A semi local to us we know to book in advance. The food is always exceptional and fresh. The coffee is some of the best in the neighborhood. The staff are well trained and friendly. With an egg shortage we were told that eggs could only be fried or scrambled at the moment due to quality issues but regardless they were absolutely delicious. We’ll always come back.
