Came here early on a Sunday morning thinking after reading online, that it opened at 7 AM. When I got there, the sign said it opened at 9 AM so I was really bummed. It was 8 AM and I was supposed to meet a friend there at 8. While I was sitting there, staring through the window, Larry, the owner/cook/waiter came out and opened the door and let me in the place. Really nice guy- great place. The decor is eclectic- Larry is also an artist and the place feels like a hole-in-the-wall, but man, the dude can cook. Fantastic hot cakes. I got the strawberries, but I suspect they'd be just as good w/ maple syrup. Really enjoyed the potato hash and my eggs were done well. Coffee was diner coffee, but it was fresh.
I enjoyed just talking to Larry- very approachable and I appreciate what he's doing to grow community in the Old Brooklyn area. Prices were really cheap for what I got. Will bring The Wife at some future time.
