REVIEWS OF Meli Cafe IN Illinois

Krista Anderson

We had the chicken and waffles and the avocado toast. Both absolutely delicious. The bloody Mary's we're also great. Nice ambiance. The menu was really interesting so I'd go back.

cindy stahl

Went there for Breakfast. Everything I had was Very good. I had eggs, bacon, hashbrowns and Pancakes.. the pancakes were especially good. Definitely Will go back. LUNCH next time. Great prices & Service also!

Nirav Patel

All the food and juices are incredibly fresh and flavorful! Great range of menu items while still sticking to the breakfast classics. Don't think any items on the menu are doing anything revolutionary, but can count on consistent, high-quality meals served fairly quickly and relatively inexpensive. With that though, there is a bit of a "coldness" to the wait staff that seems to just kind of keep moving you along from your ordering through table clearing but not a big deal if you're not looking to stretch the meal out.

Jacob Kosior

The service is good, but the food is pretty bland. No big standouts on the menu, no mist-have items, and no memorable flavors. If you're just hungry, so to Meli Cafe. If you want an experience, go anywhere else in River North.

Roger Rozanski

Wide assortment of delicious Benedicts.

Dominick Theroux

Fancy daily cafe with good food and nice ambiance.

raul solis

I might be dismissed being one of the few but I will stand alone and do whats wright. The place is in a nice location, decent atmosphere but within its walls lies a secret... its infested with critters. I know this because I worked at this location and could not be happier being gone. I know the ins and outs of the kitchen and its a sight... of nightmares. I have seen roaches in the dozens in the food prep area, by the dish washer (I was told the roaches like the warmth of the machine). This might explain why I have seen them in the kitchen by the stoves and even on the cutting boards. I was disgusted by this I have never worked in a kitchen with critters, so this was a first and I brought this up to management to which they scuffed and said its being taken care of. It has not and I have been told by other coworkers that the roaches come and go in numbers but they are always around. This is problably linked to the inefficient cleaning techniques (the half mop half sweep) and the uncovered food left out for the next shift to deal with. Now my advice to you if you decide to read this avoid this place or be conscious of the problems this place has.

Marcus Rodgers

Superior staff and service. My breakfast was excellent

John Boctor

I made a Ritual order with Meli Cafe. I had their eggless tofu scramble. I'm going to start by saying it did not resemble a scramble at all. Just cubes of tofu and chunks of vegetables. Second it had absolutely no flavor and wasn't even seasoned at all. And they served it with ketchup? Like what was I supposed to do with that. Overall not worth it at all. Would not come back.

Marcia Terazzi Basso

Had a great time in this cafe place. Food was amazing and fast service. Price was in average between 9 to 16 dollars a meal. A little pricy but not bad etheir. Its a really amazing, cozy and cute place

Justin Bobo

Chicken omelette was delicious, coffee pretty good as well

Jeffrey Baker

By far one of the best diners in Chicago. Can't go wrong with anything on the breakfast/brunch menu. Personally, I always get the banana bread french toast.

Arthur Carvajal

The food is consistently good and the staff is pleasant and attentive. I would like the portions to be larger. One often waits for a table, but seating at the high tables in the bar is usually immediate.

Clara Tello

Waiter could have been better but otherwise great food and nice place to dine by yourself or with friends

Bill Manos

Meli Cafe is as good as it gets.

Joaquin Reyes

Delicious breakfast. The serving staff was slacking for such a slow day. Their water cups smelled horrid. Will try again in hopes to add more stars.

Kae Bradford

This place is such a solid lunch with a great price point for River North. It’s always packed but the bar is always free so I always get a spot. It has great vegan options and amazing juices but also some amazing Pancakes when you’ve earned yourself a cheat day.

michele homfray

Great food and service. Clean and attractive restaurant

Karen Thomas

Great breakfast! fluffy eggs, lovely hospitality

Mary Liu

Amazing service! Even better food. Worth a try!

Sundara Griffiths

I had the Irish hash but it wasnt all that flavorful. Coffee was ok. Service was excellent as well as the waffles.

Alexandria Brown

Exceptional food. Best dinner I had in Chicago. Desserts made in house..... ask if the "Mona Lisa Mousse Cup" is available, best dessert I've ever had. Smoothies are great and large portions. Ari takes exceptional care of his guests.

