I’ve been wanting to try this spot for a while, but haven’t been able to snag a brunch reservation. We came in on a Thursday, and it wasn’t too busy, so my wife and I were able to grab a table with our toddler.<br><br>This place did not disappoint!<br><br>First, the coffee. We had two iced oat milk lattes, and they were phenomenal. Sometimes restaurants have lackluster coffee even when the food is great, but the coffee here tasted like it came straight out of a specialty coffee shop. So, so good.<br><br>For food, my wife had the cheddar omelet, I had the Pork Benedict, and we shared a couple of waffles. Just wow. Both dishes were balanced and delicious, and the waffles were out of this world.<br><br>I’m so happy we came in today. This will definitely be one of my go-to spots, as long as I can get a table. 😅

Response from the owner

Gianfranco, we're stoked you finally made it in! So happy the coffee lived up to your expectations – we take our lattes seriously around here. Sounds like you hit all the right menu items, and we love that the waffles were a hit! Thanks for bringing the family and for the amazing review. We'll do our best to keep a table ready for you. Cheers!

PERFECT PLACE<br><br>Everything is that great, I was expecting it to cost twice more, but no. The food, the service, the interior - all up to par.<br><br>I can only notice that my burger should have been rare but end up being well done<br><br>But even with that, one of the best places for breakfast in whole NYC

Delicious high quality - flavors are amazing! OH and their gluten-free bred was delicious, thick, soft, perfect!! Even if you are not gluten-free, try the salmon toast with their gluten-free bread. Thank me later 😘

Such a great open atmosphere to have brunch. Everyone that works there is really nice and attentive. Most of the breakfast items I’ve tried have been tasty. Mostly go for the smoothies that feel wholesome, just wish they gave thicker straws since it’s hard to drink with the seeds and whatnot but it’s delicious nonetheless.

Response from the owner

Megan, stoked to hear you had such a great experience! We appreciate your kind words. Visit us again anytime!

I passed this place for years and always wanted to go. I stopped here around Happy Hour and the service was amazing!! Food and drinks were extremely tasty we had the parmesan fries, Beef Burger (juicy), Buffalo wings, Sweet Chili Wings, White Wine, Brazilian Sunset, and for dessert Ice Cream Sandwich. We loved it all!!

Response from the owner

Mate, that’s a proper Aussie way to review. Love it!<br>

All food was flavorful. The avocado toast was great. The crispy chicken sando was good too. The Aussie iced coffee, which is basically an iced latte with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, was delicious.

Response from the owner

Thanks! We're stoked you enjoyed the avocado toast, crispy chicken sando, and that Aussie iced coffee - it's definitely a crowd favorite! We love hearing when our flavors hit the mark. Can't wait to have you back for another delicious meal!

Fancy. Excellent fries and hash browns. Really good. Get whatever else but definitely the hash browns. Odd tasting Americano though. 🤔

Response from the owner

Anurag, we're so happy you loved our fries and hash browns - they're definitely fan favorites! We appreciate the feedback about the Americano and will share it with our team. Thanks for the fantastic review and can't wait to have you back soon!

A fun little brunch spot. All the food looked interesting, everything with a fun twist. That said, nothing quite delivered despite excellent presentation. The burger was not massively cacio e pepe in flavor, and the granola was very sour yogurt and fruit puree. I’d happily come back and try other menu items - everything came out looking great, and perhaps what we ordered just let us down a tad.

Response from the owner

Hey Blake! Thanks for giving us a shot and for the honest feedback. We're bummed the flavors didn't quite hit the mark this time, even though we're glad the presentation caught your eye! We'd love another chance to wow you — there's plenty more on the menu we think you'll dig. Hope to see you back soon!

This spot has become a favorite of mine and I make a stop every time I am in the city visiting! Today was the burger and the best sweet potato fries I have ever had! Such great service and how lucky was I to get Jordy again! Definitely a place to check out!

Response from the owner

So stoked you had a great time, Carmen! Feedback like yours makes our day. Come back soon for more good times!

I like to come to this spot at least once when I visit NYC and having tried the Pulled Pork Benedict and Kimchi Scramble before, loved both, I asked for the server’s recommendation and went with the Wild Mushroom Toast with added bacon. It was an interesting plate, in a good way. The chimichurri ricotta was a nice spread, there were plenty of mushrooms, but I found the herbed parmesan and maybe the garlic a bit too strong. I did enjoy it because it was different from my usual order, but I would rate the Benny (be hungry) and Scramble higher.<br>Looking forwards to next time I have the opportunity to visit, and maybe I’ll try something new or go back to my usuals.

Response from the owner

Julie, thanks for sharing your thoughts! We're stoked you enjoyed the different flavors and look forward to having you back to try more dishes. Cheers!

I had the most amazing steak & eggs 2 weeks ago so I was excited to order it again. Both times were take out. Both times same exact order. The first time, it was tender and perfectly cooked. I even microwaved it 2-3 days later because I couldn’t finish it, and it was still tender. This time, the steak was way over cooked. I ordered it to be cooked medium and this was in no way medium. There’s not a single speck of pink coloring at all. Pretty disappointed but it’s still good value at $21 I guess.

Response from the owner

Dana, we're sorry your recent meal didn't live up to your expectations. We consistently aim to provide high-quality dishes, and it's disappointing to hear when we miss the mark. We hope you'll give us another chance to deliver a memorable experience that meets our standards.
