It wasn't bad but I wasn't particularly impressed with the food given the price point. For the next year, I kept getting popups from Yelp saying \"Brunch places near you!\" with Block Locust always at the top, and very well rated. I decided a year was long enough and gave in to the constant marketing. My second visit for brunch was during a Saturday farmers market so the line to order was pretty long. The order experience is very much like Short Stack Eatery. You wait in line to order - order - find a seat - wait for food.\nEven though it was really busy, the atmosphere was still comfortable and cozy. It was relatively quiet, though we were in a little room surrounded mostly by students who were studying. It's a super chill place I could definitely hang out for hours.\nI landed with the Baked Hippie which is a frittata with seasonal vegetables and my sister ordered the basic breakfast. I was a big fan of my dish. Oftentimes I'm weary of egg bakes / scrambled eggs / frittatas because a lot of restaurants tend to overcook them. This dish was perfect, and the vegetables were spot on as well. The price for my meal was pretty solid.\nMy sister was less enthused, and I'm fairly certain she ordered the dish I had a year ago. Her meal was fine but kind of meh, but with a \"basic breakfast\" you can't really expect too many frills.\nI'd go again to try other dishes, or just grab some coffee. I probably wouldn't become a regular though."^^ . "4"^^ . . . "0"^^ . .