Samuel Favata

Quick, friendly service. Omelet was on point

Michelle Blumin

Great food and atmosphere. The hosts were friendly and the food was delicious. I recommend the meal that has egg whites and veggies. I've also ordered the chicken wrap; not my favorite, but it was huge and I was able to take home half for dinner.

Chris Adolph

AMAZING chicken and waffles

Korhan Raif

Nice breakfast place. Health choices. Service was excellent.

Juan Páez

Good brunch, with unlimited juice and coffee, and gluten free pancakes and other options

Richard

Very nice, but avoid the “bar” service on busy mornings. On Mother’s Day a few years ago the bitter and disinterested guys behind the bar gave my breakfast to the fellow sitting next to me; he said it wasn’t his, after taking a bite; and a bar guy dumped it in the trash right under my nose. I tried to attract the attention of everyone passing by in their furious rush, but they ignored me, and I left, very unhappy with the whole experience. Conversely, I’ve always had good experiences with the waitresses and table service on normal mornings. And the burger is good, at lunchtime.

Nicholas Johnson

Friendly staff and a huge menu. We enjoyed the breakfast tacos and several of the crepes. Atmosphere is relaxed with lots of natural light and big tables.

Zenia Anthony

We went here for Sunday brunch and there was no wait for a party of two. The mimosas are a reasonable price and come with fresh squeezed OJ. I ordered an omelet (I forgot the exact name) with potatoes and it was very good. My friend ordered a seasonal special-kiwi and strawberry crepes which she enjoyed. I would definitely come back again when in town!

kcomstock77

Great food, good service and reasonable prices.

Cash DeWitt

Delicious and healthy. You have to try their smoothies! Good service too!

Jody

I shared the jalepeno skillet with my boyfriend for breakfast. We loved it! So tasty and fresh. Came with 2 slices toast. I got the gluten free,so glad that was a choice, and he got the wheat. Bread was fresh too. Came with whipped butter and homemade jam, I'm guessing bc it tasted like someone just made it. Would definitely go back again!

Tim Clegg

During peak hours Sunday morning there wasn't much of a delay between ordering and getting the food. Would recommend.

Bibiana Tohme

Allways good. And the service out standing!

Jeton Grajqevci

Great food and the portions are huge! You won’t go wrong with anything there. Customer service is great and there is barely any wait since it’s such a big place. Enjoy!

Simone Luciani

Had an amazing chicken waffle this morning. Service was fast. Downside? Very expensive.

Mark Guttman

Great breakfast or lunch spot with a big menu and especially good fresh juices and smoothies.

Pakarer tap

Perfect for business meetings! Huge place, good selection on non alcoholic drinks. And the hostess is really friendly.

Don Raleigh

Food under cooked where the eggs Benedict egg whites were slimy, potatoes where cold, two sides of bacon was 3 peices, and once our food was cleared it took over 30 min to get our credit cards back. The best part was that our credit cards were charged to the wrong ticket. When we were leaving we couldn't get out because the tables were so close together. It felt like a trap and was an awful experience.

Martin Pais

Very nice, wholesome food selection in a warm setting

Billy Panagiotopoulos

Awesome service and the Mana Mou specialty with the Skirt Steak is a must. Great service and we would definitely come back!

Kornei Friesen

The food was good and the drinks as well. But the service was very bad. Ok - we were here on mother’s day with two young kids. All others already got served while we still were waiting. Asking for the food didn’t help a lot. Then they mixed up the whole order. My wife got the wrong shake (ordered strawberry and got peanut butter -> allergies risk) and then they forgot about the extra bananas for our kids. Served them after they almost finished. Not good at all.

Deep Jariwala

Great ambience. Superior omelettes. Coffee was so so. Overall very good experience

Fatima Almoamen

The food is bad and there are flies

Jacob Powell

I love Meli Cafe. I've never had to wait to be seated and I've never had a bad meal. Their breakfast menu is top notch and their dining area is well maintained. Good place to take a friend and split entrees.

Athanasios Lioris

Excellent food and service

Liz Sheffield

Brunch is delicious here and service was excellent

Katarina Stanojevic

Best fresh squeezed juices in town!!! Amazing muffins and crepes!!

Andrea Shaw

Awesome Breakfast...... it’s spicy but good

Michael Thielen

Fantastic all the way around... Food, staff and atmosphere!

