Great spot for breakfast/brunch. Walked in was greeted but the associate was alone serving so many tables, cooking and doing take out orders. Very impressive service for one person didn't catch his name but he was great! The food was amazing I was very satisfied especially for a breakfast dish! Definitely recommend 10/10 for me! We got the chicken and waffles as well as Eggs Benedict.

Their waffles are amazing. Love the spacious free parking in this location. Love the Interior decor of this place. The young lady who served us is very courteous , knows the menu and provided good recommendation (long ponytail & could be Indian descent ). The only two areas of improvements: 1) They do not accept credit card payment, could be a turn off for many people. 2) Inconsistent level of customer services. The cashier (male, could be Indian descent, on Sunday Jan 5, 2025) could be new to the country, and store manager should consider this is couching opportunities. His demeanor is quite pushy and dominant, not just to customers, but aslo to his colleagues.

Hey! I just came here today and got some super awesome food. I love waffles/pancakes and I like the idea of making everything have waffles. I got the bluebery waffle with ice cream which was awesome and I got a main dish I forgot the name of. The food is very tasty! This place is really close my house. What stood out was Melissa the server/cashier there. She made a very warm welcome and was very kind! I will definitely be taking my friends and my girlfriend to try out more food here. If you want a desert/main expect to spend around 30 dollars or a little more. There's tons of parking in the area too so that's fine.

We recently visited the Starving Artist for breakfast and were thoroughly impressed. The coffee was exceptional—some of the best I've had in a while. The waffles were perfectly made, with just the right amount of crunch on the outside and a wonderfully soft and fluffy interior. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Overall, a fantastic breakfast spot that we highly recommend.

Great food, the service could’ve been a bit better. May be the waiter wasn’t having a good day. Nonetheless, good food. Also, I didn’t get the chai latte I ordered and paid for, didn’t notice until I got home. UPDATE: I was able to go back and get the chai latte. She was super nice about it too

Great spot! Been here twice with the family first time was Mother’s Day tried to look for a brunch place. However, everyone was booked checked on Google for ones nearby. This one came up decided to try as it was close by and it was great. Service of the staff is awesome, the food and especially the waffles are delicious. My wife wants to out all the options in the menu. We will definitely be back again and again. Cheers

Delicious food! Always passed by without trying but smelled delicious waffles. Decided to try it and it's so worth it. Will definitely be back again. We got a mini, salmon waffle sandwich, and vanilla almond latte. The server was also really nice and let us know that we can substitute bacon with avocado no extra charge. And that was really helpful. (Everything is waffles )
