I wanted to love this place but unfortunately it's just alright. They have great coffee, nice baked goods, and wonderful staff but their breakfast dishes is just alright. They are rather bland. Gravy had a good underlying flavor but it desperately needed more salt or seasoning. Biscuits were ok. They aren't big and crumbly like you would want for biscuits and gravy. It came with eggs and breakfast potatoes so it was plenty to eat but it was just very mid in my opinion. Even though it's filling, I just didn't like it enough to think it was worth paying $15 for. If it were cheaper I probably wouldn't complain as much but for that price I would rather spend a few more dollars per dish and go to Petite Provence instead. The dishes there are far superior. They also have their workers doing way too much. They had two people taking orders at the kiosk, running orders from the kitchen, and making drinks to order, etc. That's too much for two people to manage when it's busy. I felt sorry for t
Food was super bland and overpriced. Staff was confused when I asked to see a menu and tried to convince me I didn't need one...?? Inside is dingy and smells like cheap air freshener and mop water. Outside is by a street and tables lean heavily. Back patio looked lovely but wasn't open even though it was a beautiful day.
Not great, the food was bland, really devoid of flavor, really tiny portions, and they swapped our orders so that I got meat sausage instead of veggie sausage in my breakfast burrito. And it was so aggressively unseasoned that I didn’t notice I was eating meat until half way through. There wasn’t much going on, so it’s not even like they were super busy and that’s why things got mixed up. Anyway, my stomach hurts now and I don’t think I’ll be returning. Scone was very good, so if you go maybe stick to the baked goods.
