I came here for breakfast with my friend and it was nice! The food was good but unfortunately did come out a bit cold. The service was really nice though and I enjoyed the location since it was in walking distance of some good shops. My favorite part about this place is that the give you post cards with your bill, to write a note and send to someone. Overall it was a good experience.

Met a friend after work for a post birthday celebration….neither of us had ever been to Laurel. Very glad we went ! The drinks were great… crafted by a fabulous bartender, Christopher !! He was super friendly and very welcoming, realizing we had never been. We had an appetizer snack which was a mix of hummus and olives and cheese with some pita and crostini… delicious ! The desert however was amazing!! Olive oil cake with a pistachio topping… and pistachio gelato ! I’m still thinking about both ! The manager Christian, also very nice ! Can’t wait to go back in the summer as Christopher told us they have 80 outdoor seats ! Will definitely become a new regular spot !
