Kavos ERA — Restaurant in Vilnius

It was a place where we used to go for a breakfast quite often (Savanoriu pr.) in the recent time, but seems, it was the last time. One of the problem is that 95% of staff are very young people, who simply doesn't care about quality. We already noticed in previous time that if you look up-there is a plenty of dust and once waitress was bringing a plate to other people with plenty of beetroot fingerprints outside, today nobody cleaned tables and even after trying to clean with paper napkin - no reaction. While were waiting for the dish, noticed that girl, who works on a kitchen, takes her personal phone with the same gloves and then continues to cook not even washing hands, then touching benedict eggs with the hands. Coffee cups were brought with coffee marks outside, just hope that they appeared when waitress was bringing it to the table, not from other people who drunk the coffee from those cups before. Nobody from staff is wearing any kind of headdress, as a result hair found under Benedict egg. Then asked a waitress to re-do the dish, after waiting 15min-nobody did anything, asked if they will re-do and the answer was amazing: "I hadn't understood you...". Then after waiting more-finally, re-did and gave the bun as an exuse. Once before ordered pancackes with curd decorated by strawberies and it was with other tastes like bacon/eggs etc. as seems it was coocked on the same surface as meat/eggs, was disappointed, so decided not to order that dish anymore. Before the situation with hair in dish it was one of the most favourite breakfast place, but to my regret is not going to be anymore due to all the...

Kavos ERA used to be one of my favorite brunch places until now. Yesterday I had a very disappointing experience with the service. As usually, I ordered mixed Benedict eggs (one with goat cheese, other with avocado) and they brought one with salmon instead. I said that I hadn't ordered with salmon (as I'm vegetarian and don't eat fish, so I couldn't order that meal by definition) and asked to change to my dish. Instead of trying to solve the problem, the girl started arguing rudely, trying to prove that I had ordered Benedict egg with salmon (my friends where near and heard that I didn't order with salmon). The waitress said that she didn't know what to do (not talking about changing my dish), so I asked for the manager. A man from the kitchen came with the same dish and said that it is vegetarian meal and that I have ordered it and that the waitress had repeated my order 3 times (which is 1. not true, 2. that man wasn't even there when I was ordering). He was talking really rudely (even raising his voice), said that not going to redo the order and that I'm getting money back. Then he threw the dish to the recycle bin (so everyone can see). In ~5 min they brought 2 Benedicts with avo (still not exactly my order, but it's ok as I can eat it), not even saying sorry. The mood and brunch was ruined for the whole group.

To sum up, very good food but very disappointing service. Hope it was an unfortunate coincidence and the staff will be friendlier with...

Honestly the closest Vilnius has to an American breakfast place (though be ready to chorizo instead of link sausages and bacon being not as crisp as you would expect to see in Chicago). You may not get bottomless coffee refills and you order at the bar, but the food and the vibe is like a dream come true.

The menu is long and tons of options are covered but they can cook whatever you like and this is what I do when I am not ordering their exemplary Eggs Bennies. They serve breakfast all day to 6 pm - for as long as they are open.

They have a massive following from Vilnius expat community and lines sometimes are massive but if you will feel right at home if you miss your Manhattan Sunday morning trendy breakfast fix.

Be sure to try their brioche buns (croissants are also Cote d'Azur textbook stuff) - for under €15 you get the works. The same will set you back at least $25 in LA if you are lucky.

Once they get perfect bagels (theirs now are perfectly good but I always shoot for the stars) I will ask if I can move there and do...
