Waffles are heavenly and Avocado Toast is Delicious. I am very picky with coffee and I loved the cappuccino ! I tried the almond milk one and I tastes so smooth. Great find in Harlem. Chill ambience .

Devonta

Brunch options range from Jamaican to English. The Ackee & Saltfish taste great (slightly spicy from peppers ) with a glass of homemade sorrel to wash it down. This place is cozy .

Lillian Rodriguez

Akiko Bombita

Wonderful spot for brunch . Veggie burger plate is a perfect portion and the brownie w/ rum cream is tasty. Great soundtrack and friendly staff . No WiFi but enjoyable w/o it.

Riqui Lawrence

Delicious food, great service and delightful hardworking owners. May favorite dish is the coconut crusted fish with chips paired with ginger beer . Occasional wait for tables but well worth it.

Anna Roberts

The burger is dope, fries are what I want all fries to be! Love the atmosphere. Came in for brunch at 11am and there was already a line out the door. Awesome neighborhood addition!

Harlem Ambassador

A small place that specializes in small plates . That mezze   w/ curry chik is tasty. Cod fritters and shrimp are worth the trip alone. $4 wine for happy hour b4 8pm. Can we get them to stay open later?

A truly unique and welcoming restaurant in the heart of Harlem. The service was exceptional, the food made of quality ingredients, and the ambience perfect for a family. We will return.

You gotta come here for lunch ! I get the avocado smash toast with smoked salmon on top, and the Belgian waffle with berries and homemade whipped cream . Cozy and comfy .
