! Truly incredible food, fantastic service, and a fun but cozy atmosphere. I am so impressed with how good the food and coffee is here. We ordered the lobster benedict (truly amazing) and the house made corn beef hash. The breakfast potatoes are top tier and the toast, oh my god. Clearly freshly baked! I’m so glad we incorporated this spot into our vacation itinerary.
Where to start. Went to Front Room after Googling the best pancakes in Maine. Front Room made the list for their silver dollar pancakes. Parking was easy on the street when they opened. There was also no wait as we were waiting out front when they unlocked the door at 9. Getting our drinks and the ordering process was easy. My daughter got the pancakes and I tried the French toast special, which I overheard the hostess raving about. Our food took about 30 minutes to make it to the table - others that ordered after us got theirs first, but whatever. My French toast (if you can call it that) and my daughters pancakes were both burnt. I also ordered a side of bacon, which was also a bit beyond overcooked. The French toast was more like stale slabs of Texas toast or whatever bread they used. As best as I could tell they weren't dipped in anything before cooking. I had to let the blueberry’s and lemon topping soak into the bread to make it soft enough to get past staleness and the burnt flavor. The person at the table next to me had the regular French toast off the menu and it looked like regular French toast and it looked good. The pancakes were not the silver dollar pancakes from all the reviews (which upon second reading are several years old). Two more notes: the bathroom is a mess with soap in a not labeled cooking squeeze bottle and the paper towel holder nearly falling off the wall. For all that, we paid over $50. It was like $8 for three burned pieces of bacon and my three slabs of stale bread was $18. There are way too many better places in and around Portland to get breakfast. Go to one of them instead for better, cheaper, and faster food.
LB Kitchen offers lighter, healthier options in bowls. The salmon in the Keto Bowl could have used a harder sear and the vegetables, more seasoning. The pickled egg added a colorful touch but I wish the pickled favor was more pronounced. The interior has a bright play area feel.
We had brunch at Hot Suppa on a Friday late morning. The food and service were pretty great, but I'm rating 4 out of 5 stars due to the inconvenience of not offering reservations.
Even at 10:30AM on a Friday, we had to wait 20 minutes for a table, which isn't *terrible*, but keeps me from giving it the best rating.
Also, parking seems to be "random chance" paid street parking, which is inconvenient as well (though unsurprising for a city restaurant).
I had the shrimp and grits based upon our very nice server's suggestion, and they were PHENOMENAL. Our table shared an order of the carrot and coconut french toast for dessert and it was delicious.
The pecan bacon and cornbread were just passable- not bad, but nothing to rave over.
The atmosphere was cute, but crowded. We were ushered onto their "back porch" area, which was down an alley and some stairs- not ideal for mobility impaired folks.
All that said, this was one of my favorite meals in Portland, and I would definitely return if I'm in the city again.

Food is fantastic! We didn’t know the place had a Bulgarian bent and wow! So good. And, I left my license there by mistake and they were so nice to keep it safe! Great food and nice people. Highly recommend.
Delicious breakfast and amazing service!! I am totally spacing on our server’s name, but she had gorgeous tattoos on her arms. Loved the shrimp and grits and the benedict was awesome. Star of the show was the carrot cake and coconut French toast!!
Food is delicious. The smoked salmon is made in house, so totally recommend. They also make the bread here which was also tasty. Ingredients seemed fresh. Would visit again
Cutest, coziest, comfiest breakfast spot! Always a little wait, always worth it. We got a breakfast sandwich and a scramble, then split a cinnamon bun pancake which was MASSIVE. We appreciated the fact they were able to make some substitutions for us, no problem at all. I definitely love that they use local vendors like Rose foods for bagels. We'll be back for sure!
This stylish place is in a great location in the middle of Alberta street. Interior is designed in a retro theme. Staff is very friendly and hardworking. We ordered burgers and fries which was the best fries I’ve ever eaten. Burger and beer were also great. You can taste high quality ingredients. I ordered bun-free lettuce burger which was also very good and durable. We absolutely loved this place.
Vibe: nice open room with kitchen in the back corner, some outdoor seating
Service: great service from wait staff although there were only two people in the kitchen so we waited just under an hour for food
Food: very good, absolutely LOVED the french toast: delicious custard, good texture, perfect portion, real maple syrup. Had a bite of the croque madam which was very good. Home fries were good but nothing special. Had a mocha latte which was fine.
Value: $$ pricing felt on point for quality and quantity of food
Other: street parking nearby is somewhat limited, we were able to park down at the end of the road in a lot near the shore.
Overall this was a good breakfast although food service was on the slow side. Highly recommend the french toast.

