First time eating here… I absolutely loved it!! Super chill sitting outside and watching the slow motion of passersby’s. The food was very simple but healthy and well plated. It’s by far the best tomato soup I have ever had. The lamb sandwich was easy to eat and filling. It needed a little salt but so what. Ethan was the “hostess with the mostest”. Sorry.. he is male, but I like that saying. He gave us the information on their honey supplier and the fly fans they had on the table, which I quickly ordered. My last note is you HAVE to get the chocolate peanut butter gluten free cookie. Omg…. I’m a sugar addict. These are so GD good! Omg… I went for another, and they were sold out!! Go for the agave mocktail too!!

We started with the gluten-free almond cakes as an appetizer, served with syrup and butter—they were amazing! Light, fluffy, and topped with strawberries, they were a perfect start. For my entrée, I had the patty melt with potato wedges. We originally asked for fries (because they looked incredible in other reviews), but unfortunately, fries are only served at dinner. I usually like a side of ranch with my potatoes, but they only had ketchup. Thankfully, our sweet server found an aioli-style sauce for me to dip in, which was a nice touch. The patty melt itself was a bit on the sweet side due to the sauce—personally, I prefer my savory items to stay savory and my sweet items sweet. But overall, the vibe of the place was nice and worth checking out!
