The restaurant itself is beautiful, the ambiance is warm and inviting, and the staff are friendly, attentive, and genuinely engaging.

the tuna sandwich with tomato soup was unreal. The soup portion was a bit small (or maybe I’ve just been spoiled by oversized bowls), but it was so good I was lowkey offended when it ended.

The food we ordered was beautifully bright and colorful, and the granola yogurt presentation is pleasantly surprising.

This is my second visit this month. A great place for breakfast and lunch. Fresh, sustainable products, sourced from local farms and merchants. Many specialty items are crafted in house (sauces, pastries, etc.) and they partner with Begonia Bakehouse and others for sourdough and other breads.

It’s still the best brunch spot in town, but now that I’ve had dinner there, holy cow. The menu isn’t big but it’s fantastic. The cacio e pepe was the best I’ve had. Just go. Thursday to Saturday. Not open late but who cares?

In the heart of 17th avenue is The Sweatered Hen. It's directly across from Tompkins park and it's fantastic. Interesting takes on breakfast standards, hearty sandwiches, excellent coffee and pastries. It's cute, it's great, and the service is always friendly and efficient.