Tasty sandwiches and salads. Great selection of wine and local brews (on tap). The service was friendly and surprisingly fast considering how busy they were with locals as well as passengers waiting to board a small cruise ship departing that evening.
Amazing service. Great sandwich with some great views if you sit outside or near the window inside!
The sourdough bread is well toasted and really awesome for The Bow sandwich. my wife said that her clam chowder was delicious and you could actually SEE the clams with every spoonful!

Stopped in to Bayside American Cafe on my last day in Portland. What an excellent way to end the trip. I was initially thrown off by the surrounding neighborhood being a bit sketchy, but I found the atmosphere warm and inviting. I was immediately welcomed when I arrived by staff and seated upstairs. I ordered a Mimosa to start and a coffee. The mimosa was great and the coffee was strong. What I enjoyed most about my visit was that our waiter actually tasted the food. I find it excellent when I visit an establishment where the staff can make recommendations based on having previously tasted the menu. Our waiter recommended the Lobster scramble and cinnamon roll pancake. I can understand why the pancake is the most popular, I enjoyed it but found it a bit thicker than I typically like my pancakes. It was very delicious and not overly sweet. The Lobster scramble on the other hand was AMAZING! The goat cheese mixed with the fresh lobster went so very well together and that homemade wheat bread has a nice subtle sweetness. I can’t wait to come back to Portland and stop by for another meal.
This place was an excellent brunch spot and very much worth the wait. We had very friendly and knowledgeable servers, great food, and a warm friendly atmosphere. There’s definitely a good reason this place is busy. Parking is downtown street parking, so do be prepared to drive around a bit to find a spot and walk back. We really enjoyed our mochas, poutine (though it was smaller than we’d hoped), and the mushroom gravy. The cheese scallion biscuits were delicious, as well, but a little denser than the southern biscuits we’re accustomed to. The tea-infused compote with the French Toast was also incredible! I wish they sold the tea blend, as they make it in house. All in all, a lovely place and I really hope we’ll make it back again soon!
I would go as far as to say this was the best brunch I have ever had. WELL worth the wait. We had the cinnamon bun pancake (kids size and it was huge), Strawberry Cheesecake French toast, and one of the scrambles. Everything was phenomenal. The cream cheese frosting on the French toast and pancakes was the best thing I have ever tasted. Highly highly recommend!
This cafe is wonderful! It’s become our coffee stop on our weekly Eastern Prom loop. The coffee is delicious and the treats are lovely. The staff is accommodating and always gives us a little bag to carry our baked goods back to the homestead. Always look forward to visiting!
Perfect start for the day, Navis breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel with cold brew coffee latte on tap.
I was so excited to go to this place! I had it bookmarked ahead of our trip. The mimosa flights are what caught my eye and they did NOT disappoint. So cute and colorful! And my breakfast sammie was so delicious. The kyufte took it to another level. The staff was very friendly and talkative which we liked. Can’t wait to come back again!
Their new place is beautiful and they have fantastic healthy bowls for breakfast, brunch and lunch. Love the concept of this place and promotion of eating healthy! They have wide selection of smoothies, really good coffee too and you can buy a heated broth-drink?! Amazing place!
We came here on a whim because I didn’t recognize the name and thought it might be new. It was SO amazing that we literally came back with more people the next day for brunch. We tried multiple dishes and shared them, and there wasn’t a bad bite. We don’t eat meat, and there were tons of options that worked with our diet. The presentation was just as good as the flavors, textures, and ingredient quality.
We tried the Zara toast (twice), the mushroom toast (twice), the eggs panagura, Shakshuka, crumpets, and the eggplant small plate. I can’t even pick a favorite.
The staff were amazing, too! We were greeted by and chatted with multiple people, and I cannot wait to go back again!

