Wow!!! What an amazing meal. Everything was incredibly delicious – the falafel eggs benedict was a real standout. We also shared the delicious Turkish mezze and some amazing pastries for dessert. The place itself is super cute and intimate, with a great atmosphere. Attentive and friendly staff, too.

I’d definitely recommend ordering off the snacks & pastries section! We ordered the deviled eggs, halloumi biscuits (BIG BIG hit), potatoes, doughnuts, etc. And they were all phenomenal. We also ordered off the normal menu (egg zoug sandwich I think) and wasn’t super impressed, but everything else was so good.

So good! Wow. Everything was absolutely chock full of flavor. The simit toast with lox was sweet, salty, briney, creamy. A little bit of everything in each bite.

I have been waiting to go to the Grey Jay since i heard about its conception last year. I finally got here and tried a little bit of everything. I got the spiced Turkish coffee, pistachio sticky bun, deviled eggs, and shakshuka. The sticky bun was perfectly flavored with a subtle sweetness that didnt overpower the dish. The deviled eggs were unique and delicious, and the shakshuka was tasty and spiced to perfection. However it came out of the kitchen lukewarm, which was disappointing. Overall a Very cool spot with a fun decor and unique menu.

The experience was nothing less than extraordinary. I had high expectations being the little sister of Honey Road and they didn’t disappoint. Everything from the donuts, to the French toast, and even the Benedict we’re all amazing.

We had a wait for around an hour for a table for 4 on Saturday at 10:15. The space itself is small but feels very fresh and new, with accents of green throughout. The food was absolutely amazing. Across the table, we tried the falafel Benedict, shakshuka (amazing balance of flavors and spices), yogurt bowl, saffron and pistachio sticky bun, and Turkish coffees, both regular and spiced. It was a hit all around! The yogurt bowl was a great sweet but healthy brunch option, served with housemade granola, grapefruit and a drizzle of honey. The sticky bun was FANTASTIC; such a good texture– almost pound-cake like– and perfectly sweet but not overly so, with a delicate and fragrant balance of saffron and pistachio. Definitely a place to stop by if you want a stellar food experience with a bit more of a twist than your typical basic brunch fare.

Really enjoyed my experience at the Grey Jay! I had the spiced Turkish coffee, grapefruit and orange blossom frose, and falafel durum. I have a young baby- so you never know which way a meal will take you- ataff was super accommodating and sweet.

I want to start by saying that they have a creative menu with very good Turkish coffee, but the food is pretty bland for such a creative menu. The prices are high, but expected when the menu is that creative. The problem is that the food just doesn’t have as much taste as you would expect. The eggs Benedict with falafel seemed to lack seasoning which is a major part of middle eastern dishes. Lastly, the donuts had very creative tastes but I would not say they were better than an ordinary donut.
