The best breakfast I've ever had. The homemade blueberry muffin is perfect. Crisp muffin top, and soft melt in your mouth bottom. Fruits were a touch sour, but great for the price.

Martin Hecko

Super fluffy scrambles and the open faced sandwiches . Wide selection of spicy sauces to customize your meal. You can get a muffin with your scramble. It was too sweet for me, but otherwise very fresh.

Brian King

If you're trying to decide between sweet and savory, go savory. Any punk can drop sugar on French toast . These guys absolutely nail the more challenging side of breakfast and brunch .

Matthew Claypotch

Great corner breakfast joint. Everything you'd expect (including the wait) without pretension. Great hash browns - crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, a delightful rarity in these parts!

Bohdan Hnatkovskyy

Really nice place with a lot of baked dishes. Probably, Monsieur croque is not the best in my life, but it was big and tasty.

Khokha M

The lday at the restaurant is awesome..all breakfast options are amazing

Liam May

One of the best brunch spots ! Gets super busy though, especially when the famers market is on

Leslie Breton

Great service. Very friendly staff . The tuna melt is my favorite! I also appreciate that they accommodate my Dad's no sodium diet.

Brian King

The oatmeal is beyond amazing and arrives in a bowl that's larger than your face.

Marc Katsambis

How this place is rated one of the best breakfast spots in PA boggles the mind. Maybe it was good in 1987, but not so in 2019. Tired, dated and just plain old American breakfast . Meh.

Robert Hawkins

They'll do eggs Florentine as a veggie substitute for eggs Benedict if you ask!

Go for the blueberry pancakes they are delicious

Andrew Norman

A Solid Cobb salad , kudos on the crumble, bacon , and dressing (I had mine without the egg )

Ami A

Food was good, although I cannot remember it so not memorable. I think either the bread or the eggs were nice and fluffy, but I'm not sure so get both! :)

jan hubert

Food was great, but I was a little suspicious when our food came out almost immediately after we ordered it. Were the scrambled eggs and pancakes sitting under a warmer? I wonder...

Kat ????

Delicious Brioche French toast !

Sam Baumgarten

Great brunch place . I love the omelettes !

Andrew Norman

Recommend the French onion soup . Onions just melt in your mouth!

Brian Monroe

The Carmel brioche French toast is really good.

Chris Gianelloni

Excellent food. Attentive staff . It gets a bit busy, but worth the wait.

Akshay Jawharkar

Great little brunch place on CalAve. The salmon salad was surprisingly good.

Paul Jimenez Jr.

Hashbrowns are flavorful on the inside and crispy on the outside, I don't know the secret, but it works nicely.

F.r. Pacheco

The omelettes are to die for, especially the Combination Omelette .

Beth S.

Try the Crêpe Bretonne - Excited to try another great neighborhood spot . Delicious brunch !

Henry Christensen

The oatmeal is great.

Sierra Simpson-Dworschak

The salmon crepe is divine! I also enjoy the crepe Bretonne is wonderful with melted brie on top!

Kim Vanderwall

It's all wonderful! The whole grain french toast with berries is fabulous!

Erik Finman

Michel Perez

French toasts with banana and strawberry , simply amazing!

Excellent crepes , excellent breakfast in general.

Caroline Deng

Come here for breakfast ! The portion sizes are huge though.

Carolyn Kao

The Crepe Bretonne is all kinds of amazing. Chicken apple sausage , scrambled eggs , onions , mushrooms , brie cheese .

Sydney M

Huge portions , worth the wait

Tim Ramone

They have delicious omlettes on the menu.

Stan van de Burgt

Loved the combination omelet

Anna James

Florentine Benedict sucked; hollandaise sauce was the worst I have tasted and the English muffin was soaked in bad butter. House fries are very good!

Jakub Rehor

The duck confit sandwich has a VERY generous amount of duck meat . Good value !

jared tame

favorite restaurant in the bay area! try the Mexican scramble

Chris Kantarjiev

Spinach mushroom onion and cheese scramble FTW. No longer on the menu, but worth asking for.

Banana bran muffin here is one of the best I've had. Not too filling too