Allison Ferguson

My husband brought me here on our first date because he had heard I loved breakfast. They a delicious variety of foods on their menu, are very gluten-free friendly, and give lovely service. Your meal experience is never rushed.

Jada Valentine

Breakfast was Amazing! Everything was so flavorful and cooked to perfection!

Alex Pena

Nice breakfast/lunch spot. Good space, quality food, friendly staff.

Michael Galvin

Great selection of breakfast choices including vegan options. I recommend the Seeded French Toast with bananas and strawberries made with no eggs. Waitstaff was kind and courteous. Food was delivered quickly and hot. We stayed longer than typical as we were visiting with fiends and getting lost in conversation. We never felt pressured to rush or close out or bill.

Jarred Simons

Love it here. The location is super convenient, I’m in at least once a week. The food is great, portions are generous and the staff is super sweet and attentive. Not at all pretentious, with a family vibe. Highly recommended.

Jose Galvan

Great spot for breakfast, smoothies and coffees. The price is a bit high, but they make it up with some ridiculous portions. You better be hungry and ready to Chow down when you eat here.

Santorini Patrone

Very good and healthy food. As i expect it

Pierros Zevolis

One of the cafe of the Meli chain of shops cafe at a central area of the city of Chicago. Beautiful decoration and warm atmosphere at the indoor seating, it is opening from early in the morning and serves very good breakfast. The staff is helpful and polite.

Olufemi Bada

Amazing songs and great pancakes. They charge 14 bucks for it though... This should be a $$$

Conner Little

Speedy service, great food, cheap

Dayna McCullagh

This place was beyond amazing!!! Their service was so fast. The food was the best ever and the bloody Mary's were so delicious!!! We will go back anytime we are back in the city!!!

A Howard

Had gluten-free polenta pancakes. Delicious. Beautiful setting.

Amanda Inman, CVPM

Understated from outside. Beautiful inside. Fast service. HUGE plate. Best regular coffee I've had in ages. A real gem.

Elliott Serrano

Great place for brunch! Ordered off the specials menu and was very happy. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Great pastries!

Nichole Avery

Food was ok. The kale and spinach skillet was decent. The spinach was a bit overcooked. The pancakes were literally the worst I've ever tasted. Dont even try the pancakes. The waitress seemed to be more abrupt and lacked eye contact once I asked for them to be taken off the ticket. Idk. From this one experience, I wouldn't be in a rush to go back. Nice, clean neat place overall.

Sonal Patel

Brunch done right! Enjoyed the sweet cream butter the most!

Sandeep Yadav

bad food..

Milan Govani

If you like cardboard pancakes, this is the spot.

Sam

Ok I’m going to be very honest abt this. The food here was delicious the problem was the service! I hated being here bc of how uncomfortable the servers made me. The waitresses were so mean! They were very clearly making fun of customers in the restaurant- one kept staring over at me and laughing while whispering to another waitress. they all gave me really dirty looks when I came in and sat down... and continued to do so the entire time I was there. No one greeted me to begin with. It was so insane.. one asked me if I wanted more coffee as soon as I picked up a phone call even though my coffee was completely full. I genuinely think this was done like weirdly on purpose. The whole time I was there I was stared at and made uncomfortable until I left. I tried my best to ignore them until i was done eating. When I asked for my check the waitresses hovered over me and watched how much I tipped etc. then opened the check before even leaving my table to see how much I left. i’m visiting from NYC i’m used to rude servers! but this was on another level. despite how good the food was - i’ll never come back here. if you’re still tempted to come — bring a friend so the servers don’t gang up on u.

Tulin Mumcu

Good spot for breakfast

Cathy Sykora

Excellent food, we enjoyed breakfast there

Jennifer Bak

Food was delicious and fast, good big portions, amazing and attentive staff. The mimosas were dank and I highly recommend the fuzzy, non-traditional but delicious. Their homemade granola was amazing a top my parfait. Overall 10/10 would dine again

Juhi Manchanda

Nice place. Did not know they add gratuity on a party of 3 people. But good food. Good experience.