Wow. We popped in just before they got busy for lunch. Zero complaints. One super busy, fantastic person playing hostess, waiting tables and running the bar. They did a spectacular job as the lunch crowd began to grow.
Food was amazing. A-MAZE-ING I say! I ordered the Bacon Bleu Burger with no changes from the menu. This burger was juicy, flavorful, and each item on their own had wonderful flavor, but when all eaten together, swoon worthy! The pub bun held up well as the juices increased with each bite. Hubby liked the Reuben and said you could tell the corned beef was fresh and was one of the best Reubens he’s ever had-if not the best. The fries were pretty good as well with the right amount of crunch and seasonings. We did not try any house cocktails, just simply because we weren’t in the mood today.

We found this place for our last breakfast in Portland and we're not disappointed. The food and coffee were all delicious! I loved the Harissa Salad and Avocado Toast. The GF pancake was also wonderful and had some fantastic spices.
Our only issue with the place is that they only offer patio seating outside in the back and it's freezing cold. Some heaters out there would make it a bit more bearable. But since we didn't realize that was our only option to to eat there and didn't have time to go anywhere else, we were disappointed with how cold it was to eat. Made it hard to enjoy fully.

My husband and I love trying new things. And boy does that bring some of the best experiences we have. Not only was the staff amazing, but the food definitely gets a homemade stamp of approval. If you have been crazing some authentic Bulgarian food, well here it is. It was light, yet fulfilling. We also had the joy of meeting the owners and hearing their story of how this lovely cafe came to be. We will absolutely be back and if you haven't gone, then you are missing out. (This photo doesn't do any justice to how great it tasted)
My biscuit sandwich was really tasty! My egg was fried hard and I really enjoyed the unique flavors with the pepper jam. I shared some of the pancake which was also good! The coffee was good and refilled often! The server was friendly and efficient! The place is small so we had to wait about 30 minutes, but I enjoyed wandering around in the neighborhood stores.
This place is deliciousness. The second time we ate here I got the granola boat and a side of eggs with an iced mocha. My friend got the Thai tea and said it was amazing. The staff couldn’t be any more friendly. A sunny and airy atmosphere. Truly a flight of fantasy, I would highly recommend eating here
SO delicious! This is a new favorite for me. The Bulgarian-influenced food is so flavorful and I was pleasantly surprised at how light and refreshing everything was. The mekitsi (crumpets with cheese and honey) and parzhen (eggplant fritters) were my personal favorites, but I’d recommend anything with the Bulgarian cheese or Lutenitza spread - a savory, roasted red pepper dip that’s not to be missed! The butterfly tea was a fun cherry on top of an excellent meal.
The atmosphere is relaxed and the staff and owners were all warm and attentive . I will definitely be back for some cocktails and brunch soon!

First visit. Stopped in for a quick beer. Cozy place but pretty cool. Decided to get the fries for a snack. They were AMAZING with the fry sauce. I'd give 5 stars but they were out of the Irish red beer we wanted to try. Staff was super friendly.
The food was so wonderful and our waitress was amazing! Sweet potato fries, onion rings, and honey mustard was out of this world. The bacon bleu burger with the black bean patty and the tuna melt with Sriracha were to die for. I always wanted to go here because the food looked so good and I was not dissapointed! 10/10 would come again. Nice people, cool pub atmosphere and parking was easy!
