Went here with my on mother's day (with my mom) for brunch. The surrounding area is haggard, but that's all part of the charm. The atmosphere inside was relaxed, and I think it's cool how the kitchen is right out in the open. The coffee was great and the food was pretty good, not mind blowing.
3 stars instead of 4 because as noted by others, the value isn't there. Portions are too small for the price, and they're obviously not putting money into rent or decor, so why the high prices...
