| - I debated on this rating for awhile, but ultimately decided that I can't bump it up to a three star. There were just way too many things here that disappointed me.
From the outside, the place is adorable and I love the bright color, it's really inviting. However, I hate the place inside. Had the decor been overkill hippie like in the burger place, I could sorta dig it, but this was all just halfway and I don't like a pair of pointy boobies staring down at me from a poster. I HATED the rolling chairs that bumped into everyone and everything. The place is entirely too cramped. A lot of people get their food to go, so there is no reason to have that many tables. There are just too many obstacles to make this even a semi-comfortable dining experience.
False advertising makes me angry and had I come here after 11:30 on the premise that breakfast is served all day, like they advertise, I would have been fuming. Why call yourself a breakfast joint if I can get a burger all day but not some scrambled eggs?
There is way too much crap on the menu and I think that this place could really be much much better if they pared it down to just breakfast bowls and sides. Practically everyone got one anyway, why slow the line down with messy pancakes and waffles? Like Glenn said, there should also be little order forms that people can fill out while waiting in line. Things would go so much smoother from there.
Aside from the many many things that irritated me, the food was only okay. I got the breakfast "bowl" which is a great value, but was left a bit disappointed. I love being able to choose my own ingredients, so that was cool, but the distribution of ingredients is sporadic. Some parts of my egg were covered in cheese and bacon, while the mushrooms and sausage were sparsely sprinkled. I would rather have it even all the way around. The potatoes tasted okay, but were really greasy and ultimately made me not feel good later in the day. That brings back the same feeling I got from the uber-greasy magic mushroom burger a while back. Not good.
I probably won't be back unless some dramatic changes are made. I don't mind waiting in line for food, but I hate waiting a long time after I have ordered. I also don't understand how a "hippie" place that boasts of using organic ingredients could go and use inefficient, very expensive, not to mention environmentally unfriendly plastic and styrofoam containers. That's a big boo from me.
