Lively all‑day brunch cafe by a hotel pool with creative touches and generous portions; food is often tasty but service speed and consistency can fluctuate.
Why it gets a B for overall quality
Attitude Cafe delivers reliable brunch quality with charming poolside setting and colorful decor that create an inviting neighborhood atmosphere. Strong food quality on signature items like Banana Foster French toast and chicken and waffles is countered by inconsistent execution on Benedicts and salmon bowls, while occasional service delays during busy periods prevent higher performance. Fair value and friendly staff make it a solid choice for casual brunch, though it falls short of the area's premier dining destinations.
Restaurant Summary
Set just off The Grove and attached to a boutique hotel, Attitude Cafe feels warm and bustling with colorful murals and poolside tables. Guests talk about staff who remember faces and a room that is cute and comfortable. One diner summed it up: "A calm space for brunch with friendly service," though a few warned of slow ticket times during peak hours. The cooking leans classic American brunch with global twists—think kimchi fried rice, birria hash, and shakshuka alongside pancakes and waffles. Fans rave about the Banana Foster French toast and chicken and waffles, while some found Benedicts or the salmon bowl inconsistent. It suits diners who enjoy familiar plates with playful flavors rather than high-concept cuisine. For families, it is quite kid-friendly thanks to pancakes, waffles, burgers, fries, and simple eggs. There is no kids menu noted, but portions are shareable and sides abound. If picky eaters dislike herbs or cilantro, ask to omit since it appears on several dishes; sweet brunch items and classic combos are safe bets.
