Hands down, the best pancakes in town. The Smoked Brisket Benedict is something to be reckoned with! Friendly staff, great place to gather for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Highly recommend!
I stop for breakfast with friends nearly every Sunday morning. The eggs are 2 for 1, but small. The good part about that is plenty of yoke without all the white. I love it. The staff are all wonderful. The owner works right along side her staff and runs a tight ship. Great place to enjoy a breakfast or lunch.

Great local spot for breakfast and more. There's an area in the back for big parties, which was perfect for our group of 14. We were split with 2 different servers, which helped to facilitate the taking of orders and ensure prompt service. Everyone was greeted as we filtered in and drinks were on the table within minutes of sitting.
The servers kept a close eye on us and as soon as everyone had sat and we looked ready to order, we were asked if we had any questions. They were super patient and helpful for some people who had lots of questions.
It only took about 15 minutes for our food to come out, which actually surprised me considering how big our group was and the fact that there was another big group seated near us AND the restaurant was fairly busy. And yum! My partner and I both got lunch options--he had a Pacific chicken sandwich which was sort of a Hawaiian ham and chicken sandwich--big chunks of pineapple and a healthy amount of cheese all served on a pretzel bun! He loved it. I had a Dark Hose which was a cheesy brisket and horseradish sandwich served on dark rye. Personally I could've used a tiny bit more horseradish but that's a divisive opinion since it's such a strong flavour. Both dishes were served with fries. Among the many breakfast items our friends and family got, the frittata looked fantastic, and the standout was the Chunky Monkey French toast, stuffed with peanut butter and covered in bananas and chocolate syrup. It didn't really look like a breakfast food at all, but it looked great nonetheless.
The servers did a great job of keeping our coffees and waters topped off and overall it was a great opportunity for us all to catch up. We did later realize that both of our sandwiches were supposed to be served with soup in addition to fries, but that's only a minor annoyance since we left full and with leftovers. Would definitely return in the future.
Amberly was awesome and so was Cafe Meli. Food was incredible and portions were excellent. Service was sensational and our waitress, Amberly was so sweet and tentative to my daughter and I on our daddy daughter day. Going back Saturday.
The food was really good. It took a little while to get the food but it’s a large restaurant and was very busy. The pancakes were a little undercooked but the server was fantastic. Would definitely go back.
UPDATE---- Back again. Well couldn't resist I had the White Forest omelet again. So good. Hubby had same thing but with biscuit and gravy. Gravy is good but biscuit was not the best. Hope to be back again soon. Added photos this time!
The best omelet I have ever eaten "White Forest" was unbelievable. Made of egg whites, roasted mushrooms, spinach, butternut squash, white cheddar and topped with fried sage leaves. I was a little apprehensive at first then I tasted it! Hashbrowns were cooked perfectly.
My hubby had eggs and ham. Remember 2 eggs is actually 4 because they are double yolks. I gave him my pancakes that came with my omelet and he said pancakes are fantastic.
Service was excellent. The hostess was a little ho hum and not very outgoing. So we were a little concerned when seated. But it was fabulous and we will be back.
I want to comeback and try other things but I am afraid I will order the White Forest omelet again and never try anything else. LOL
Their banana bread is phenomenal! Especially if you order the chunky monkey and substitute the bread for their banana bread and substitute their chocolate syrup for chocolate chips... you won't regret it!!!! And it will definitely fill you up :) And their potato pancakes are delicious!
Kenzie was a wonderful waitress on the Saturday morning I wandered in for breakfast. The avocado omelette and grits were delicious. The coffee was phenomenal! Would definitely dine there again when I am back in town.
Absolutely Amazing Food and Atmosphere.
Enjoyed breakfast and can't wait to take the family back soon!!! 🥞
The wait was a little longer than anticipated, (Sunday, 1:00 p.m.) but it sure was well worth the wait. I got the white forest omelet and it was amazing! I asked to add avacado and broccoli and they added it. A lot of food for the price.
The restroom was clean and staff was friendly. The owner was very pleasant.
I would certainly recommend this restaurant.
Bananas Foster French Toast! With Ice Cream! Seriously the best thing I have had in a long time. The crapes my wife had looked just as good. You cannot possibly be disappointed. Service is top notch.
It’s been a while since I have eaten here. Extremely happy for asking questions, cause not only did I get my American Fries I also got cinnamon raisin bread with all the fixings. And my omelette has spinach’s, feta 🧀 (should have asked if they had Goat), and Gyro meat. Great job chief
