Yes it’s a shame poor people can’t do their laundry there, but what are rich people supposed to do starve and/or move to Oakland?

Service was a mess but I expected that since they are new. It was funny to see the couple with a small child and a baby lose their shit and storm out since it took a long time for food to come. Maybe don’t bring two hungry kids to a soft opening!

The food was mixed. I had the chicken and waffles and the waffle was absolutely amazing — light, fluffy, and crispy. The chicken had a cornmeal breading that was bland and while crunchy, was way too thick.

Hopefully it will be great once they work out the kinks.

The owners hired Don Carlos for Buttermilk and for their other spot Sally’s. The workers all live in the neighborhood.

The chef is Latino, the staff Latino, and the food good.

They opened softly not because of backlash but because they need to get their groove on. On the night I went 2 servers were no shows. The one Latina who worked the tables was giving a round of applause after close by the Owners & Staff cuz Girl done worked it!

Edison bulbs! Re-reclaimed wood! Who cares about the food or the gentrification implications: the decor is genius!

Don Carlos and Juan who worked at the laundry mat for many years were promised jobs here that never materialized. Maria who sold tamales and orchata on the DL out front of the laundry mat most mornings is also not there anymore. Early morning workers came by just for her food.

Whats new in the hood creates ghosts as the neighborhood empties of the old. Whats new in the neighborhood is never anything the neighborhood needs or can afford and most of it is laughable if it wasnt so destructive. The french bistro at 24th and Hampshire, the newer restaurant going in at the site of the old “Locals Corner”, the 4 apts Ellis evicted on my block where 3 generations of folks lived,including a grandma of 92 years…all to make way for $4000, $5000 2 bedrooms?

This place opened “softly” because they are scared of the backlash… because they know in ghosts stories, the ghosts are sometimes real and hella pissed off. Up the backlash ghosty friends! <♥
