| - I came here with a fellow yelper around 10:30am on a Friday morning. It was shaping up to be an uncomfortably hot day, but it was not yet unbearable at 10am that we requested to sit outside under some shade. Thankfully their patio tables had some umbrellas to provide our desired shade.
Since it was National Donut Day when we visited, we shared a maple bacon donut. It was maple glazed with bits of bacon on top. It was tasty, but my favorite donuts are still at Greenbush. Still, I give this place props for the variety and creativity in their donut flavors. We also ordered and shared shrimp and grits and their lox box. The lox box came in a bento box with a Gotham's Bagels' Everything bagel, two pieces of cured salmon, and all the fixings you could want such as herbed cream cheese, pickled red onions, olives, sliced tomatos, lettuces, and capers. We each took a half a bagel and fixed ourselves one of a deliciously decadent lox topped bagel. The pickled onions added a really nice acidity with a touch of sweetness. The shrimp and grits were tasty, but I found it heavy and the shrimp a bit overcooked. I think the tomato sauce that they put over it was meant to balance out the heaviness of the dish, but it just made a saucy mess.
I'd definitely come back here for the lox box, but not so much for the shrimp and grits.
