I have been traveling and enjoying people and food for over 40 years. I love it when i find that one apot that makes you feel special from the moment you come in to the smile and kindness from an owner who sees you are new and wants to enjoy the space she carefully made for us to feel warm. What a wonderful experience! Thank you for the hospitality, conversation, and amazing food!

My wife and I was in the area so we decided to eat somewhere new. This place was amazing. We had the chicken and waffles with some kind of butter. This dish was excellent. You just need to have the butter melt on the fried chicken and you have an amazing chicken and waffles dish. Then my wife had the pesto chi ken sandwich at that tasted great. I had the breakfast burrito and it was better then expected. Over all the food was pount in and did not have a lot of salt in its dishes. The service was slow but in a good way, so that I could have a long conversation with my wife. If you have a chance to go here you will not be disappointed with the food.

Great little spot that feels very much like you are in a home. Seating was varied inside and out, different types of tables and chairs (some more comfortable than others). We had to wait about 15 minutes before being seated, a sign of being a nice busy spot! The hostess seemed a bit hurried and while she was not unfriendly, she was very matter of fact and not very welcoming. There was limited seating in an area on the patio to wait that was pretty cute. Once inside, we were seated at a very small bistro table with typical bistro uncomfortable chairs. The table was very small -Great if you were just having coffee but definitely not enough room for a meal. Our waitress was doubling as a barista and was limited in her availability. She was friendly and seemed pretty nervous, not sure if it was a first day for her? She did a good job of showing that she cared, she just seemed nervous and overwhelmed. The kitchen team who carried out our food appeared happy to be there and were very helpful. The food itself, absolutely amazing! I cannot believe how large the servings are! My breakfast burrito was ginormous! It was absolutely amazing as well as the very generous portion of bacon! I could only eat half of my food and was able to take the other half home for later! I definitely recommend this spot, not sure if I would go back at such a busy time probably more so when there is availability for more comfortable seating.

What a darling establishment we stumbled upon! Warm and cozy atmosphere, the staff was amazing, accommodating, and friendly. The food and drinks were delicious! We ate outside in the quaint porch area. It was a bit chilly, but they have heaters so it kept us warm. I had the salmon toast which was scrumptious and my friend had the skillet. We ordered the vegan zucchini bread and it had great texture and flavor! The chai and mimosas were wonderful as well. Definitely would go back and highly recommend for brunch.

The owners were very friendly and the service was great. The food came quick and was delicious. A great spot for chatting and getting a bite to eat. Tried the chicken and waffles (ask for the chicken to not be overdone as you can see from the video it’s very dark which made it taste a bit burnt/ the caramel butter helped the taste by so much), home style potatoes with sunny side eggs, strawberry and banana waffles and a breakfast croissant with a hazelnut latte. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Great place to eat.

I love uptown Whittier … new restaurant I came across on Instagram. Service was amazing. And the restaurant was really clean. A+ Food chicken sandwich was really good but the potato wedges they were OK but next time don’t keep them under the heat lamp too long. I could tell they were there for a while. ….. my son’s food it was amazing the chicken and waffle thank guys definitely coming back.
