OK! This place has set our new standard! We tried a veggie breakfast burrito, the home fries, chocolate gravy biscuit and a vanilla cold brew. WOW, they just completely blew my husband and I away! The flavor and texture of everything is incredible. Potatoes fried and crispy exactly how they should be. A burrito that was actually full of flavor, and the chocolate gravy and biscuit was the best I ever had. The cold brew I probably wouldn’t order again sadly, it wasn’t very sweet at all and not nearly enough cream for my tastes. I probably could have asked for more to be fair because the people in there were very friendly and on top of things! The place has a great vibe. Really happy to see a place like this in the downtown area, it really needed this. Last good cafe type place we had was the Java Garden that shut down years ago. Great prices too. This is our new go to spot and I encourage everyone to go and enjoy it too!! Let’s keep this place in business because it’s THAT good!

This was our first time here and I was so surprised! Fantastic food and friendly people. We had a little bit of a wait so wandered across the street to shop but we were notified when a table was ready. Will definitely be back.

This place is the bomb!! Yes… I use that phrase too much but if I use it you’ve sure enough earned it. Took my mother there for birthday breakfast. Ordered the Supreme (thought I was getting an omelette)…. Full disclosure….. my mistake. I need to learn to read. It was a burrito instead. Wowwww what a wonderful surprise. I told my Mom it’s the best mistake I’ve made in a while. Pheeeeeeeeenominal!! Great coffee as well. Great atmosphere. Friendly wait staff. Competitively priced especially for the quality and portion. Mom had a great experience and her eggs and bacon breakfast was good as well. Met the owner. A fun, personable and amazing person. They have a sandwich and salad shop menu as well, plus a sandwich shop next door. We were already looking forward to coming back before we ever left.

The ambiance at this place is top tier. I absolutely love it! The food is affordably priced and delicious. They have a streamlined menu without a ton of items. Something for everybody classic breakfast dishes. More is not always more because that will usually lead to mediocrity or poor quality. My friend ordered French toast. I ordered biscuits and gravy. Both of our items were a very good size and delicious. Highly recommend supporting this local breakfast business!!!

First time in this spot. Locally owed and great place to get an excellent meal. The breakfast burrito, pancakes, bacon, eggs, along with biscuits and gravy, all tasted great, the service was spot on and friendly. The atmosphere was comfortable and pleasant. We are already planning on going back soon. Great new spot in the old town area.

I had banana pecan pancakes with no sugar syrup. Delicious! Nothing like I can make at home. My husband had veggie breakfast wrap with nutty/berry toast. Flavorful and delicious! Their Coffee reminds me of my Grandma's.

Each inch of the space, from the seating to the wall decor, has been thoughtfully decorated with beautiful antique pieces. Very complementary to the Downtown atmosphere. When we arrived around 10am, the restaurant was pretty packed, but we only had a small wait before being seated given there were only two of us. While waiting, I enjoyed looking at the various items for sale: produce, plants, honeys, homemade soaps, etc. I especially loved their “prop swap” wall for propagated plants! After being seated, we were only given one menu and there was a wait before our server gave us an additional menu. Once our orders were placed, unfortunately, we did have to wait around 45 minutes before receiving our meals. Our server did stop by our table once we had been waiting some time to let us know there would be a wait due to the pancake griddle being full at the time. Although our server was kind, she was also very hands-off. When our food came, we requested silverware for our meals. The server only brought us two forks and one knife apologizing due to the fact they were out of knives. This was not a huge deal, but this was inconvenient. Our food was fresh and fairly good! However, the wait time for our two meals was a bit unfortunate. They were understandably busy at the time we arrived, so maybe we will come back earlier in the day and try again!

This was my first time eating here. I will most certainly be back. Everything was delicious and the wait staff and the owner were super friendly. The bacon was cooked to PERFECTION!! It was so good that I ate it before I took the pic. If I could give 10 stars I would!! Go eat here!! You won’t be sorry!!
