If you’re gluten-intolerant and have given up on breakfast restaurants, this is the place to try again. Ask your server when you arrive and they’ll walk you through your options.

We specifically sought out a space with history and character, and the century-old building on Kavanaugh Boulevard delivered exactly that. It’s been an immediate fit with a neighborhood that has high standards for its local businesses.

The Heights location is housed in a lovingly restored building that’s over 100 years old, one of the older commercial structures on Kavanaugh Boulevard. The space has been renovated with care to preserve its historical character while creating a warm, inviting dining room. Multiple guests have specifically mentioned the decor and atmosphere in their reviews: “stunning new decor and beautifully remodeled space,” “so stylish and inviting.” It’s a room worth being in, which is part of what makes a slow brunch here feel different from breakfast anywhere else.

It’s intimate, storied, and feels like it belongs to the neighborhood. Best for locals, neighborhood walkers, visitors wanting an authentic Little Rock experience, and anyone who values a dining space with genuine history.

Best for West Little Rock residents, hotel guests in the Chenal corridor, and visitors to the west side.

Both are great. Which one is right for you depends on where you are and what kind of morning you want.
