Why do locals love it? Because it’s delicious. Period. Always packed (try to reserve), the small restaurant offers a good variety of breakfast and brunch. Homemade bread and original choices will make a change from your usual bacon & egg breakfast (although they do have a perfectly executed one if that’s what you are craving for).
Laidback atmosphere, amazing food, great coffee served in beautiful mugs, friendly service, this place has it all. While you are at it, you should consider strolling down the 3rd avenue (see my other post for more information about this).
This place is BYOB: its mimosa time! I don’t know if they still do it but they offered the orange juice when you bring your bottle of sparkling wine.
