Don't miss out on this small cafe! The food is fantastic and the staff is attentive. We had the Gyro and Reuben. Both were exceptional! The Reuben must have had 1 lb of meat. Very filling. I'll definitely go back when I'm in the neighborhood.

Awesome little Cafe. Very friendly. Owner is a spry spunky senior. The cook made everything just as I requested (crispy bacon, well done hashbrowns, thick toast perfectly toasted). It was incredible how fast my order came out. I would definitely highly recommend this friendly cafe.

I didn't even know this place was here & I'm so glad to finally discover it! It's cozy, the service was very friendly, and the breakfast was really tasty. Best sausage gravy I've ever had, anywhere, hands down. My friend also loved her Butter Rum French Toast. I highly recommend & will definitely be back!

Portions are large and prices are reasonable but the space is tiny and cramped, staff couldn’t keep up. We had a larger group of 9 and our order came out at different times over a span of 15-20 minutes. We ordered two of the kids pancakes and our kids split and finished eating the first before the second ever came out. Shouldn’t tout the pancakes if you can’t make more than one at a time. Not bad if you got the time but probably won’t be back

Even though the cafe is under new owners, they still serve the same menu. The butter rum french toast is still as goodas before. They were willing to break out the french toast for my wife and give me the rest of the breakfast of eggs, bacon and hash browns. Toast and coffee extra. Hrs are 8-2 with breakfast served all day. Great lunch menu. Still a great place to go for breakfast.

Honest but sad feedback. **food very good, service very bad and atmosphere is crowded. Doubtful we'd go back. Great service makes up for mediocre food. Great food cannot make up for poor service** Food: french toast (wife) mac n cheese (me) Story: My wife, son (13months) an I came with such excitement. This place has had great feedback online. The food was great, I want to start with that. The wait to be helped once we got in the door was pretty slow. There were two waitresses and one cook. The building is small so seating was tight. We were seated at a two person table with a highchair for our child. He is a year old so a little grabby for things on the table. Our waitress was younger and pregnant, the other was an elderly lady. It took a bit to get an order in, then when food came out it was my wife's first and mine followed about 10+ minutes later. It took at least 40 minutes to get the food. There was no silverware on the table. I had to go ask for it, our waitress wasnt very aware and maybe had "baby brain." Often standing in the walk way waiting for the cook to produce food. We could over look it no big deal. When my food came out my wife was finished with her food and tried to hand her plate to the waitress, but was ignored/refused. Was a weird interaction, almost as a no thank you to returning the plate. My wife had a side order (toast) that arrived about 7 minutes after I got my food and about 15 minutes after she got her plate. I told the waitress that I need to know how much our breakfast is because my little guy is starting to get cranky. We've been here nearly an hour at this point. She states, "her plate is 11 and I dont know how much yours is" and walked away. I stacked our cups and plates neatly to help the staff, we sat and waited and no waitress noticed or check came. I put my coat on and stood up, when asked if I was ready to pay I stated yes and was asked where my check was. I stated I had yet to get it. She, the elderly lady, stopped what she was doing to help me. Not the best experience. Food was good. The waitress seemd out of it, maybe just tired or something. Other tables had orders that were not correct or didnt get things. Easy to overhear in that building.

I stopped by here when I had some extra time between errands. I was pleasantly surprised by this place. The people and the staff all had that friendly, small-town feel. It's a very welcoming place. The chef (who I believe is the owner), came out to greet us and check on our food. The place was clean and the service was fine. The portions were large. My only complaint is that the iced tea tasted thin.
