    Try the paella. Spicy chorizo, shrimp and an egg over orso. Do you have room for waffle?

    If you're getting the waffles (which you should), go with the chocolate lavender or white chocolate pistachio rosewater toppings. Or both.

    If its cold outside, be prepared to be cold inside as oblivious patrons frequently get updates on their position in line whilst holding the door open.

    It's a Monday morning (10:30am) yet the service is slow. I'd finished the waffle they'd brought by the time my coffee arrived and ate ate, real slow, just like the service...
