This place is so beautiful and charming, the music selection was the perfect vibe, the staff was gentle and kind hearted, the painting collection on the wall was fantastic, the coffee was strong! The food was bursting with flavors like fresh basil, pickled onions, tangy garlic sauce, glazed garden greens, perfectly cooked eggs. Gluten Free options! The restaurant was clean and busy. The owners were present and greeting customers. The prices were right on point with the quality, and something that a photo can't capture was the amazing atmosphere! Just Beautiful. Thank you The DAMN TASTY for the best breakfast!
Already anticipating coming back again! Our first time here, so we ordered Turkish Eggs and the Banh Mi Burger. Both were so flavorful and delicious! I got a small Bruce Banner smoothie, which was the perfect palette cleanser. Great brunch!
Very cool spot in and much needed area on The North Side of La Crosse! Grew up here and this area could be so great and hopefully this place helps start a trend! Even my 20yr old sister said “this doesn’t feel like the Northside” and I thought that was quite the compliment haha! Counter service and seat yourself setup, with coffee offerings, pastries, and 5-6 breakfast options. I personally love the back patio with a good amount of picnic tables, and the brick building with ivy is beautiful and provide that classic historic vibe of La Crosse. Just need a proper busing station and garbage, the paper bag garbage outside was odd. Def could see some string lights and live music at night being really cool! I had the Turkish eggs which were pretty good, the dish could probably use half as much greek yogurt. Otherwise everything was good! Eggs poached perfectly, chili oil gave a nice kick and the bread was on point. Herb scone was good too. My fiancé really enjoyed the potato hash, and the few bites I had were really good! The caramelized onions really add a great flavor. Strawberries n Cream French toast also got rave reviews. Also should note they did make some basic French toast for one person I was with who has some food allergies, I thought that was a really good accommodation. My couple suggestions: maybe doing a few things à la carte or a basic-ish dish, the menu is great but def foody geared…the area def warrants a few basic items. Maybe laminate the menus, and mention checking daily pastry and coffee specials, and better signage in front because all you see is the ugly yoga awning. OH, and ask people if they are sitting inside or out, so you can have people wait at their tables and staff can call order names inside and outside as well. This will help avoid congesting area near counter and entry! High hopes for this place and “Old Towne North”, def come check it out for a tasty breakfast and lunch.
BEST breakfast I have ever had, hands down. Both dishes (Turkish Eggs / French Toast) were bursting with flavor. I didn't even use the syrup as I didn't want to ruin the deliciousness of the curd and compote. Cannot wait to return!
Such tasty! The bahn mi burger was so good I forgot to snap a pic. And those chips, so thick! Very crunchy and lightly salted to perfection! I managed to photograph the last one ;) Only wish is that there was wifi because my phone had no service in that spot.
