I have to agree with the first post. the muffins are to die for. OMG. the best. Breakfast wait is not too bad on a sunday morning. Parking is easy to find since the meters are free. the food is decent. the staff wasn't too bad the few times i've gone. Friendly but somewhat preoccupied. Good food, nice environment with a slight view of the bridge if you are lucky.
Go Elsewhere: I've now had three or four meals here and each time it's been a disappointment. This last omlette I had was composed of some wonderful incredients (including some nice chantrelle mushrooms) but delivered in such a flavorless shell that it made you not only feel you had wasted your money, but also that they had wasted some otherwise fine food. There are many better places mere blocs away (DeLancey Street Cafe being an example). Go there.
Excellent Brunch: Want a delicious Brunch from an extensive menu of home-baked items with a healthy, organic flair? Try Town's End. While you decide, the wait staff will bring a basket of freshly baked muffins and scones that are to die for. I don't know where to start on the menu, it's all so good. I've had very friendly staff. They may be overworked, but this is not a fast-food restaurant. It's a relaxing experience where you will not be kicked off your table the minute your coffee is finished. Not to miss!
