| - Café Hollander is a great place to go for brunch or lunch. It definitely requires a little bit of time, as sometimes they have a wait and it is a sit-down style restaurant. Also, post meal (if you are like me) you are probably super, super full and need a little time to recuperate.
Ambiance:
Café Hollander has a lot to look at. The restaurant very large with both upstairs, downstair, indoor and outdoor seating. They are decorated with brick style walls, large leather booths, and bike decor. The restaurant has large garage door windows that open in the summer time. Overall, a really trendy space that offers background noise but still allows you to have conversations with those around you.
Food:
Overall, amazing. It came quick and was extremely filling. Definitely over-ate, but each bit was totally worth it.
The Frenchie Bloody Mary - Absolute must have for brunch. Not too spicy with a pickle, carrot, haricot vert, and blue cheese stuffed olive. The perfect way to start any morning.
House-Made Cheese Curds: The perfect pair to any bloody mary. With their thick breading with white cheddar cheese, these cheese curds are a perfect start to your meal. But Café Hollander's Sriracha ranch dipping sauce is really what makes this appetizer with its spicy, creamy flavor.
Nutella Auth Liège Entic Waffle: SO GOOD. If you are going for a sweet breakfast, this is absolutely perfect. The waffle is topped with warm Nutella, toasted marshmallows and a cherry.
BrewCity Benedict: One of their multiple eggs benedict choices and a good one. The cooked to perfection breakfast sausage patty is a delicious salty start to your morning. The poached eggs are, of course, topped with hollandaise sauce making it a great choice if something more savory is on your mind.
Service:
The service was quick and very accommodating. Our waitress was always present asking if we needed anything. The restaurant was very welcoming and flexible, even when half of our party showed up late. We never felt rushed to finish but encouraged to order more drinks or try different things.
