Review of Brunch Cafe

A little out of the way and difficult to find, but well worth it. At first I wasn’t sure what to get as it seemed like the pancakes were more deserts than a meal (we were eating an early lunch so could’ve gone either way with lunch food or breakfast food). I have attached a photo of the menu—most of the pancakes say they have ice cream, which we didn’t really want. Ultimately mom and I decided to go with the gf mixed berry pancakes and classic avocado toast, both listed as being able to be gf. The staff was a little confused as to who was serving us, I think. We sat without a menu for a while, called someone to please give us one, and again had to ask somebody if they could please take our order. We sat down at the same time as the people behind us who already had their food while we were still waiting to order, which is the only reason I mention a wait. Quite a few other people had walked in long after us and already had food much sooner than us, weirdly. They finally brought our avocado toast. Instead of being on 1 piece of bread like the pictures, it was on 2 smaller bun things, almost like an english muffin. On top 1 bun had tomato and the other had cucumber. It worked out because mom and I shared and were able to redistribute all of the toppings very well and we each got a bun thing. Overall it was very tasty. And neither of us particularly like avocado toast. We had finished all the toast and sat waiting like 10 more mins before the pancakes ever came out. I don’t really know how to describe the pancakes. I have attached photos, because they were not American pancakes. They were fluffier and in a tall jiggly tower with cream on top and berry sauce. It was excellent. Unlike anything I’ve ever eaten before, certainly, but delicious nonetheless. We also ordered water and they brought us 2 water bottles, but only 1 was cold. Kinda weird. All together a very good experience and we definitely would recommend. Perhaps make a reservation, or make sure you have time to spare. Even with the waiting, it was still faster than in the US—we have been spoiled by Italian restaurant speed up to now.
