| - After lusting over the impeccable interior design on Instagram for weeks (seriously, I want to move in), my boyfriend and I decided to stop by for brunch on a Saturday around noon. The entire time we were there, almost every table was full but due to fairly quick turnovers, there was never a wait for a table.
We started with coffees and an order of beignets. The Vandal gets their coffee from nearby Constellation Coffee and I highly recommend it--so smooth and delicious! Our order of beignets came with two large beignets in a creamy pear sauce. Totally worth it!
I got the butternut squash toast for my entree, which is a spongy yet crisp bread from Five Points Bakery topped with butternut squash purée, caramelized onions, and crispy kale. Light yet filling, I wish I could eat this everyday! My boyfriend went with the burger, which he didn't have any complaints about other than the lack of side dish. At $11, it seemed deserving of a small side with it. Adding a $3 side of fries would have pushed the price point a little too high for the casual vibe of the place.
The staff was friendly and attentive throughout our meal. The Vandal definitely fills the void of a quick, high quality meal in Central Lawrenceville (other nearby restaurants that I consider comparable are not known for short waits and speed), however be prepared to pay for the quality. I'm looking forward to future visits!
