My son and I have had breakfast at Scullery three times this week. The quality of the food is really outstanding - try their Eggs Benedict with Salmon but also their pancakes, the coffee is superb and the service is excellent. The music is pleasant and not too loud and the ambience great. In sum, Scullery is a terrific place to have breakfast!

nice place and cozy, excellent service and nice food and coffees, and we went there 2 days in a row and that suppose to say something... while we did try to go there for the 3rd day in a row, however, they didn't open on the Sunday morning hours, which is understable. a place to chill and relax, a highly recommended one !

We occasionally dine here for breakfast. The overall setting is not particularly noteworthy, but the food options, hot and cold beverages, and coffee especially are redeeming features. Furthermore, the background jazz music adds a touch of sophistication to the ambiance.
