Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for 3rd+ dates or casual meetups. The energetic group atmosphere and no-reservation policy create stress. If brunch is the vibe, choose a quieter spot for meaningful conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Reservations aren't accepted here - it's walk-in only. Weekdays before 10am or after 1pm are your best bet. Weekend peak (9am-12pm) expect 30-45 min waits.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes - families welcome with a kids menu and casual vibe. The pancake flights are perfect for sharing with little ones. Weekday mornings are calmer than weekend brunch chaos.
Do they do the pancake flights all day? Yes - all menu items available during full operating hours (7am-3pm daily). Pancake and French toast flights are signature items served until close.
Is it worth the wait on weekends? If you're craving Instagram-worthy pancake flights and creative benedicts, yes. If you want a quiet meal, no - come on a weekday instead or try after 1pm when crowds thin.
Best For
Better for: Creative sweet breakfast items and shareable flights that photograph well. Boozy brunch cocktails and group-friendly portions. Best in Echo Park for fun, playful brunch vibes without pretension.
Skip if: You want a quiet, intimate meal or need reservations for a specific time. Also skip if you're seeking elevated/fine dining brunch - this is casual chain energy with creative flair, not craft precision.
