| - Giving three stars - my honest reflection is "meh, I've experienced better", but they are new, and I want them to continue to improve over time. Third star for potential.
My mom and I stopped in here a few weeks ago - we love exploring new neighborhood spots and were excited to see the completed reservation. We arrived toward the end of their opening hours - but you never would have known based on the friendly service we got! We were greeted right away and directed to sit anywhere. The decor is beautiful - lots of locally crafted/sourced items, reclaimed wood, and a beautiful color scheme. Bright and cheerful - and the bathroom is excellent! A strange thing to note in a review, maybe, but it really was so pretty and well-appointed - very pleasant.
The menu was typical breakfast/lunch fare. The server came and told us the soups of the day, which sounded good, and that the quiches are individual, not slices off a large. I didn't order one, but absolutely loved the concept. One problem - there are no gluten free bread options for the sandwiches or toast, which left the remaining menu somewhat spare for me - runs heavy to pancakes and paninis - things that are hard to modify.
I ultimately ordered the ham and cheese omelette and hashbrowns. The omelette was a normal size (sometimes they come out huge, which I hate as re-heated eggs are terrible and I always end up wasting) and contained a lot of cheese - not the cheese I ordered, but it was still ok. The strange part was that the ham was not cut at all - 3-4 round deli slices of ham that were somehow ice cold, while the cheese was melty. The hashbrowns were overcooked and dry, and the cheese on them was not fully melted. I finished most (hungry!) but definitely not the best breakfast in town.
My mom ordered a BLT - and asked if the bread was grilled or toasted, and was told toasted. Nope, on arrival, the bread was clearly grilled and saturated with whatever oil they use on the grill. Disappointing.
Coffee was good, water was plentiful, and the staff clearly take great pride in the space. Hoping food execution improves with time!
