| - Two coworkers and I met for brunch here as a last minute decision. One of the girls (who was coming with her baby) literally lived right around the corner and our plan was to head to Great Northern after so we decided to check this place out and boy were we glad we did!
Doesn't look like much on the outside, but he place is adorable. It has a bunch of tables with waiter service and then has some couches with a double fireplace where you can catch up with friends and just have coffee if you're not looking for anything sit-down. The decor is super cute, too. Very coffee-shop-esque.
For being a Wednesday morning, there were definitely a lot of tables full of people. We started off with some coffee, which was good. The breakfast menu is pretty big!! It was so hard to decide what to get, but I settled on a breakfast bake that had artichokes, tomatoes, spinach, hash browns, scrambled eggs, and cheese. It was delicious! It was baked in a ramekin so it stayed steaming hot during my entire meal which was nice. I got a biscuit instead of the toast. The biscuit was ok, a bit dry and could have used some more salt. My friends enjoyed their meals, as well.
The waitress was super friendly and came by often to refill coffee or make sure we didn't need anything else. Another employee (manager?) kept coming by as well, which was nice in the beginning but began to get pretty annoying. She kept interrupting conversation to talk to us about the baby or her childbirth experience.... we do NOT want to hear that during our meal. And like I said, while it was fine the first few times, the number of times she came over was just a bit much.
Overall, the food was great, the prices were very reasonable (9 dollars for my meal? I can def do that... she didn't charge us for any of our coffee which was nice), and the service was good. I will def come back here.
PS for those who live nearby, they have a drive thru if you prefer to grab your coffee and go!
