The Creme Brulee French Toast earns unanimous praise for its decadent, custardy richness, while the overall vibe is one of indulgent, comforting satisfaction.
“This is the thickest big boy French toast I've ever seen. Their whole motto is to have bread that's always freshly baked. There's a constant rotation of warm brioche bread being baked. The creme brulee version gets a piece of bread soaked in egg wash, grilled, then topped with sugar and torched to get a hard caramel surface. It comes out sizzling like fajitas at a Mexican restaurant. There's a sauce poured underneath that looks like a custard but is their special sauce, also comes with strawberry jam and maple syrup. Inside it's super custardy, almost like Korean-style steamed egg. It's very soft and spongy on the inside, but outside you get that nice crackle and crunch from the hardened sugar. I expected it to be much sweeter, but it's actually not that sweet. You get a little burnt caramel note. The custard underneath tastes like a Hong Kong egg tart, quite eggy. The burnt caramel on top cuts through the soft jiggliness. The quality of the bread is incredible. The bread might be a little too moist because the custard didn't seep completely through, but that might be a choice. We had to wait an hour to get in, but you put your name down and look around the area. I think it's pretty worth doing. 8.1 out of 10.”

French Toast
This is the best brunch I've ever had in my life, by far. The French toast is soft, caramelized, piping hot, with cold ice cream. The egg cooking is out of this world. With the meatball, it makes sense — you need something savory with the sweet. In three people, get what we got, plus extra bread to dip in the purgatory sauce because we didn't have it and I'm eating my hands. Insane.
Flaky Bread with Mango Cream and Ice Latte
The bread you pull apart by hand, it's so flaky. Look at that. It smells like butter. Mmm, buttery. We got one with cheese and one with raspberry. So good.
