Description

Founded in 1972 by students of Sri Chinmoy, the diner serves breakfast, lunch, and weekend brunch. Standouts from the kitchen include French toast and vegan omelet specials, served hot with a home-cooked style.

The interior is tightly proportioned, featuring a stool seating area ideal for solo diners. Because of the compact footprint, the pace favors a quick turnaround over lingering or large group gatherings.
