I had high hopes of finding a laid-back breakfast spot in Berkeley, especially given the positive reviews and enticing menu. Unfortunately, we waited 45 minutes for our food, which turned out to be just an average omelette, biscuits and gravy, and pancakes. The only reason I'm giving it two stars is that the pancakes were passable. It was evident that the restaurant was understaffed; we noticed several flies buzzing around, and we even witnessed staff arguing among themselves. The bathroom was also in bad shape. I would suggest skipping this place—it's definitely not worth your time or money.

It's a charming breakfast spot with some great art on the walls. The staff was fantastic—when I asked for a parfait or some fruit, the cook went out of their way to make a special dish for me! I'm very grateful for that and definitely appreciate the vibes here.

So, service happened to be a little slow when we were there but everyone was working hard.... just be prepared it might not be a quick breakfast. But it sure will be delish.
