    Lovely place to get breakfast - great big patio with lots of shade! Small-ish parking lot. The Lemon Blueberry pancakes are amazing, and I loved the lox bagel (which is elegantly built!)

    The ambience is good and close to my house. Never knew they had a happy hour, $3 drafts will have me back to sit down. Chill vibe and and good food are always a good look. Ciopinno is great here.

    Lovely outdoor patio. Tried the beet arugula feta salad and it was tasty! A friend got the turkey burger and that looked big and juicy (and I wish I got that instead).

    Dog friendly breakfast spot with lovely outdoor tables. Bean (my Frenchie) and I have enjoyed many breakfasts & lunches with friends. Great food and friendly folks.

    I love the beet salad. I order a turkey burger on the side. You can bring a book or your laptop and sit outside all day and the staff won't bother you at all. They have free wi-fi.

    Happy Hour is killer [although it ends about 30 minutes or an hour too early imo]. So far each appetizer is good except the chicken tenders. They always seem to come out dry 😪. Beer selection is 👍.

    Morning staff is always great and friendly, unlike their horrible sister cafe The Grind (Venice), Try the biscuits and gravy and coffee!

    Beef gets overlooked here, so order one stop more "rare" than you usually get it.

    The wood has fallen to the dogs. Soggy pancakes, hair in my eggs, limp bacon. I used to eat here twice a day! Every single time there is something wrong with my order now! Dmitry fix your biz!

    The salmon salad is a great lunch item if you like spinach. When they ask how you want the fish, say "let the chef decide" great meal.

    Excellent breakfast options - I love their take on eggs benedict. A day that starts at The Wood usually end up being a good day...

    Delicious food but plan on having a two hour long lunch. Service has gone from slow to slower. Oh, and good luck with the "friendly" staff.

    The day crew rocks. Mara, D, and Jesse are on point and super friendly. The night crew is lacking the same vibe as the day crew.

    Really rude. Will never go back. Went in to use a Groupon and was turned away. The place was only 25% full on a Wednesday night and they said we had to call ahead and make a reservation.

    If you like strong espresso, ask for a cuban red eye. Only Phil knows how to make it.
