The hype is real. The lineup here was around 1hr when we arrived at approximately 11am. Give the choice of sitting in a sunlight filled bar seat or waiting for another 30mins, we settled for the extra dose of vitamin D.
We ordered the poached egg on your face panini, oquf coquette, caesar, and the elixir + bourbon. The panini was great. The bread was crunchy and fresh while the slow roasted tomatoes complemented the spicy poached eggs perfectly. My companion wasn't too impressed with her oeuf coquette. She felt that there was not enough flat bread to finish the coquette.
Be warned if you are a lightweight, the drinks here are very strong. They put an interesting spin on their caesar as it tastes more like a vegetable cocktail than the traditional tomato beverage. The bourbon was nice and strong.
The service was okay, but given how popular and crowded this place is, I decided to be lenient in my review on that.
We saw all the raving reviews about their almond croissants, but they were all sold out before 11am. On the bright side, this gives us a reason to visit here again next time we are in town!
