Best French toast ever! I still haven’t tried the pancakes because I love it so much. They have a cinnamon cream topping that is delicious on anything! Line is always long but goes down fast. Parking in the lot behind it is free the first 1.5 hours.

One side is for dining, one side is for takeout or eating at the bar type window seating. Large NY style slices are fantastic if you’re on the go. I like to stop in, grab a slice, eat at the window seat and go run errands. There’s always a long line late night and on weekend nights.

The roast their own and are one of my top coffee shops! They also have a pretty good chorizo breakfast burrito but get there before 10 to make sure they have some left. Freshly made daily.
You may also try their main location on Charlotte Ave. Much larger and offers brunch!
