My accomplice and I started the day by going to the North Union Farmers Market on Shaker Square, followed by brunch at Vine & Bean, which is right around the corner. I've never been to Heather Haviland's Lucky's Cafe in Tremont (edit: I've been to Lucky's since this review), but from what I understand, a lot of the same menu favorites are offered at both places. Now that Heather opened a place on the Eastside, I had no more excuses....
The Vine and Bean is located in in a century home. In each room, you'll find separate seating consisting of hodge-podge furniture. You can even sit on the front porch or in the backyard. The decor is very charming, comfortable and cute. It reminds me of a life size dollhouse. The kitchen is in the basement of the house and waitresses and cooks run up and down the stairs to fill orders.
For brunch, I ordered the Breakfast Burrito and a Coffee. My accomplice, the Biscuits and Gravy. We shared a side of the Pecan Crusted Bacon, which was absolutely to die for! Our server was friendly and the prices seem fair.
I've been recommending this place to everyone. I can't wait to go back.
