The atmosphere was really cool. Our server, Harry did a great job. Food came out fast, hot and delicious. The blueberry crunch cakes were so good!

Good place for a weekend breakfast or brunch. Food service is generally slow because how busy they are which is ok if you are not in a rush. The staff is always friendly and check in often. We love this and other J. Christopher's locations...Read More

The menu had a lot to choose from. The goat cheese omelet and strawberry waffle were delicious. The cafe itself is clean. The service was great and there was a lot of indoor seating.

In front of me is the pantry feast. I don’t remember what my friends got but they liked their food too. They were very accommodating to Covid and the place wasn’t crowded.

Came in for a little brekkie while on spring break with my kiddo. Absolute gem. We were greeted by the warmest, most genuine “good morning!!!” From what I am assuming to be one of the managers. Set the tone immediately. Aesthetically it was adorable, food...Read More

This classic spot is a must for any brunch enthusiast. Their portions are legendary, and the mimosa flights are the perfect way to kick off the weekend. Plus, they've got a killer patio for soaking up the sunshine.

Usually outstanding; however our last experience was not up to standards. 45 minute wait for breakfast, terrible presentation and poor atmosphere. Many "I am sorry", which carries little meaning if stated more than once. Hope it truly is a one time experience and not something...Read More

Food took a little long (although I suspect they were short on staff because all my friends say it’s usually really fast). Was definitely worth the wait and was yummy in my tummy.
