LOKMA, NO HANDS

Quick, to the Mediterranean Brunch Spot

Let's just keep this brunch train rolling with the Richmond's newest spot for just such a thing. It's called Lokma and it'll be offering your usuals like avocado toasts alongside your not-so-usuals like Turkish egg scrambles. Unless Turkish egg scrambles are your usuals.
