Basically the best brunch ever. Be prepared to wait for about 30 minutes no matter what. It's ok, they have self serve coffee and an area to relax while waiting for your table.

The real Star here is the Goodwill Outlet- where everything is sold by the pound. You never know what you will find! If you’re willing to pick through a ton of funky junk, you can score really unique clothes and wares here. Some days it’s a madhouse, some days it’s nothing but junk. Really a tossup, but definitely an adventure. Stop at Taqueria Muñoz on the way home!
