All I have to say about this restaurant of the week is wow!
We went on Sunday around 10:00 AM, and it was super packed. We almost didn’t stay because of the crowd — but I’m so glad we did!
They got us our food lightning fast despite the rush.
They even have a pizza bagel (!!) — totally worth it.
The coffee was also fantastic.
We will definitely be back!
