    Kitchen was slammed so they gave the four of us two donuts. Last visit six weeks ago was better, so I am not giving up thanks to our server and previous visit.

    We ordered 2 hot drinks both were luke warm which is not great bc they were cold after 2 sips, the waitress spilled half of them when she slammed them down on the table. I asked for a skillet when I ordered the FATS and got an omelet. We are glad the food is always delicious so that is the constant we will come back for.

    Very friendly staff and good service. Delicious coffee- I bought beans to take home. The bakery goods are wonderful and it’s fun to watch the bakers in the separate open kitchen by the front windows.

    Nice neighborhood place, fairly easily accessed off the Kennedy Expy so you don't have to deal with the hassle of the Loop to have a breakfast meeting. We had people coming from out of town from North and West, so this was a perfect gathering spot. Food was good and it was great to be able to know a table was reserved so we would have to wait for a table.

    We had some pastry, the smoked salmon bagel sandwich, and a benedict. All were great and portions were filling! Coffee was solid (and props for making a proper macchiato!) Very welcoming vibe and decor. The service was prompt and our server was fantastic.

    Great place for brunch (legendary hashbrowns). Some dishes need improving (soggy avocado toast, for example) but overall is reliable and yummy.
