Have you met our bottle shop?

We have so many wonderful bottles of natural wines from small makers, available for purchase both to-go and ready to be paired with brunch. That is to say, yes, we endorse a nice bottle of wine with your egg platter. We’re celebrating, and you should be, too.

Fitz & Starts & Fitz & Tarts

Our lemon rosemary tart, with house made pâte sucrée and lemon curd, is our riff on the classic lemon tart, with an added elegance that not only looks fancy (see: Put a Sprig of Rosemary on Anything to Take it from a 4 to a 10), but tastes wonderful.

We’ve got on our rosemary tinted glasses, and all we can see is Brunch.

It’ll be here tomorrow during , and all weekend!

THIS ONE GOES OUT TO ALL THE VEGANS HERE TONIGHT.

Chia Pudding— made in house with coconut milk and chia— topped with our Birdseed Granola and Seasonal Fruit (we’re talking apples and cinnamon and raisins because Winter, Baby, it’s not over yet).

It’s a staple for plant-based homies and the “I wanted a sandwich, but now that I’m looking at it…” folks alike.

It’s Fruits and Nuts and Fitz and Starts, and it’s happening today @ , 9-3
