From the community
I adore this spot! Great food, a fantastic patio, and a chill, fun atmosphere. It's a beloved institution for the local LGBTQ community. Just be sure to arrive before you're starving; it's very popular and brunch often involves a long wait. Perfect for brunch and delicious overall.

“No reviews? Just check ins? Sad, todays kids.”
It couldn't have been better. As we stepped out of the cab, our friends were pulling up, and the hostess—possibly the owner—shouted across the street, "Come on, we've been waiting for you!" Hilarious. We arrived at 9 am on a Sunday and while reservations aren't taken, there was a line when we left. Despite the tight seating, we weren't rushed and enjoyed coffee and conversation with our Chicago friends. Service was attentive, the menu was extensive, and my Lox Platter was enormous—I ate leftovers for three days and brought some back to Indiana. My friend had the French toast and it looked incredible. I wish I'd ordered a Bloody Mary to report on, but next time. Also, our semi-vegan friend was fully satisfied with his meal, though I'm not sure what he ordered.
