Came here for brunch (love brunch!) and was NOT disappointed.  I came here on a weekday around 1pm and waited for about 15 minutes for a table.  I would have waited longer if I had to.  This place oozes of hipster cool (yeah, I said…More »

I love brunch and MTK is definitely a place to check out for a different spin on brunch.
I had the Lottie Says "It Keeps Me Thin, Mrs. Pierce".  I'm not too sure if this actually does since it's a salad with mushroom (looove mushrooms), rosemary…More »

The place is pretty cute with decor, plates, bowls, teapots etc. that's seemingly a mash up of cute garage sale finds with toast prints painted on the ceiling. They have a number of old school toasters scatter all around the restaurant and salt &…More »

This place as the bear theme down - they're everywhere, which makes it cheesy and fantastic at the same time.

I went for a late lunch after shopping at the Gilroy outlets (just a 5-10 minutes walk).  I chose the "Bear Choice" since I was craving some…More »

I came here with my sisters for brunch on a Sunday so there was free street parking. (Yay!).

The decor is nice and the tables are well spaced out. We were seated by the bar area close to the entrance. They have huge windows which are nice but get in…More »

I had the poached egg with the "spicy Moroccan meatballs" and the lavendar latte.
The latte was fantastic - just sweet enough but not overwhelming that you can't appreciate the espresso itself.

I came by here with a couple of friends and my husband this past Sunday.  We arrived at 10:45am and waited 45 minutes.  I think that if you're a party of 2 the wait should be shorter since there seems to be more tables accommodating two people.
