I'd visited btw cafe in the past and could recall neither a positive nor negative experience, so when I noticed an empty patio seat on a Sunday where all brunch spots were packed, I didn't think twice about a second try!
As a result Btw will now be one of my local brunch standby spots! To begin, you will be seated and taken care of much quicker than other notable brunch spots in the Annex; I found the service to be both attentive and pleasant! The coffee was good and refill were offered frequently!
As for the brunch itself, I opted for the herbs, goat cheese and sundries tomato omelette, and I was very pleasantly surprised with how nicely it was done! The omelette had plenty of cheese, but it was not overpowering. More importantly, the sundried tomatoes were not too dry or chewy as with some other places and added a nice zesty taste! Homefries were also a win as they were adequately seasoned and cooked! The only downfall was the underwhelming bagel, which I should have just replaced with toast!
Overall, Btw joins Insomnia at the apex of my Annex brunch list!
