Review


I really wanted to like this place, based on all the good reviews and because there are so few safe brunch places. They do have a lot of gf options and the owners (who both were our servers) are knowledgeable. So, I definitely felt safe there. It's just that the food was not great. Was so excited there was a vegetarian sausage option, but it ended up being a mushy weird tasting blob that was burned on one side (I could barely cut through the charred part) on a bed of raw cabbage soaked in vinegar. The german style pancakes (gf! yay) sounded great but ended up being an unpleasant rubbery texture. The array of syrups (coffee! salted caramel! skip the lavender, it tastes like soap) were fun. Was a cute place, decorated with lovely antique colorful vases & cool light fixtures. I'll try them again but will definitely order something different next time (the menu has a nice variety of gf options).

Owner Response


Sorry you did not care for your meal. The red cabbage is cooked in red wine, not soaked in vinegar. It does contain some red wine vinegar, but the main liquid ingredient is red wine. Let us know what you think if you decide to come back in person, thanks
