A small , but crowded food joint. We went there pretty early on a Saturday morning, but it was still quite busy. The owner was really warm and friendly and the wait staff were courteous and pleasant. The menu itself had a lot of variety and did not confuse us with too many options. They had quite a few vegetarian options as well, which was nice. The presentation of the food was striking, as was the taste. Money and time well spent!
Ahhhhh I'm torn here. Really had high expectations for this restaurant, the lines are always out the door. However, I must admit it was a disappointing experience. We waited about 20 minutes which really isn't bad at all. Since the place is small they try to get you out as soon as you're done eating. I totally understand that and it's not the reason why I give it a 3. They serve really small portions and frankly it's not good. I ordered the Early Lunch which had Angus beef and it tasted like Spam. My girlfriend ordered the farmers breakfast and the omelette had no flavor. The menu is small and not many options. The coffee and mimosa was good. If I go back I'll probably get a sandwich. The best part about this restaurant is the ambiance, it feels like a chill coffee shop.
Loved the food and the overall vibe of the restaurant. The waiters and host were very nice and accommodated every need. However, the space itself feels a bit cramped due to the size of the place and the fact that this restaurant is so popular. Also, older people may feel that it is too loud and overbearing at least, that's what my mom and grandma felt. The bread and drinks are especially tasty. I ordered the banana and date smoothie with soy milk and was not disappointed even though it was about 8 dollars. The tartine and jam/butter was an affordable and delicious side. We also ordered the avocado sandwhich, shakshuka, farmer's breakfast, and a couple croissants which were very delicious.
The food was excellent. The atmosphere was uniquely rustic, starting with the table and chairs made of aged wood and medal pipes, to the non-traditional light fixtures and decor. Although busy because of the lunch hour, our wait was not long. I would definitely recommend.
Small little breakfast spot with Mediterranean influence. Food was good but small portions for the price. Yummy pastries and friendly staff. Worth trying out if you're in the neighborhood but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here.
I was here for brunch and it was awesome. I never had Mediterranean for brunch but I will again! Everything at such good flavor. The Shashuka came highly recommended and rightfully so - the combo of the tomato and the garlic the cheese the eggs-oh my God-it was delicious. Other dishes at the table-the mushroom and cheese omelet and the beef/egg skillet we’re also delicious. The elderflower mimosa was so unique and tasty and although I did not have a pastry, they looked unbelievably scrumptious. Loved the open kitchen plan to see all of the deliciousness at work and the old cans as a vessel for the silverware. I will 100% be coming back here and will make a reservation online something I did not do resulting in waiting 35 minutes for a table but the wait was well worth it!.
A little too congested if you get one of the back tables like we did. Like, anyone and everyone walking by or being seated near you will end up being trouble. Also, we were sharing a 6 seater table with a random group of 4. Ughhh. So we got the Turmeric Latte, Cafe Au Lait, Shakshouka, Early Lunch and Zaatar Scone. The coffee or latte weren't as good as we hoped it would be. The Shakshouka and the Early lunch were great. The Zaatar scone was alright. Oh, and the complimentary pita bread was to die for - the softest and tastiest - EVER. Loved the ambiance, service was good. Food was amazing.
The food there was extremely delicious, going into some territory that I haven't ventured into yet when it comes to Mediterranean food. My friends and I shared a few items on the menu, me having a smoked salmon omelet while another had a roast beef platter topped with an egg and avocado. The waiters were extremely nice and welcoming to us being new there. I would def go again
I really looked forward trying this place out for months. Maybe my expectation was too high. I came on a weekday around 11 a. and got seated right away. I got the "early lunch", which was pretty good. The recipe was very simple, yet it worked. But it really wasn't anything memorable compared to my other favorite brunch places sadly, most very far away in D.C.. Plus, $3 for an extra egg??? I really should have asked the server on the spot, but my server made it sound like the egg was part of the dish she had said "now, should we top that with just one egg or two?". She did not mention that it was an "extra".
We were sat very quickly, even on a Sunday morning, which was a great start. We had a dirty Chai, dirty Turmeric Latte, and dirty Hot Nutella, all of which were tasty. My husband got The Veggie which he enjoyed, and I had the Early Lunch. We also ordered an almond croissant to eat later on the train. Neither of us was blown away by anything, but we enjoyed all of it well enough. Our server was attentive and friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed.
