because... it's almost too pretentious for even the most well-heeled hipster, however their Souffled Egg Sandwich is heavenly. To die for. All their treats are delicious. Seriously. Like get up early and wait in line for. Because that's exactly what you'll have to do for about 20 minutes. And that's 20 minutes of standing in line in an uber hipster coffeehouse/bakery that intentionally has no Internet service. That's how cool they are. And no, you can't call ahead because they have no phone either. So of course, now you have to go.

because... lemon ricotta pancakes, prime rib hash, and crab & egg. Their Bloody Marys are killer, too. Lindey's is upscale and a great place to 'hob nob'. It's definitely one of my top picks for brunch [pro tip: make a reservation for the patio and use the complimentary valet (tip generously)].
