So good we had to go twice in the 3 days we were visiting Burlington. The perfect meal for nursing a hangover. The Monte Madame and pumpkin spice coffee was exactly what I needed. The second time was the eggs Benny and their pumpkin spice martini. Yes, I have a problem and yes, it’s pumpkin related. Great, attentive staff and fun decor created a fantastic experience.

I had the hash quiche, which was two mini quiches but the crust was hash browns. I’m going to be thinking about/craving them for a looooong time. Prices were shockingly reasonable for a “trendy” type brunch place. The food and service were also fast despite going in the middle of a holiday brunch rush. The fruit salad was fresh and good in the dead of winter and the toast came pre buttered?? Which was fantastic. Our server Maya is my friend, I’ll admit, but she’s also just a really good server. We were sat next to the server station and I could tell all of the staff were super efficient and friendly. Maya was somehow totally on top of it but didn’t seem harried or rushed. If this is your thing- it’s not mine- they have a TON of breakfast drinks as well. Overall a place with a large crea

Food was so delicious, service was excellent and the atmosphere is great. Truly a place you have to visit multiple times in order to try all there wonderful options. My wife and I split the boozy coffee flight and a cold brew gingersnap latte and they were so delicious. The Monte Madame was exquisite and has set the new standard for breakfast food. My wife got the eggs Benedict and loved ever bite. The churro bites were delicious as an appetizer and dipping the churros in the jalapeno & raspberry jam was great not spicy at all.

We visit for brunch every time we are in town. Always good, but PLEASE PLEASE bring back the beautifully plated savory chicken and waffles. It was always genius -- the best thing on the menu. The new skillet bowl version lacks the presentation vibrancy and wow factor, and simply doesn't bring the same "feature menu item" appeal and robust flavor combinations that the savory chicken and waffles has always brought. Thanks!!!

I got the chicken and waffle and the wifey got the American breakfast with French toast. I like to taste the French toast everywhere I go, but the chicken and waffle called me that day...both did not disappoint... My wife and I usually share, to try something different, this time she only gave me two bites of the French toast, she liked it that much... The table tumeric sauce was very good...I threw that on my chicken and it was a welcome addition...
