Bakery : Ordered several custom cakes and everything has been wonderful! Great creative bakers to help with design ideas. Brunch : F.A.T.S. skillet was tasty along with whatever else I've eaten.

The multigrain bread is out of control. Yes, you read that right.

Cole Conrad

The potato pancakes are delicious and filling. The Elvis waffles are great but weren't my style. The truffle oil hash browns are amazing.

The doughssant : a cronut constructed long John-style, with fried layers of croissant dough are iced and filled with chocolate and raspberry jelly , blueberry lavender , or coffee cream cheese .

Michael Forsythe

It's a little pricey , but it's all quality. A high-end diner with some of the best baked goods and Dark Matter coffee .

Bitches Who Brunch

Operating as a full service bakery , West Town’s doughnut options are limited, but the doughssant is a Bitch-approved fruit-filled favorite. Read more

David

Fun little diner/bakery with full brunch and drink menu. Also, counter service for coffee and pastries . Great for families!

Rachel

Nice, casual brunch spot with options for all dietary restrictions. The pastries are very pricey but delicious - good for an occasional splurge.

Jake Smith

Breakfast portions are huge! The Smoked Southern Orchard Skillet is everything a growing boy needs to start his day.

Jillian Burnickas

I'm not a fan of cake but their cake balls are really good. Can't wait to try the diner half.

Stefanie

The turkey club is classic and so good. A huge fan of the cake balls. How can you not be a fan of cake balls?!

Nice vibe, good food and MUST try hybrid croissant/doughnut it's a Killer... in a happily sugary way :-)

Kelly K

The Huevos Rancheros Benedict was delicious. It had a substantial amount of avocado , which I prioritize highly.

Joycott

Love, love, love the cake balls! And we love how willing West Town is to accommodate people with gluten allergies. <3 Read more

Try the doughnut croissant , you won't regret it (it might kill you, but it's worth it!)

Leila Ellis-Nelson

They have a great cheeseburger . Simple but hits the spot.

Alysha Balog

Great brunch . Large portions . Plus the cake balls are decadent.

The Chilaquiles are my favorite and the Doughnut sandwich is sinfully delicious.

Michely

Nikki Kanter

Two words: Cake balls. Four words: French toast cake balls .

Mike

Last time. Stick w/ Bakery ! Diner 's A-V-G @ best. Service is slow & perhaps a bit slow. Food is hit or mostly always miss... cold, bland, or covered w/ salt. Can't say we didn't try 2 make this work

T Callahan

Get a pancake for the table.

Charlie Rock

Hoooo boy is that Short Rib Benedict good

Frank Zarate

Some of the best chicken and waffles in the city !!!

Maggie C.

The new menu is deceiving. The matzo ball soup was cold and overly hearty. The antipasto pasta was tasteless and under dressed . The service was slow...twenty minutes to get your check is inexcusable.

Sarah Janicek

If that's what cake balls taste like across the board, then I am definitely not impressed with this newly made up dessert that everyone is gaga over. Trail mix brownie- stale and not delicious

LizAnne Cook

Great Bloody Mary if you like em' spicy !

Elizabeth Olson

Cake Balls! Perfect treat!

Ian

Excellent french toast .
