The DAMN TASTY

While the coconut fudge cake from the bakery section was a standout—perfectly sweet and melting in your mouth—unfortunately, breakfast was a letdown. The "classic special" kimchi toast surprisingly had no hint of kimchi, the over medium eggs arrived excessively runny and the cappuccino was cold. The French toast was merely average. Though they offer valuable gluten-free options, the service truly missed the mark.

The food here is glorious! Big fan of the Turkish Eggs — the herbs and seasoning of the yogurt combined with the eggs and chili butter makes for a refreshing yet satiating meal. And although I prefer mine smooth, their spicy tomato bisque is quite nice! Upon another visit, I discovered their Ham & Potato Hash is also incredibly delicious (LOVE the caramelized onions)! As is their Mushroom Shawarma and Breakfast Sandwich (of which I gratefully sampled from my partner and sibling, respectively). My highest praises go to their baked goods — I want to point out that I’m not gluten-free, and tend to not seek out GF items as I often find them incredibly dry, but their GF Tiramisu cupcake? Amazing. Brilliant. Captivating. I would do anything to have one in my mouth right now. The texture was nicely spongey and the frosting was to die for. My favorite baked goods from them are their citrus cakes and their savory puffs *especially*. I would also do quite literally anything to have a million of these at my disposal at any point in time. I could not stop raving about the Bacon/Ham/Cheese pastry I had a few weeks ago, it’d become my new obsession and muse. And I just want to end with: Damn Tasty, if you ever miraculously have excess day-old goodies, I’ll be here for you. 🫶 To take that load off of your shoulders, y’know?

Majority of the menu can be made gluten free. Many vegetarian options. The food was very flavorful, or maybe I should say - it was "Damn Tasty!" We went on a Friday at lunch and got the last table. The coffee was good. I got a gluten free sandwich and my daughter got the Turkish eggs. Both were delicious.
