One of my favorite breakfast spots in Columbus. Great selection of "international" (Russian, British, Mediterranean, etc.) themed breakfast plates. A good variety of excellent crepes. Also, the service is warm, friendly, and very accommodating. And don't forget desserts. The pastries and cakes are excellent!

Very pleased with quality of food and service from the staff. Cory did a great job taking care of us. We had some traditional breakfast fare and the cheeseburger with bacon jam. Food presentation and quality were great. Very happy overall and we'd happily come back another day!

Omg!! I can not say enough good things about this place! Food is great! Staff is personable, upbeat and positive. Atmosphere is so welcoming too! I've tried several different items but their buckwheat almond pancakes and blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes are heavenly!

This is a god place to go for breakfast or brunch. But go in a small group. Limited sitting area and staff wont like if you are sitting there sipping over coffee for longer time.
Secondly if you are in hurry pls dont consider this place. Service is really slow!
Went here with 2 friends and I do t think we ordered something out of the world but they took 40 minutes to get our dishes on the table.
Coming to positive side that is Food
Yes it was delicious! Ordered Mediterranean platter and Im very satisfied. My friends ordered classic pancakes and almond and buckwheat pancakes and those

Came here to support a local business. My husband asked for something that wasnt in the menu and they accommodated and it was great. The candied bacon is amazing. I had the California frittata, it was really good. Keep in mind if you order a skillet item it will take longer than the other items. The service was ok but not super. Which is why 4 stars and not 5. Otherwise this is a place to try out. The decor was cute and bright. They had a case of sweet treats, I so wanted to get something but after the giant breakfast I had to pass. Will be back to try out lunch!
