Okkkayyy Sunday Funday 🙌

Recovering from Harmony Fest? Let brunch bring you back. We'd suggest starting with a house-made bloody mary or a cold mimosa. From there, maybe lox on toast or our seasonal avocado toast, and a grapefruit with a brûléed top that cracks under your spoon. Don't forget crispy fingerling potatoes with spicy mayo. And of course, save room for a house-made poptart or flaky biscuit.

This is the ultimate post-festival brunch, and our sidewalk tables are out today, so grab your crew and soak up the sunshine. Pro tip: Reserve a table ahead of time and skip the wait.

Pickup and delivery are always an option too!

Sticking around later? Every Sunday night, our fried chicken sandwich plus a local craft b**r is just $15.

Rain all weekend? Perfect excuse for cozy comfort food and slowing down over a great meal.

We won't be at the farmers market today, but we're open all day with regular hours. Start with our breakfast sandwich and those crispy potatoes you can't stop thinking about or a fluffy stack of pancakes (add blueberries and whipped cream, trust us). Swing by for lunch and try the focaccia with a bowl of creamy corn chowder, a BLT with heirloom tomatoes, or our chicken Caesar with signature fried chicken. Staying in tonight? Order smash burgers and fries, shrimp gratin, or house-made pasta with local farm veggies. We've got you covered morning to evening.

And don't forget a scratch-made seasonal pastry! Grab an iced sugar cookie, a rich brownie made with cocoa, espresso, and chocolate chips, or our NEW apple dulce de leche poptart filled with Klug Farm apples and cinnamon. Gluten-free? We've got you with our chai carrot muffin made with Frillman Farms carrots, and a blueberry crumble featuring Mick Klug Farm blueberries with a chai-spiced oat topping. The perfect rainy day treats! (Made in limited quantities daily).
