This is my go-to spot. Great coffee and espresso drinks. Try the tahini or avocado toast. Also, the bacon, egg, and cheese substitute sourdough for the english muffin. It comes with onion jam and pimento cheese.

This is my favorite brunch! The Mac Attack is a must try, unique and decadent dish. I typically go with steak and eggs or chicken and waffles. The loaded poutine is a great hangover bandaid.
