We ate here on after reading some great reviews. We ordered the "Mercy Mercy" plate, or mystery plate, after hearing great things... Master cook, revolutionary, etc. One of the plates was rice, beans, tortilla strips, pork belly and veggies. The other was an omelette. Okay food, but exciting and different? Not at all. $16 was too much to pay per... More

I cannot say anything nice. Skip it save your money and go to a highly recommended Astoria eatery. Any one of them will be cleaner.

We stopped in for breakfast based on local recommendations. Funky place with fun atmosphere. It was just my wife and I and two other patrons. We ordered two breakfast specials. The food took about 30 minutes for egg dishes while the cook (who said he only had one grill) talked politics, etc. with other patrons. Unfortunately, while was doing this... More

Nice people, cool place, surrounding small portions of blah food. My chicken sausage hash was actually a tiny smattering of lukewarm taters bits sprinkled with 3 tiny slices tasteless sausage. Awful. If it were not for the toast, I'd have had to go eat again after the meal somewhere else. It took 50 minutes to get our food too. I... More

I like the set up and the chairs are cozy , it has a good feeling to it. Wifi is always a plus at any coffee shop.

Oh man, this is the bomb of food in Astoria. There is so much offered here. They are always making fresh from scratch stuff. blue bread is kick butt. breakfast is unbeatable. nothing ordinary here. go hot. they love peppers here. full bar next door.
