DESTINO Brunch Café

Clatter of plates announces brunch before you see it. Expect a line, particularly weekends; Reddit users note that Old Town places can be pricey, and this relative value draws crowds who know the score. Patience earns you the shakshuka.

The space is snug, seating tight. You'll be close to strangers. Menus change with the season; eggs benedict now, something else next month. The coffee is strong, the servers efficient.

Skip it if you demand solitude. The line is long, the tables too close. But for decent breakfast that isn't just pierogi, and without tourist-trap gouging, it's worth enduring the scrum.
