| - This gem has all the brunch spot essentials checked off - fresh food with big portions, attention to the right detail, busy and bustling and Wu-Tang Clan on the soundtrack.
First, they had me at almond milk. Crucial (the latte was delicious, by the way - I ordered the bowl-sized on). My coffee came with a small chocolate on the side, the table water was watermelon-infused and the maple syrup on all tables was the real, authentic good stuff.
On to the menu, which offers limitless options. It really is hard to choose, but the good news is, you can't go wrong. We had eggs over easy (cooked perfectly) with a side of Montreal smoked meat (when in Rome...), crispy breakfast potatoes and then, the pièce de résistance, the carrot cake pancakes (there were several other contenders including the salty pretzel pancakes).
We also had the "gym dude" omelette, which is very much my kind of brunch food. Egg whites with chicken and mushrooms, with a side of huge delicious salad. Perfect for the health conscious, brunch-loving, weekend warrior who wants to eat more than steel cut oats and greek yogurt, which is also in the menu in case that happens to be your jam.
Service was fantastic. The wait staff checked on us several times, which is rare for a place this busy, and we were able to customize our order to our liking. All while Jay Z played in the background.
