I went here 2 years ago and while I don't remember much about that time I do recall thinking it was a neat, cozy place. Having recently gone here for brunch I no longer think this place is all that neat. The food was not good and the service was the worst I've had in beijing and I'm pretty forgiving when it comes to the level of beijing service. In general I don't like that this place isn't open before 1130, usually I like to have brunch before then and I don't get brunch if I already have breakfast in the morning.
The visit: I was unimpressed with the extent of the brunch menu but got the "create your own" english breakfast or something along those lines. I ordered toast, sausage and eggs and was told I needed to order 5 things to get the coffee that came with the meal. Nothing on the menu about that but these things are common so I didn't pay much attention. I decided to grab a few more cheap items, some plain toast and some jam. At which point the waitress informed me that I'd already ordered toast and got pissy about that. When the food came I was missing jam so when she was nearby I mentioned missing jam, she stood there and said that she would talk to the kitchen about it. My eggs were chalky tasty with a texture I've never had in poached eggs. Toast was cold. My boyfriends bacon was soft and had no crunch at all. Overall the experience continued to go downhill and I was glad to pay and leave.
