Lovely spot on Vanderbilt with a fun brunch menu emphasizing eggs (esp poached), along with tasty sandwiches (super grilled cheese) and salads. Great cup of coffee, cozy atmosphere, attentive and kind staff. Been around for awhile, for good reason. Popular brunch place. Cash only.

If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Hands down the most delicious and satisfying breakfast I’ve ever had. I ordered the beet hummus toast and had greens and tomatoes on the side instead of the eggs. YUM. Bright creative atmosphere with very friendly and accommodating staff.
