Excellent hidden gem breakfast spot. Basically had the entire menu between my wife and 2 kids. Everything was well prepared and tasted great. Extra kudos for well decorated interior.

By far the best breakfast in this town. Friendly, perfectly clean and great service. We very much enjoyed the brunch toast (high quality smoked salmon). And ordered 10 crêpes to go for lunch. We’ll be back soon to enjoy their lunch.

Nice to have this option in town for breakfast. Good options, friendly staff, and quick service. Glad to see this corner of town getting cleaned up! Would recommend to friends and family if they are in the area.

Large portions for the price. Pancakes are hugh. Dont get a five stack as it is way too much for one person, only if you're sharing. Fritatta was large and amazing. All the food here was good. Awsone prices, not expensive at all. Definitely worth checking this place out. Came twice already, will be coming back for more.

Best breakfast/brunch in town. The staff is amazing. The setup given the current climate is perfect, with plexiglass dividers between every table, so I had no concerns with being able to kick back and enjoy a delicious meal. I can't recommend this place enough. I've been here for dinners too, and I highly recommend the Chilean sea bass or short ribs.
