When a group eats out, there is usually one person eyeing everyone else’s meal with regret. It’s not normal for everyone to feel like a different meal would have been better, far less for 5 people to then swap meals with each other and still feel unhappy.

Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a solid breakfast spot with good vibes and even better food. We’ll...
