This is closer to a 3.5 review but I can't quite nudge it up to a 4.
First off, the food is really good. We had a Benedict and Johnny Cakes. Both were tasty,a s was the coffee. The menu was diverse and interesting and the food arrived quickly.
We were lucky enough to share a table with some friendly people . The place was packed, with people walking back and forth looking for seating.
Now for the stuff that needs improvement: I am not a fan of the stand-in,-line, serve-yourself format in small spaces. The coffee stand is awkwardly placed and, combined with the lack of seating, makes for a lot of unnecessary congestion.
I get the need to turn tables quickly but would like to be able to linger over a cup of coffee, especially at these prices.
I wish you well , Vovomeena, and know that you have a lot of fans. I may try you again on a weekday but you're a little too claustrophobic and hectic for me on the weekends..
