| - 4 of 4 stars (excellent, casual fare).
(see explanation of ratings below)
Great place for breakfast or lunch. Talented baristas and excellent baked goods.
Get the TMC: sliced hard-boiled egg with your choice of bacon or ham, your choice of cheese, lettuce and tomato on a lovely croissant.
About $10-15 per person.
About my ratings:
Only high-priced dining establishments can garner five stars. Until yelp realizes that a fast food joint cannot possibly be ranked equally with a $100 per person place, I need to draw the line somewhere. If we were only talking about the quality and presentation of the food, it would be a different story. But, as we know, yelp's rankings take into account the entire dining experience.
Therefore, I divide restaurants into three categories (and I wish yelp would do the same):
1) fast food and "fast-casual", low-priced (no table service).
2) casual, mid-priced dining (table service, average entrée price: $10-$20).
3) fine, high-priced dining (linen napkins, no plastic cups, no TV's in dining room, average entrée priced at more than $20, can vary depending on the city).
High-priced dining can earn a max of five stars. Mid-priced dining can earn a max of four stars. Fast food can earn a max of three stars.
