| - We found this place planning a going away for a friend when the only time we were all free was breakfast on a weekday. Most breakfast places only served on weekends, weren't open early enough, or had more of a fast food/diner feel.
This review is mostly based on weekday brunch, tho I did have an off-peak weekend lunch here and the flat bread with porchetta was delicious!
For weekday breakfast, they do a great steak & egg with a truffle potato cake/patty? There were actually a few shavings of black truffle, not a lot but considering most places just use truffle oil, it was a nice touch. It's only on their weekday breakfast menu i think. I've also had their delicious Scandinavian pancakes many times that come with homemade jam and Nutella. And their breads are delicious.
I've also never had a bad coffee here, latte, cappuccino, iced coffee. All have been much better than most breakfast places and on par with the high-end coffee shops which is unusual for breakfast places. I find most breakfast places rush on coffee instead of taking the time to steam the milk. Even their iced espresso came with a side of steamed milk.
The atmosphere is very chill, none of the rushed, bustle of a weekend brunch. A great place to chill on your own and work or read or a great place for meetings, catching up with friends, etc.
I've never had the bad service that others mention, but I've also never gone during a very busy period. Tho one of the things I really like about this place is the chilled, not rushed atmosphere so maybe the service is a bit slow and I didn't realize...
