Hands down my wife’s favorite joint. Rotating new menu daily. Sell out daily. Consistent staples which are incredible including za’atar fries, black garlic biscuit sandwiches, and schawarma. Oh and did I mention the homemade pop tarts (and pastries) that ALWAYS sell out? Go early, go big, and go home… to take a nap 😴 😅.
