"Didn’t expect to love Under-Study as much as I did, but this is a top 3 breakfast spot for me. Order on the far left and then enjoy sitting on the patio. Great ambience, there’s an outdoor fireplace and modern lighting fixtures. Probably the best bacon egg and cheese sandwich I’ve ever eaten. Husband had them substitute bacon for sausage and it was revolutionary. The pastry chefs here should be commended on their lamination, the croissant was glistening and had exquisite layers. Pepper aioli added a perfect layer of subtle heat. Iced honeycomb latte was also not to be missed. Love the aesthetics and crunch of the candied topping. Bacon trio was good, but wasn’t the highlight here. We also enjoyed the lobster French omelette, newly added Opera cake and two cookies. The subtle details (gold dusted coffee beans, candied figs, caramel drizzle) are what make these so memorable. Highly recommend trying if you’re in the area!"
