We came based on a recommendation and were happy that we did. We arrived at about 1:30 pm on a Saturday and the place wasn’t busy luckily as the parking lot is smallish. A friend and I both got the French toast, another friend got the Fire Toast and another got the BLT sandwich. We all liked the food though the size was a bit smaller than our usual. The meals came reasonably quickly and our waitress visited our table enough times to ask if we needed anything. The atmosphere was pretty nice as well.

Absolute BEST breakfast place I have ever been to, and that’s no exaggeration. The environment was beautiful! Modern and very well kept. Typical places we eat at, we are always waiting long for our server, but service here is excellent. Shout out to Liam who served us, he was lovely and paced everything perfectly! I got a cold Chai and the Fire Toast and my husband got black coffee with B.Y.OB. This is a breakfast you could not replicate at home, 10 out of 10 for the assembly of the dish to the flavors! Cannot praise this place enough. If you give this place a chance, you will NOT regret it.

Delicious!!! Great spot for a solo lunch, to meet up with friends, or read a book. The staff was super friendly. I got the O.G. breakfast sandwich and added onion and bacon (by the staffs recommendation) and it was fantastic.

We had the Kevin Malone and the Muddy Cristo, and both were amazing. The coffee was very good but their steamer was down, so we will have to come back when we can try more of their drinks. The server was polite and friendly, and did a good job.

I would give more stars if I can! Food is really good and delicious with fresh ingredients in a welcoming friendly atmosphere. You can tell from the pictures I was enjoying my food and didn’t have chance to take picture of the full plate. Also shout out to our amazing server who went beyond and above with our little one. Family friendly and even my very picky mother loved it. Definitely recommend!

Firstly, the muddy mint drink was one of the best coffee drinks I’ve ever had! It was so smooth and subtle. So good! We shared the orange pancakes, Monte crisco, and mounty. Everything was fabulous! My picky son who is 5 also devoured his pancake!

Stopped by this place on the fly for a coffee emergency. It’s a real gem. The Café Miel was made well, and the blueberry scones tasted super fresh and weren’t dry, which is a common issue. Really nice atmosphere, a cozy space to while away the hours.

We had a delightful breakfast here. The ambiance is top notch with a comfortably restored older building looking out on a vibrant neighborhood. Coffee is roasted on site and is top notch. We had the Roosevelt Park blend–a light to medium roast.

Enjoyed our visit to Mudpenny. Both our meals were great, especially the club sandwich. The coffee was much better than the usual sludge at breakfast places. The building and interior was tasteful and clean. The service was a bit slow for us, but it turned out they were understaffed that day. Definitely worth a try if you’re in the area!

Mudpenny has absolutely DELICIOUS food. It’s nice that they have a parking lot, but the place was just a smidge difficult to find if you’re using GPS. The food came out quickly and our server was nice. The orange n’ cream pancakes were so good and so was the brown sugar shaken espresso. Definitely recommend for brunch, but I do not believe they serve any alcohol.
