The place to go for brunch in Bedford. Fair warning though, come early because this place is almost always crowded. Highlights include: flavored coffees while you wait and fresh squeezed orange juice (after you get a table). They also have a separate take out counter.
Breakfast was delicious. Florentine Frittata was light and tasty. Hash browns were perfectly browned and crispy. Bacon was perfectly crisp. Waitress could have been more welcoming and friendly. Technically ok. But lacked any kind of warmth. Got the order reversed and walked away. Swung by and said Coffee and walked away.
The food is great and all but the service..... I was there on a Sunday and the waitress told me the coffee was free and didn't charge. It's literally not on the receipt. I go back the next day and get coffee only because I thought it was free. I get charged and tell her I was told it was free the day before. She tells me "of course we charge and if you ACTUALLY read the sign you'd know it doesn't say complimentary". I don't know who was wrong but I did not deserve to be spoken to the way I was.
Gluten-free Pancake meal - 1/5
Coffee- 4/5
The pancakes were hard on the outside, doughy on the inside, and dry, even compared to other gluten-free pancakes. They were also incredibly sweet. The home fries were actually surprisingly good, well seasoned and well cooked. Bacon was crispy, but the sausage was generic.
We ordered 2 coffees, breakfast nachos, eggs benedict with corned beef hash, and a pancake meal.
Coffee was a light breakfast blend, and was good. They had sugar, raw sugar, and some sugar free options.
Eggs benedict with corned beef hash - 1/5
For how this place is rated, we expected a lot more. We were very disappointed once the meals came out.
The eggs were cooked well, but the corned beef hash tasted like it was fresh out of the can. The grilled potato hash was almost certainly frozen, and had no seasoning at all. The English muffin was so soggy it was hard to distinguish it from the corned beef hash.
These were really good, the meat on them was very delicious. My only critique would be that they were a little hard to eat. If they had scrambled eggs they would have been a little easier.
As a celiac, my main concern about a restaurant is whether they can do gluten free for me. And with French Toast, pancakes and lovely breakfasts all made gluten free, this place starts well. Service is lovely and if I was being hypercritical, it's quite expensive. The queues on a weekend morning and the steady stream on a weekday morning suggest that they're pricing right, though!
I loved the food but I never want to go back after this experience. I don't even use the tone she used towards my siblings or parents non the less a stranger.
Breakfast nachos - 4/5
