This is a great new spot for Cleveland! I brought my niece and nephews here for some breakfast pastries to find out we could order food and sit down.This was a pleasant surprise. I am glad there is finally a place where you can feel like you are getting a "real" meal and are invited to stay and work. With outlets at every both and free wi-fi it makes for a great place to get work done.
Ok back to food: between 4 kids and 2 adults we ordered a little bit of everything. Over easy eggs with bacon, yogurt parfait, omelet, pastries, chocolate chip pancakes, and creme brulee french toast. I am a french toast snob and very particular. I usually will not order it out but I asked the server her opinion and she convinced me to try it. I am so glad I tried the french toast. It was slightly crispy on the outside with a nice custardy taste on the inside (I can't stand dry over cooked french toast or too mushy). Served with Ohio maple syrup even better.
My only concern is for The HotSpot's future. I am not sure the people who like to sit down and get work done are the type of people who want a server and sit down atmosphere. I hope this catches on in Cleveland because this has become my new breakfast spot.
