A new look on the inside. A remodel was done. It seems to have created more space as there are more seating options. Great space. A great space to meet friends, grab a meal, and catch up. Nice menu options and friendly service. I almost forgot, the homemade donuts are delicious.

It was my first time here with my fiancé! What a lovely place!! Food was stellar and the service really topped it off for us. Easily going to become our brunch staple. Aidan and Sal were so kind and helpful, it really felt like such a lovely relaxed environment for us to hangout with no pressure to turn the table. It’s busy even closer to 1pm, but you’re able to still find a seat. We tried the Bestest Sandwich and the Grits n Greens bowl. They were so so good! I’m a sucker for biscuits and pimento. It hit the spot! Thanks to the lovely service staff there who truly made such a lovely brunch

Writing this review before I’ve even left yet, it’s just that good. Food is fantastic, the breakfast sandwich I ordered was the best I’ve ever had. The coffee is really good, and the donuts taste amazing and aren’t too sweet. Almost everything in the menu has vegan or gluten free options. The staff are incredibly friendly, and all wearing KN95 masks which is so so important. Pronoun and name tags on everyone. All waste is composted or recycled if it can be, very environmentally conscious. The bathroom is clean and well stocked and kept up, and it didn’t require awkwardly asking for a code to

Sandwich got smaller. Price went up. I've been coming here for a few years, as I live around the corner, but might have to call it quits. $18 (rounded down) for this sandwich is pretty ridiculous. If the foods not worth it then what is? Ambiance? I'm bringing myself and friends. Handled. Experience? In that regard, they NEED another register and it's honestly always hectic because they hire nice workers, not nice and skilled workers. The weekend reveals a lot about the service of any restaurant. Overcrowding front and back with extremely lagging service. The food is good but not that good. For
