THE LEAD VERDICT
“their congee was surprisingly authentic - creamy rice porridge with ginger scallions perfectly soft-boiled egg. not something youd expect at a western breakfast place but they nailed the texture and seasoning”
“teh 'Asian-inspired' breakfast wrap felt like fusion for fusions sake honestly. teriyaki chicken and scrambled eggs dont really go together and the execution was just bland would go back”
ALSO FILED
“teh avocado toast had incredible textural variety - creamy avocado crunchy pumpkin seeds soft poached egg all on perfectly toasted multigrain bread”
“my latte arrived barely warm which completely ruins the drinking experience and suggests they got poor temperature control or something”
“for sixteen bucks the monki bowl gives you quinoa avocado poached eggs and tons of fresh vegetables - its filling and actually nutritious unlike most brunch places”
“the hollandaise sauce was clearly from a packet not made fresh which cuts corners on what should be a premium dish”
“teh vegan scramble bowl was incredible - tofu scrambled with nutritional yeast sautéed spinach avocado roasted vegetables. finally plant-based breakfast that doesnt feel like settling for less”
“vegan pancakes were pretty dense and heavy tho. would love to see them work on the texture maybe add some baking soda for more lift or something”
“the brioche french toast is literally what brunch dreams are made of! thick-cut custardy inside crispy outside fresh berries real maple syrup. plus they have bottomless mimosas that actually taste like champagne”
“service was pretty slow even for brunch standards tho. took 45 mins to get our food on a saturday morning which killed the whole relaxed weekend VIBE”
“look their cortado was perfection - rich espresso balanced wiht silky microfoam and the barista actually knew what they were doing with the milk temperature”
“the beltline location gets incredibly loud during weekend brunch making conversation nearly impossible even at a small table”
“crab cake benedict was outstanding - real chunks of fresh crab minimal filler perfectly poached eggs. hollandaise had that nice lemony brightness that complemented the sweet crab meat beatifully”
“ok but but the hash browns on the side were underseasoned adn kinda soggy. for such an elevated dish the sides should match that quality level 10/10”
“real talk teh smoked trout toast was outstadning perfectly flaked fish wiht dill cream cheese on sourdough tasting like it was smoked this morning or something haha”
“they were out of the breakfast bowl i wanted to try which seems to happen often based on what other diners were saying”
