Editorial Review
Vintage ’50s Formica tables, a salvaged church pew and mismatched chairs seat locals cheek-by-jowl in this tiny purple and yellow room with well-worn hardwood floors and a homey open kitchen. During a busy brunch, two poached eggs on cornmeal pancakes with red pepper and goat cheese sauce are perfectly runny; the pancakes are nicely sweet, although crunchy in spots and a bit dry. Ditto the accompanying baby potatoes, which have nice paprika heat but are parched and wrinkled. The red pepper–goat cheese sauce is a rich, tangy departure from the standard hollandaise. One and a half thick slices of French toast arrive golden, fluffy and topped with incongruous sliced pear and a rustic, seed-crunchy raspberry sauce. Portions are generous, the service casual, the coffee decent.
