The best french toast, waffles, and homemade breakfast/lunch. A little pricer but well worth the quality. The espresso bar drinks are served in French style "bowls" which made me giggle the first time I ordered a large cappuccino. Go during off-peak breakfast/lunch hours for the best seating in the window.
