Nice cosy feel. Large portions. Great coffee. I had the avocado toast. It is a little different served with feta and tomatoes, with the poached eggs on the side. My friend had the eggs benny. Said the sauce needed more lemon but the eggs were perfect.

Barking Mad, it's quite rad!
I tried Beignets, it tasted very good with the sauce! Recommend it!

Loved 95% of everything here. Chicken and jalapeño waffles were excellent, breakfast sandwich was amazing, the coffee tasted very fresh and good, service was great. Only complaint was the coffee was so hot when it came out I couldn't even drink it for the first 15 minutes, and the espresso martini was too sweet; minor complaints. Worth checking this place out.

The avocado toast was a little long in the toaster. But overall everything was delicious and nice atmosphere. Very friendly staff, too. I'd suggest to add the egg benedict with avocado instead of bacon (pictured) to your menu. It was *chef's kiss*.

Barking Mad is THE place to be on a Saturday night. Alongside the live music performance, the ambience is very relaxed, friendly and warm. Giorgio is the best manager BMC has ever had and he treats everyone as family with a smile and with love. You can tell he is passionate about the quality of the food and makes your entire experience there welcoming. I look forward to seeing him every time. Nadia was bubbly and kind (and fast!!) - thanks for serving us and checking in to make sure we had everything we needed. The fall menu looked amazing and we ordered the butternut squash pizza and the fried cauliflower with spicy avocado
P.S order the Tiramisu for dessert! It was a great way to end the night. 10/10

Love this place! Whether for pick up or dine in. I've been coming here for years but I was really impressed the last time I visited. I came in with my daughter 2mins before the kitchen closed, they took my order as quickly as possible and let me and my daughter sit. The brunch and service, superb as usual 👌🏾.

First time. $$. Bela our server was great. We sat outside as the weather was perfection. The egg sandwich on brioche lacked flavor and presentation was underwhelming. Chicken and waffles was good not great. Everyone else said they enjoyed their food.

Enjoyed the jalapeño chicken and waffles and the carnitas eggs benedict. Dirty chai was 11/10. Really cute place with good food and nice staff - we’ll be back!

First time visiting. The wait was under 15 minutes despite it being busy and coming as a party of 2 for walk-in seating. The server was kind and attentive. Loved the crab benedict, highly recommend. Latte & cappuccino were also great. It was a bit loud, but we visited on a Sunday at noon.
Moderate price points. You could average $20 a person.
A heads up: this is a food centered place with a social environment. This is not a cafe for reading, working, or lingering. Great for food with friends or family.
We will certainly be back to try other menu items.

This was my first time at Barking Mad Cafe. I took my son & met some girlfriends for brunch & the food was incredible.
Perfect place for a date night or a delicious brunch. I mean, just look at my pics.
They have bottomless mimosas, but no other alcohol. They make beautiful-looking coffee, but unfortunately, I don't drink coffee.
Parking was ok but the service was awesome. The vibe of the restaurant is clean and modern, so it was perfect! Love the open-concept kitchen.
Highly recommend Barking Mad.
