Review by Friedrich Torp

November 29, 2024

I recently stopped by The Place 2 Be, and it was a memorable experience! 🌟 The cozy atmosphere set the perfect tone for my brunch. I indulged in their Southern Benny, a tasty revamp of the classic eggs Benedict, and paired it with a refreshing mimosa.

While the lattes were delicious, they skewed a bit sweet for my taste. The fast service was commendable, though I wish they’d offer a bit more variety in seating comfort. Overall, a delightful spot worth revisiting for their great cocktails and friendly vibe!
