I was excited to have a breakfast place open up so close to my apartment because on a lazy weekend morning I wouldn't have to venture far for brunch. I have to say though that allo! mon coco isn't all it's cracked up to be. They have lineups but they deal with them quickly. It's just everything else after that left a lot to be desired.
Portions are gigantic and in my opinion they're too big. I can usually finish what I order in a brunch place but here I just can't. I'm also not a fan of their potatoes. The seasoning is overpowering and they're too mushy for breakfast potatoes. The pancakes are fluffy though and I did like those quite a bit. Everything else (eggs and breakfast meats) were on par for an average brunch place.
Service wasn't great either. We ordered coffee as soon as we sat down but they didn't bring us cutlery with it so we had no spoons to stir in milk and sugar. We had to flag our waitress down for basics like water and they were quite slow to bring us the bill.
Honestly even though the restaurant is so close to my apartment I'm not sure if I'd come back here anytime soon. I was left quite underwhelmed by the whole experience and if I just walk a little farther to the Atwater market area I know I'll find cheaper and better brunch places.
