Love this place. Interesting brunch options and delicious. I got the avocado toast which was so good – the grapefruit and chickpeas were a nice twist from traditional avocado toast. The breakfast sandwich my partner loved – big fluffy biscuit and eggs. We did start with a strawberry rhubarb coffee cake that wasn’t my favorite – dry and crumbly – so I’d skip that though.

The food is really top notch. If you’re looking for an elevated brush experience this is a great place to go.

Met a friend for brunch on her birthday here. It was humid so we sat inside. Cute place, chairs are a little uncomfortable. Limited menu but the food was very good. Service was pleasant but very slow. They did do a sweet pancake plate with a candle for my friend’s birthday. Vegetarian friendly. Not a bad option but much better breakfast places in Arlington including Southern Kitchen 1/2 mile away.

Definitely a must-eat! The pastries are fresh and delicious. I ordered the short rib hash—super flavorful and a great mix of ingredients. A great place to “treat yo’self”

You can truly taste the freshness of the ingredients here. My socks were thoroughly rocked by the spicy chicken sandwich. The chicken was cooked and seasoned absolutely perfectly. Very juicy and tender, it was hard to keep it together in the biscuit. My mouth is salivating just at the thought of it.

Was excited to finally try this place. Outdoor dining was great and the latte is so good. We both got the short rib hash and it was so bland. Zero flavor to the whole dish and was cold. Was expecting crispy potatoes and the meat had no flavor and was very mushy. Staff was great but wish this food was good

They were extremely busy when we went, so it was not the fastest meal, but it was well worth the extra wait. I had the biscuit breakfast sandwich, and it was just a very well done classic. Very good coffee as well. They were super accommodating for our infant, the table we sat at began to be in the sun and they helped us move (we forgot sunscreen for him), which they did not have to do. Totally went above and beyond. Will definitely be back!

I was so impressed with everything here, I don’t know where to start! I went for brunch and chose to be seated inside although there was plenty of seating both in and out. They do accept reservations and I suggest making them if you’re going to be dining later in the morning. Everything is freshly prepared and the ingredients are all excellent. House-made pastries change monthly and are creative plus delicious! I highly recommend the the avocado toast and potatoes … The lox are also a must have!

Beautiful interior in a nice neighborhood. Everything is from a local farm and made in house. The menu is small but has all the essentials. Really loved everything about this place will definitely become a regular soon as it’s very close to my home and the weather is getting warmer.
