    Loved it! This was the best meal I had during my trip to Milwaukee. I loved the smashed breakfast potatoes and the sandwich - I got the Lil Phatty breakfast sandwich, and everything was cooked to perfection. The bacon especially was something else. Great coffee! Great atmosphere, too. It's not huge, so you might have to wait, but it's totally worth it.

    We have been hearing about this place for a while now and I’m so glad we finally got to try it out. The wait was pretty long (45 mins at 9:30) but was well worth it. The service was phenomenal; Matt made sure we were well taken care of, sharing the specials, refilling our coffee and water, and just overall being a delight. The steak and egg burrito was fantastic, and my boyfriend liked his “big wolf” breakfast. The only con to our dining experience was that my matcha spritz took a while to get to the table (ended up getting our food first), but it was a busy Sunday so I didn’t fault them for it. Definitely try this place out! We’ll be back!

    Great vibes, fantastic service, amazing food! We came for a late brunch and were not disappointed. I got the breakfast poutine and my husband got the breakfast burrito, and we split a side of bacon. Everything was sensational from start to finish, and all the servers and bartenders were friendly and kind. We will definitely be back!

    Loved this place! The interior feels very organic, clean, and thoughtfully designed, warm, quaint, and welcoming. It has the charm of a locally owned spot (and it definitely feels like one).

    The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, which made the whole visit even better. Coffee was bold and delicious, served in a great rustic mug, and the avocado toast was outstanding, crispy bread, fresh toppings, and so much flavor.

    Overall, a cozy, well-kept spot with great food, great people, and a great vibe. Highly recommend!

    This place is truly cozy and inviting location with an amazing chef. The dish I tried was absolutely incredible, and it’s really rare to experience such a perfect combination of flavors. The chef clearly knows exactly what they’re doing, and the service is excellent.

    A quick note: be prepared to wait for a table about 25 minutes on weekdays and possibly around 40 minutes on weekends, according to my friends who live nearby. They’ve also mentioned that it’s very hard to get a table on weekends.

    I was absolutely delighted by the food. The potatoes were simply amazing- perfectly cooked inside. I suspect they might boil them before baking, but whatever the method, it was incredibly tasty. My friend and I were both very impressed.

    The only thing that disappointed me was that some drink prices were missing from the menu, such as lemonade, coffee, and matcha. I also found the price of the matcha lemonade quite high -almost $10. Had I known, I wouldn’t have ordered it. Unfortunately, I didn’t find the lemonade very tasty, even though I asked them to reduce the syrup (it usually comes very sweet). I also didn’t realize that extras like fresh mint and syrup were charged separately, and I could barely taste them. So this part was a bit upsetting. I recommend asking about the price of drinks not listed on the menu beforehand.

    Another nice touch is that in the same building, there’s a small shop selling cosmetics, bags, and, as it seemed to me, a few antique items. There’s also a terrace nearby where you might be able to enjoy drinks, though I didn’t quite figure out how it works.

    Overall, though, this place is wonderful, and I definitely want to return to try more of their likely delicious dishes.
