Scott Sparks: The scones are amazing! I had the Popeye & it was definitely meant to be shared (ridiculously sized).
Village Voice: Try to stop by during the weekdays either in the morning for fresh scones and omlettes or in the evening for a bowl of savory tomato soup in the frigid weather.
Katie Allen: The restaurant is super cute. It is crowded, but we got a table at brunch within 10 min. I split the lemon ricotta pancakes and the Goldie Lox. Both were delicious and the currant scone was fab too.
