If I can order everything on that menu I would! I had the salmon burger and my friend had the mushroom sandwich and it was so so good. I couldn’t even tell if it was chicken or mushroom. There was so much flavor, your test but are definitely gonna be thanking you. If your an rush/and it’s busy definitely order head.

Outside seating is available also.

Great breakfast and brunch spot, looks like there’s some good weekend brunch specials too, will def check out next time. Food is made with love. Fried chicken sandwich was amazing, well seasoned. Also comes with side of sweet plantains which were cooked to perfection. Side salad ok, love the pikliz. Quite a few sandwiches to choose from. Egg fromage crepe was a yummy, egg/cheese/spinach/onion omelette packed with flavor. Sweet crepes and savory patties also available. Latte and cappuccino was on point. Love the art and vibes, playlist with a mix of soca and early 2000s hip hop was music to my ears. Felt like home. Few outdoor seating tables also available.

I was happy that I got to finally visit here and try the vegan griot. Overall, the food was very good and I enjoyed the vegan griot and thought this was a creative dish to put on their menu. Furthermore, the chickpeas patty was very good. The only thing is the customer service could be a little better where guests feel more welcomed at the establishment, otherwise great food and nice ambience.
