| - Saturday brunch in up-and-comingsville!
The decor and atmosphere was definitively hipster--Bon Iver in the background, packages of strings and other bird's-nest-bits on the wall etc., etc.
The French press coffee was solid, and we ordered lemon scones with house-made mango-jalapeno jam to start. The jam was good, and so were the scones--but the jalapeno really masked the lemon; perhaps a plainer scone would have been better suited to the preserve.
I ordered the eggs, toast, bacon and fries. Everything was very good: nice salty shoestring fries, perfect overeasy eggs, but the house-smoked bacon was the star player at breakfast. It's really exceptional.
The beeeeeef ordered the French Toast, which comes with the bacon but is almost completely saturated with maple syrup. It was divine for a bite or two, but I think you might need a dedicated sweet tooth to be able to get the whole serving down the gullet.
I'd absolutely return to try some of their other more adventurous brunch offerings--and dinner looks pretty interesting too. It started to get pretty busy around 12, so I'd recommend a sweet-spot arrival of 11:30 if you don't want to wait (they open at 11).
