Pretty solidly a 4.5. I'm easily impressed when a place can satisfy my desire for the lazy Sunday brunch. Only a few elements are required - a no hassle tranquil seating arrangement, excellent well constructed brunch plates and service with a comforting smile but efficient.
Niche does it exceptionally well on all aspects. Strolled in around 1PM, no packed crowds, just a few regulars and walk-ins. Luckily grabbed the table dead center in the serene back patio on a gorgeous sunny afternoon.
Our server approaches with a smile and highlights a few menu items and gets the drink order. Great start. Why can't places do this right?
The food is great, the perfect BLT, open-faced with two poached eggs...perfectly runny in the center, crisp bacon - not soggy not burnt, fresh greens. Even Gordon Ramsay wouldn't curse this kinda of quality.
A couple flavourful lattes and a tasty grilled banana bread with chocolate spread and I'm ready to call it a Sunday afternoon done right.
Maybe I'm shooting myself in the foot because the scene is kinda ruined once the crowds start to flock here, but this place deserves recognition.
