Great atmosphere and the service was amazing. The waitress was so helpful and nice. The coffee hazelnut cinnamon was to die for. The breakfast sandwich and hash browns were fantastic. Would definitely be going back and highly recommend.

Loaded with atmosphere and good food! We were a group of six cyclists on the last leg of our journey along the Erie Canal from Buffalo to Albany. We stopped in for brunch on a wet and surprisingly cold August morning. We were greeted with warm and friendly service, and hot cocoa and coffee to warm our bodies and souls. I also ordered a hot bowl of chicken Florentine soup - which took the chill right out of me - and a Bluffin' with my Muffin sandwich (which doesn't actually contain a muffin). The food was really good, and we had so much fun looking at all of the eclectic decorations.

Delicious and fun. This place has been on my radar all year. Finally got to eat there today. Delicious. Order the square with bacon and it was perfect. Eggs cooked perfectly, potatoes, cooked and seasoned to perfection, just amazing, and the bacon was crisp and tasty. I would definitely recommend getting one of their flavored mimosas, I got plain and wished I would have flavored it, they have a whole bar's worth of flavors. Took home a boozy Muffin Kahlua and coffee flavor, and a brie bacon and egg sandwich. I am so happy I got to try this place before my next adventure. As a foodie and a traveler. The staff was super attentive. Apologies, for a wait that was not even a wait. Very nice staff. A++++++. Don't skip this place, and don't forget to grab a book at the boom shop down the strip an

On our visit to Union College we stopped in at this gorgeous eclectic eatery and had a fabulous breakfast. Love everything about this place…the food, the ambiance and the service! A must go if you are in the area!

Enjoyed this amazing restaurant on Jay Street! The food was amazing and only second to the delicious coffee martinis. Staff was warm and welcoming. The desserts were delicious and I left so full. Cozy, comfy atmosphere. Absolutely will return. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
