"There are a lot of very good things available at this casual neighborhood spot, but you should come to brunch for two of them in particular: the Pinch burger and the feat of engineering that is their stuffed french toast. It’s an entire loaf of brioche that has an oozing pool of guava in its center. Splitting it open and watching it spill onto your plate is both soothing and satisfying, like a babbling creek or Niagara Falls—if both of those things were filled with hot guava instead of water. Most of the seating at Pinch is inside, but they have a really cozy back patio. It’s covered too, in case there are some scary clouds in the sky." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
