A great breakfast, cooked fast and delicious. The sourdough and other breads, jam, lox, pastries, are all made in house! Bakery, cafe, restaurant would all be true. We received the feeling that they care about producing a delicious meal in a comfortable restaurant with very friendly service, and they do! The coffee is hot, mimosas are cold and I don't think you can go wrong with any food choice. Carlye went out of her way to make sure we had a great time. I'm excited we were able to bring a sourdough loaf home. It took all the temptation I had to not bring a cinnamon roll too! Definitely worth a stop for a delicious breakfast.

I sat at the bar for breakfast on a Sunday morning. I ordered the Eggs Benedict and it was excellent. On my way in, I saw they had fresh-baked bread, so I added a baguette and a Quincy Sourdough loaf to my order to take home with me. The baguette was absolutely amazing! Crusty on the outside, soft and chewy on the inside. I ate the whole thing by myself in three days. The wait staff was great. The place was really busy, and service was quick and friendly.

This is probably one of, if not, the best restaurant for clean food I have ever been to! I had the Classic Eggs Benedict and that hollandaise sauce is outstanding! Most everything is made from scratch in house. Even the ketchup was absolutely fantastic! I will return in the future! Reservations are recommended! We didn't have them and only waited about 30 minutes.

Oh this place is a must try. First time here for breakfast, maybe a little more pricey than what I anticipated, but worth the money if you are having drinks to go along with breakfast. The espresso martini..... yum!! Using challah for the French toast delish.

What a wonderful place! So clean open airy and contemporary. Large variety of choices on the menu. It was so hard to decide what to eat. The food was amazing I can’t say enough good about it. Coffee was fresh hot and full of flavor. My bloody Mary was on point. I think my servers name was Jen she was super nice and attentive to our needs. Only one bad thing happened and that was we were not given a children’s menu. When I reviewed the menu I did not know there was a children’s option. So I ordered an adult size for my child. On the way out I saw the children’s menus. I would love to come here again when I’m back in town.

We loved this place. Very clean and food are yummy. Service is great. They make everything in the restaurant. We even got some pastry goods and jam to go home with us. If I ever visit Quincy again, I will go again. If you are in the neighborhood, I highly recommend it. I wish my town has something like this.
