Tucked into the leafy Burnside foothills, Lockwood General delivers inventive brunch and specialty espresso worth the morning wait. East-side regulars pack the tables for thick-cut toast loaded with blistered heirloom tomatoes and salty haloumi, charred fig loaf, and monthly matcha specials. It runs strictly on walk-ins—expect a line on weekends, though tables turn quickly. Out back, the dog-friendly patio keeps things comfortable with water bowls and outdoor rugs when the weather cools, all while native parrots sweep across the yard. Sip a cold lime cherry iced tea or share a boozy brunch round as the kitchen dishes out pillowy breakfast gnocchi tossed with chorizo.

Mum had the Charred fig & walnut loaf, salted cinnamon panela butter. She LOVES that - has had it many times.

Spicy fried chicken, gochujang aioli, pickled cucumber, crispy shallot: not quite the typical Korean fried chicken, but they did their spin on it! The batter is light and crispy, and the chicken was super tender.
