Sufie Bahaei★★★★★
A large amount of selections and I had trouble choosing! Their plate visuals were so cute and helpful to see what I wanted. It was very crowded on Memorial Day morning. We had a bit of trouble finding a table after placing our order at the register. However, a very kind man (a busser?) noticed us waiting and had a lovely pair who was finished with their meal get up so our group of 4 could sit down. He cleaned and cleared the table in an instant. Lovely hospitality and service. Lots of runners and staff circling the place- they seemed very busy as the place was bustling but they remained friendly and gave us everything we needed quickly. The food was great, too. Presentation was beautiful. The berries brioche French toast was a little too sweet for my taste, but I don’t have much of a sweet tooth. The heavenly toast was delicious, but hard to eat as the toast was hard to cut through/bite, even with their serrated knife.

This was a great breakfast experience. I love the food display which made it easy to pick a dish to order. The flavors were better than the appearance, which was already pretty appetizing. I wish I had tried the chia but didn't see it until finishing my order.

Discovered this place which is just a block away only from my apartment. The place is pretty presentable, the food is excellent though it could be really crowded most specially over the weekend and weekdays as well but it’s worth waiting. The crew are always on the top of their job cleaning and clearing out some table for the next customer who will dine in. My experience from this place is beyond expectation and will definitely comeback again since its only in my place.
