I took my Mom to try this restaurant for an early Mother's Day brunch. When we walked in, I will admit, we were confused. This was our first time, and we did not know that you have to order right away and then find your own seating. They have paper menus to look at while waiting in line, but it was still very hectic and busy. We felt a bit rushed and overwhelmed, but we both settled on trying the recommended all-day breakfast sandwich. We didn't see any drink menu options until we reached the register to order. Again, we felt rushed and overwhelmed, with the line behind us growing. My mom decided on trying a mocha drink, and I ordered my usual: an iced espresso with a pump of mocha and nonfat milk. We were then given a paging device to let us know when our order is ready.
We walked toward the back and finally reached the back deck area. Once we opened the door, it was beautiful! The seating area is gorgeous, and the weather was perfect. I can see how you would have to time it perfectly to be able to sit there, as there is very limited seating. When you walk through the doors, it's a noticeably calm, quiet, and lovely change.
The pager buzzed just as we sat down; it was for our drinks. I was a bit baffled by how my drink order arrived and didn't like it at all. I didn't drink much of it, but my mom said her mocha was delicious. Within a few minutes, the device buzzed again, and I had to go back inside to get our food. I dislike the process of receiving food and drinks, as this seems like a nice restaurant.
We were both hungry and couldn't wait to try the breakfast. We thought it was delicious! It was very flaky, but the texture and taste were amazing. The sandwich was so huge I was not hungry again until late afternoon.
While the back area seating had a beautiful ambiance, I would not dine inside again. If I were in the area, I would consider ordering takeout. The coffee was not good for me, but the food was excellent. I would also like to try their baked goods, as they looked delicious.
