    Very cute establishment. Food was good. Value was poor. You order through a QR code, so interactions with staff are limited. Soda is $4 and not refilled. Silverware is dinky and wrapped in one thin napkin. Churros were good, but sauces were served in plastic disposable cups. You have to go to the counter if you need anything. Spent over $100 between my friend and I (with tax and tip), and it was a little shocking based on how much work the guest has to do themselves. This restaurant is good for Instagram (Ube Latte, flowers hanging from the ceiling), but the service and value did not meet expectations.

    Ambience and food were great, a little pricey for what you get but definitely generous portions.

    Not very breakfast-y, which was disappointing. The food was fine - although the portions were too big - but more Asian-influenced than I anticipated, and lacked usual breakfast items. I also disliked the ordering system using a QR code at the table or at the counter and forcing you to tip in advance. It was like ordering at an airport restaurant. Won’t return.
