"Three stars for food, four stars for atmosphere.\n\nWe really wanted a brunch place, so, after reading a fellow yelpers review, we headed to Vine and Bean Cafe. I always love driving down Fairmount on my way back from work, and Vine and Bean cafe is off of it.\n\nThe cafe itself is an old small house with colors from the 70s and old furniture. It reminded me a lot of the house I stayed in when I was in Maryland- random doors leading down stairs, etc.\n\nWe were led outside to the back patio. It was great weather- sunny, quiet, old R&B music playing.... how cool is this place to chill on a Saturday afternoon with some friends? Very chill, very cool. \n\nThe food itself... was alright. I ordered the veggie egg pie...which was okay with its vegetables (kind of wish it had more kick to it) and it somewhat oily banana bread. My friend ordered the shipwreck- which looked really heavy. I think it was pretty standard tho? My other friend ordered the reuben...which he termed as being \"okay.\" I think Zingermans in Ann Arbor would have made a reuben three times that size. It was strange too- they wouldn't let you substitute any of the dishes (like holding off the cheese, taking out certain items, etc). I'm not sure why? That's...just strange. It makes you think. :P\n\nBut we got the bottomless mimosas. That was definitely a plus. hahhaa.\n\nIf you're looking for a place to chill, this is a great place to go. For food? It's definitely.. meh...but do-able."^^ .
