- LaMar CowanDecember 27, 2014Catfish, roasted potatoes, and eggs topped with avocados. I will be visiting this place every time I visit CT! Claudia was awesome!!
Brunch specials are different every week and nothing has ever been disappointing! All of the omelettes are delicious and what they do to French toast is definitely 'food porn'. Totally worth the wait!
Lauren BradleyJanuary 27, 2013Always a long wait but there's a reason everyone has birthday brunch here. Not limited to eggs benedict but their hollandaise is addictive, bellinis in various flavors, One of New Haven's best spots
The best brunch in new haven, and reasonable. Rotating menu, almost never disappointed. Be prepared to wait 30-60 min, and they don't take reservations.
Sandy PaoMarch 3, 2014Very friendly waitress and great shrimp n grits, but budget 3 hrs for brunch as they do not take reservations and food is served roughly an hr after ordering.
urbandataApril 16, 2011The chiles rellenos (savory) and the dark chocolate-, brie- & raspberry-stuffed French toast (sweet) are among the best items here. If you are lucky, they will both be on the menu. Order them.- urbandataFebruary 27, 2011Try the Challah French Toast. One particularly good version is stuffed w/ Peanut Butter, roasted peanuts & caramelized bananas in Rum Maple syrup. Brunch menu changes each weekend, check the website.
Simply the warmest service and most delicious breakfast around, with an atmosphere that restores my spirit every time. I live 25 miles away, and make a special detour to Bella's any morning I'm near
Claudia is a wonderful server! The grits are delicious; very pudding-like.
Charlotte LewisOctober 22, 2015I always go for brunch and am never disappointed with anything! Their specialty coffee drinks are amazing too.
christy robinsonJanuary 3, 2015I had brunch here and it's not bad kinda loud tho but if you're going with a group or some family members it's a nice place
Everyday there is a new menu but you'll always find a new French toast creation everyday... Order that and you'll never go wrong!
Chris SedelmaierJuly 30, 2015Service was slow the morning that I went, but the food more than made up for the wait! The shrimp and grits were outstanding.
P JFebruary 17, 2013Try the French Toast Special - French toast stuffed with brie, topped with raspberry, blueberry, blackberry!- Ginena DuMarch 18, 2012The salmon risotto special is so delicious! Also, bellinis and mimosas are great!
Brittany ColemanApril 15, 2012French toast is amazeballs! But avoid the chilaquiles unless you like runny egg whites and overlooked steak :P
Try the Crispy Chicken Breakfast Burrito - The aftermath. It was amazing
Ana LOctober 6, 2010Best breakfast around- had the stuffed French toast last week with Brie cheese & strawberries- delicious!!
Caleb BryantJune 4, 2017This place is utterly terrible. On top of waiting OVER TWO HOURS for food which we never received, there were multiple health code violations including a waitress dipping her hand into a coffee.
You just don't find breakfast like this anywhere else. Truly awesome!
Jennifer MilanoApril 21, 2013Watch out for false advertising! They offered me a $5 coupon for "liking" them on Facebook, and after I did, would not give me $5 off.

"Awesome food! Pizza with chorizo is delicious. Look out for the cavatelli with sausage and squash. It's the best special but they don't have it that often!"