Miriam Anders

I discovered Meli's on accident while on my way to an interview. I had literally about 30 minutes to spare and knew I needed to eat quick enough in order to leave and get to my next destination. The staff was super helpful and quick to get breakfast out to me it literally took under 10 minutes. The pancakes were amazing and super fluffy and the strawberries were so fresh and not tart. And it's quite possibly the best bacon I've ever had at any breakfast location. I truly enjoyed my breakfast even tho I came and left within 20 minutes, I hope I get the job so I can be a regular!

Robert Goode

Overpriced and tasteless, with terrible service. The French toast was burned and had a sour flavor, the poached eggs were hard, the Hollandaise was so weak that it was completely overpowered by even the English muffin, and the broccoli in the omelette tased frozen. It’s sad to think that we would have enjoyed a Qdoba breakfast burrito substantially more.

Leila Al-Ousi

I went to Meli cafe twice with friends over the weekend. Saturday was a great experience so we decided to go again on Sunday. On Sunday our waitress was visibly ill. We saw her going to the restroom covering her mouth multiple times during our visit. We didnt get served after being seated for 30 minutes so we tried to ask the manager what was going on all he said was that the server would be back in a minute. Finally after the sick waitress came back we ordered.The waitress seemed to be struggling with ringing in our order and it took her about 10 minutes to get it in. We watched her talking to what looked like management and it seemed as though they would not allow her to leave. We were uncomfortable with the fact that they were allowing a sick person to serve food so we asked another waitress to bring out our food. When the food came out my friends order was wrong and when we got the bill the waitress rang it up wrong. We had to wait about 10 minutes for her to fix it. The manager came over while we were waiting and we explained what happened he said "well did you try to split the bill 5 ways?" Which had nothing to do with the problem... We know that it is not the waitresses fault that she was sick but we do not think the situation wasn't handled properly. No one once gave us an apology for the situation. Very very poor service but decent food. No one should be working while they are ill it puts customers in danger.

S K

Great brunch spot! Veggie/Vegan friendly

Adam _

Nice place. A little pricey. Good food

Sidhant Pamnani

A great brunch place with quality food and attentive staff!

Raven Davis

The French toast here is memorable. I recommend this place to those looking later breakfast.

Amelia Tony

Pancakes weren't my favorite but everything else was wonderful. The place was very clean and the staff was excellent. Tipped 25%.

Bryan Chiles

Very good breakfast bowl and friendly service.

Vivian Rodriguez

Never disappointed. Amazing home made jams, great mimosas, and excellent food.

Leia Oliveira

Great food and atmosphere

Ariel Greene

Never got to eat. The wait was intolerable from point we walked in the door. The host seemed very disinterested and completely forgot he gave us the alert device for waiting. Two different waitresses came to take our order as the first one lost the paper with an entire order for five people after an hour of being there. Worst service I've ever had.

Ale Espino

There are a couple of vegan and/or gluten-free options. Had the vegan pancakes for brunch with maple syrup instead of agave nectar.. loved them! Service was great and staff is very friendly. Good option if your looking for a place to eat with your omni friends.

Troy Lawson

They have good quality food. The service isn't the best.

Sarah Lawhun

This is some of the best breakfast/brunch food in Chicago that I've tried, and for very reasonable. The eggs Benedict is amazing! In addition it has high quality coffee.

Jay C

This place took so long for the waiter to show up at the table. I ordered Uber eats and it got here before the waiter. So we took that and went across the street to O Leary's

Araceli Olivares

Service needs improvement(not sure if She was having a bad or not feeling well, but she looked unhappy, almost rude). This was our (Sister n I) first time here. Food was not what I expected, my sister order the Chicken and Waffles. The chicken was dry with no flavor, but this could well be, because we asked them not to put the bacon mermalizer. I ordered a plain waffle with fresh strawberries. Over prized, if you ask me. Great coffee and Beautiful decor.

Ryan Allen

Fast service and good food. The food was so good I didn't remember to take a pic before I start eating. It gets pack real fast, so the earlier the better.

Emiliano Masi

As Italian I asked for a cappuccino that unfortunately was really bad. On the other side, the yogurt cup was excellent!

Staci Foss

Healthy food, lot's of healthy drinks, pleasant

Jose Guzman

Still the best breakfast in the city. Quality, freshness, healthy outstanding service, Meli has it all. Simply the best in the city and one of the best in the country.

Céleste M Sotelo-Ramirez

Every dish is amazing. Service is sometimes spotty. But the menu is the best!

Marc Morgan

Great place! Delicious breakfast food and fresh juices.

