This charming spot excels in breakfast and dinner, offering a diverse menu that celebrates comfort food with a modern twist. Diners rave about the eggs Benedict and matcha tea, while enjoying a remarkable selection of cocktails and organic dishes. Service is fast and friendly, making it great for solo dining or family outings. With wheelchair accessibility and a welcoming vibe, The Essential is not just a meal; it's a delightful moment waiting to be savored.
I had an amazing experience at The Essential! 🌟 The vibe is trendy yet cozy, perfect for a casual brunch. I ordered the eggs Benedict, and they were just splendid - flavorful and beautifully presented. Although my pancakes were a bit too lemony for my taste, the awesome atmosphere and fast service more than made up for it!
The staff was friendly, especially Brittany, who gave fantastic recommendations. The selection of cocktails and beers is impressive too! Don’t miss their matcha tea; it’s the best in town. Can’t wait to return! 🍽️✨
