| - So...the consensus seems to be: It's busy on the weekends. No surprise there. Here's a tip: Go during the week.
This joint is indescribably charming. The decor is sort of shabby retro/rustic; the music is 70s light hits (think "Rhinestone Cowboy," "Oh What A Night," "Hooked on a Feeling," etc.); the service is entirely casual and the atmosphere convivial.
The menu is rather limited but you should find something to tickle your fancy, either sweet or savory. I ended up with the breakfast pocket, which is not pockety at all. It's a sandwich on a plain focaccia: eggs, peameal, cheddar, tomatoes, carmelized onions, and dijon/garlic aioli. I loved the Turbo from Lakeview but this sandwich was nothing short of phenomenal--the perfect combination and balance of ingredients. Maybe my favorite breakfast sandwich in recent memory.
The simple, lightly dressed green salad was good too, as was the fresh orange juice. There's nothing to disrecommend this place except that they were apparently having problems with wasps on their patio.