Christoph S

Nice place to have breakfast or lunch. There are a lot of food options to choose from, including many healthy choices. Everything I had there was delicious, portions were generous, and service was fine, too. Prices were okay. Plus, the atmosphere was both relaxed and classy. I liked it there a lot and will definitely come back when in the area.

scheronda hall

The food was absolutely delicious

Joe High

I asked for toast that is hot with butter that is soft. When I asked for it to be microwaved to melt the butter it was too much. Food was good, but if I’m paying, I want it done right.

Kim Ingrao-Banahan

Great brunch spot in downtown Chicago. We had Easter brunch here while visiting and the food was great! The atmosphere was fantastic, staff were friendly and super helpful with directions.

Naveed Asem

Great food, great service. We go there regularly.

Dalen Green

First time going there, nice atmosphere!

Ethan Bitar

Excellent breakfast spot with huge portions and kind wait-staff

Kevin Wolers

Service is nice, but always wrong. Fries were greasy af. Coffee tastes terribly watered down. disgusting. Also, my chicken wrap was missing the CHICKEN. Love the people there though.

U F

It was okay. The server clearly forgot about us and it wasn’t busy. How do you bring coffee with no cream and still not come back with cream or come back at all. I had to ask the buss boy for cream. Had to request a different server and she was great. Probably wouldn’t come back because of the service but the food was pretty decent. Wildberry & The Yolk is def better value though.

solmaz hajmohammadi

Their service is so poor and their food used to be way better before!

FS ONE

My favorite spot for breakfast in all of CHICAGO.

gracie hendricks

Great breakfast, great staff. Classy place

Victor Idrac

Good quality price ratio. Big tasty portions

Kali Ellis

Extremely disappointing. For reference, I'm vegetarian, mostly vegan. I had high hopes when my smoothie came out (the reason for 2 stars, not 1) but honestly, the tofu scramble was insulting. Came out cold, unseasoned, and the dish was just a few blocks of tofu and barely cooked veggies. We gave it a chance but no amount of salt and pepper in the world could have saved this dish. So we flagged down the waitress and tried to explain our problems. She didn't seem to understand but offered to have it remade. No luck. Exact same issues but at least it was hot this time. Ridiculous. Don't have veggie items on the menu if you can't cook them.

Jonas Hellström

The place is nice and they serve vegan dishes. The prices, however, are at the very high end and the food isn't reaching those levels. I do recommend the pancakes though, no matter the vegan or the regular ones, they're just plain good.

Jason Billman

One of the worst waiting experience I've had in a long time. Call the restaurant asked how long the wait was and was told "15 minutes". Put my name on the list and headed over (5 minute walk from where I was). Check in with the host, gave them my name and then I received a buzzer. So far so good and nothing out of the ordinary. I then waited another hour for a table. This place was clearly busy and being told it was a 15 minute wait when it took an hour is unacceptable. 1 star for completely lying about the wait time.

Miss. F

Completely incompetent. I wish I could comment on the food but unfortunately we didn’t get that far. We put our names in and we’re told the wait would be about 15mins, mind you the place is not crowded. Twenty five to thirty five minutes later the buzzer still does not go off. We are finally seated and given water immediately by whom I believe was the bus boy. Another fifteen minutes and finally our orders are taken, which we rushed to put in because of the lack expediency. Another twenty minutes goes by and a separate server comes by to take our order....What? We advised her that are order was already taken. Finally our original server comes by to inform us that the “paper was lost” and she would need to take our order again. Your job is to take orders and submit them, you don’t even have the responsibility to make the food. Again the place was empty. This is a completely unprofessional environment and very apparently biased to people of color. Take your business elsewhere.

lee jones

A hidden MUST dine eatery☕

Jason Feldman

Always high quality and good sized portions

Pamela Trejo

Very good morning juice

Kareemah Batts

I ate here twice on my visit to Chicago. I happened upon it leaving my hotel and heading towards public transportation. I was drawn by its twist on a traditional breakfast/brunch menu. It was all delicious and the service my staff is worth the 5 stars.

Gena Alvarez

Great breakfast food. Love their natural juices. Food never disappoints and the staff is very friendly. Love coming here.

