Wow the food was sooo good. I got the weekly special which was a BLT sandwich and it was everything I’d want in a BLT. My husband tried the fried chicken sandwich and it was delicious. I believe the buns are homemade and you can tell. They’re so light and full of flavor. We also tried the beignets and they were very yummy to! Will be back again and again 😍

Excellent coffe (they usually even have at least two types of espresso), beautiful tableware, kind service, and excellent food. Their biscuits and gravy in particular I would hold up against my own mother's (sorry mom).

Hands down the best cafe in town. Everything is made from scratch and is so fresh. I always end up ordering several plates including a side of fruit because the meals are so delicious. Be prepared for a lunch rush around noon. We waited for over 30 minutes for our found and it was entirely worth it. The beignets are incredible - wear white so you don't show the powder sugar! I think about stopping in for something to go daily... But I probably go in about once every other week. I would go in more if I lived closer to downtown. Also it's an excellent place to go to before or after a visit to the library. Lightworks has lots of choices no matter your dietary requirements. Yum!

Holy moly. Been in Cedar for 1 month now and we have found one of the best places here. Clean crisp and bags of flavour. I had the breakfast sandwich with sausage, with their homemade chili sauce. Oh and a pork taco on corn. It was fantastic. Will be back. Love it.

Great chill cafe with a wide range of food and drink options, and plenty of choice for vegetarians/vegans. Downtempo music, friendly staff, quick service and great food. My wife had the vegetable hash, I opted for the biscuits and sausage gravy, and yogurt and house granola. Everything was delicious in their own unique ways. The chai tea had a good cinnamon spice to it too. The unisex bathroom had a large changing table a big plus for our baby. Only downside I saw was a lack of a bike rack.

Fantastic beignets and good coffee. Wonderful atmosphere and good service. The only thing that would help, would be if they have a darker roast of coffee. It really is light. Good coffee is hard to find. I actually have a espresso machine at home, so I know what it should taste like.

Fantastic food. Burgers were great and even the kid's grilled cheese was delicious. Best beignets I've ever had. Really cute outdoor seating area. Nice staff. So glad we decided to look for something better than fast food on our way through town.
