Between circus acts, performers need to refuel, and there is perhaps no more foolproof way than in a warm, homey, inviting brunch spot quite literally named after butter. There’s always a line out the door on weekends, for good reason. Maybe it’s the bottomless cups of coffee, the generous portions or the friendly ambiance courtesy of longtime hospitality professionals Benny and Susan Mosqueda, who dreamed of this concept in a former diner for years before building it into reality. The classic American breakfast menu, inflected with Filipino and Pacific Islander flair (lumpia, fried rice with Spam, longaniza), make this a repeat destination with comfort food transformed by various flavor profiles.
