We told people we offer super premium coffee and scratch-baked sweets and savories in north Gaithersburg, and they told us we were crazy. We told them we cook in a wood hearth, and they said we were batty. We thought to pair food with specialty cocktails and house infusions; they thought we were nuts. We revealed the on-site aeroponic, organic garden where we grow vegetables, herbs and edible flowers, and they whispered we were mad as a hatter. And as the lights sparkled above a 100+ seat outdoor patio, they declared us Barking Mad.

Here’s to the mad ones - Jack Kerouac

We had a relaxing brunch, with great food and drinks. There was plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, so everyone was well spread out. Definitely recommended as a brunch spot, although we really want to go back and try their pizzas. They looked great coming out of the oven.

Excellent experience. Reservation for outdoor seating, seated promptly and service was excellent. Our food was cooked perfectly. They were very clean and socially distancing was easy. We went for brunch and will definitely go back soon.

We ate brunch at the cafe outside on their covered patio which adjoins an open grassy community area. It was an attractive area. The menu was fairly limited to typical brunch fare and the food was delicious. The wait staff was welcoming and attentive and the food was delivered quite promptly. We will be returning to this restaurant soon.

I was pleasantly surprised by this place! We sat outside for lunch (because- COVID), but probably would have sat outside anyway - the day was beautiful. The food was superb. My smoked turkey and brie sandwich was delicious, as was the fried cauliflower we had as an appetizer. We also had the sweet potato fries, which they apparantly make by hand. They were light and airy. A good suggestion on the part of the server. The only thing lacking, was the server kept forgetting things we asked for, so kept having to remind him. Other than that, he was friendly and helpful. However, it did appear he was the only one working the entire outside area, so maybe he had a lot. It wasn't crowded though and very quiet and peaceful.
