| - This place always has inventive menu options, but the food isn't as good as it sounds, and its definitely not worth the hype (and resulting long wait times).
I've eaten here on two occasions. Both times, the server was cold and seemed rushed, and both times the kitchen screwed up my order. I've received burned, overcooked eggs, and a mess of French toast that was bland and dry. I ordered the French toast because the menu explicitly said "maple syrup", but the dish was served with gross table syrup. When I asked about it, the server said the owner didn't want to pay for real maple syrup anymore. I understand that real maple syrup is expensive, but they shouldn't advertise something and then clearly deliver a different dish.
Their ginger tea and juices are refreshing, and their proximity to Trinity-Bellwood's makes them an attractive brunch option in the summer. Still, as a resident of the neighbourhood, I'll walk an extra 10 minutes to any other brunch spot in the area before waiting for poorly cooked food and a crowded, rushed brunch experience.
