#5 in Brunch + breakfast
What to get
- Smashed avocado toast with sweet corn, jalapeño and red onion
- Turkish eggs with garlic yogurt
- Twice-baked French toast or ricotta hotcakes
- Flat white
When to go
Happy hour runs 2 pm to close every day, and Fri–Sun the cafe stays open to 5 pm, so a late weekend afternoon gives the longest window. Infatuation pitches it as the calm end-of-week catch-up spot.
Insider tip
From the Attaboy cocktail-bar team (Sam Ross, Michael McIlroy, Kate Ross). If East is slammed, the 12 South Hearts keeps the same hours. The happy-hour menu is posted as an image on the official menu page.