Aisha Ferguson

Food was good just needs faster service

Craig Hesch

Always friendly, food is good

Cassandra Linklater

The food was very good, and had a very nice variety of choices to pick from. Restaurant was beautiful and nicely decorated. The service that we had though unfortunately was very poor.

Nate Connell

Great food, decent service. A solid breakfast spot. Try the delicious juices and smoothies.

Stephan Kieu

A cozy place, good foods and friendly service.

Bryan Hanson

Had a great meal, service, and one of the best cups of coffee ever. Would highly recommend!

David Mallon

When we lived in Chicago we frequented the Meli on Halsted, and it always was outstanding. But, after our breakfast at Meli on Wells on May 2018, I can't recommend it. Go to Beatrix instead; it's just a few blocks away.

Brianna Bussell

Some of the best breakfast I had in Chicago. Their menu is a little pricier than most places, but it's worth the cost. Their omelettes are huge and you will always have some leftover unless you have a huge appetite. Very tasty breakfast spot. Highly recommend going here.

Brandy Stevens

Quick service ,very nice and considerate. Food was good.even give you a cup of coffee and to go .

Kathryn Julian

I love that they have a couple different vegan options, as well as delicious juices. They have something for everyone and I wish more places were like this. I would love to even see more vegan friendly options, but also they have some amazing pancakes! Really nothing to complain about

Ricky Houghton

Very cute cafe

Tito Smirnoff

Awesome breakfast. Easy to get seated.

RAUL GARCIA-LOAIZA

Great place for a breakfast in the city

Janel G

Intimate setting. Great tasting food. Freshly made juices. Don't miss out.

philippe Lannes

Great breakfast place. Try the Guinness bloody Mary. Interesting

Jesus Silva

Food was great, service missing that exceptional of personal touch.The Menu needs price adjustment. But over all it was good.

Yvonne Fourie

WOW! Delicious breakfast and very friendly staff. The restaurant has a good vibe, we loved it!

Tyler Mielke

Really enjoyed it! Service was eh but my food was great.

David Smiley

This place is awesome!

Ethel Mason

American food and the setting at this spot is great. I'll return friends next time. Prices are fair I would say.

Patrick MacLane

Cool Greek spot in River North. Solid breakfast choices

Bernadette McGee

Absentminded waitress but good food.

Joe Grotto

Great little place with good coffee.

Kristi Albert

Was here several years ago and enjoyed our experience. Now it just seems WAY overpriced and the quality isn't as great. $35 for breakfast. Go to Wildberry instead, incredible food (fresher and wholesome ingredients) and better prices.

Margaret Manning

This place has a big menu with a wide variety of options. It is suitable for many different diets. My husband and I go here often and take guests who visit us. It's really fast and the price is fair. Portions are huge, so we often substitute a side of potatoes for fresh fruit.

Cristian Hernández

This is our favorite spot for brunch. We like this location because is bigger than the one we used to go (halsted). There is virtually no waiting. The service is consistent and same flavors. One of the few places where you can order carrot juice. You can modify things from the menu and make your own requests. Also enjoy the music from the place.

chris stewie

Comfy. Had a very leisurely breakfast with my family. Food was delicious. Service was friendly. Try one of their natural juices. Had something with beet, carrot and ginger that was bomb.

Sam Sierra

Good service and good brunch menu

Kirk Eppenstein

A good find for breakfast.

Adam Marthaler

Amazing, affordable breakfast and juices! We randomly chose this place based off "breakfast near me" Google search and couldn't be happier with the results. Ordered Feliz Navidad breakfast bowl and egg nog pancakes; kids had fresh squeezed apple juice and chocolate pancakes. Everything was fabulous! Thanks Meli Cafe!

Robert Aldeguer

Got my order wrong. What really bugged me was the service. With every interaction, the work made it very clear she felt awkward. Asking for drinks gave us a weird face from worker. Maybe because we arrived 20 minutes before closing? Still, very disappointed.

Raymond Taylor

We walked in at 10:45 AM on a Sunday morning. There were about 4 people in front of us. We ended up finding seats in the bar area right away. The service was great, and even as crowded as they were, the food made it out in good time. The meals are hearty and delicious, so come prepared with an appitite. The prices are very fair, especially with the amount of food provided. By the time we left at 11:30 AM there was a line out the door, so get there early if you can.

Donald Hetzer

Excellent brunch spot! My husband and I love to each get a savory dish then split a sweet dish.
