Second visit here with my lady, and somehow we ended up sitting in the same spot as our first visit. The food was just as delicious as we remembered: fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. Again, the tea was perfect - smooth, perfectly steeped, and completed the meal. It is an awesome place to unwind after a morning hike, as it has a calm and inviting atmosphere. You will find the staff to be very courteous without being intrusive. It’s got that small-town comfort with outstanding food. Definitely one of those spots that gets better every time you go.

What a fantastic gem of a restaurant. The cute decor and homey feel was perfect. We arrived on a Saturday at 10:30am and it was packed, yet we only waited 7 min. The waiter was very personable. The Chocolate Chaud tastes like a melted fudge bar. We had the potato leek soup, le burger with pork belly, crepes(arrived cold) and berries and duck potatoes(omg melt in your mouth). I LOVE duck and it is very hard to find. Everything was phenomenal. So why only 4 stars? My one complaint. I got crepes and added strawberries. I expected to pay the $2. for berries. But they charged me an extra $1.85 for syrup! Not real Vermont syrup, but bottled syrup. There was maybe 2 tablespoons of syrup in the small metal container I was given. I'm a chef at a breakfast restaurant. Syrup is a condiment. They don

Our first visit, our daughter loves it here and brought us for a birthday brunch. We arrived around 10:15 and had a table for 3 in 10-15 min. even though they estimated a 30 min wait so that was great. The food was great, made my own omelette. Except their bacon is pork belly, which I’m It a fan but my husband got it and said it was good. I got the sausage patties, they were delicious! Their home potatoes are red with grilled veggies, perfect. My only minuses were no milk alternatives, and the food was like warm when arrived. The place was busy and the service was good. Can get loud and a few bumps to your chair but didn’t really matter, it’s a lovely place. The bakery and coffee scents add to the ambiance. Recommend and we’ll be back when visiting the area.

Shockingly good. I had poached eggs on sweet potato mash with homemade grave lox and a cappuccino. My spouse had a double-decker french toast with cream cheese in between and the most delicious hot chocolate we had in a decade. The homemade lox was a dream; I think the best I had in my life - and I am from NYC, a place that prides itself for its lox. The hot chocolate was almost too rich/thick, but perfectly balanced in its mild sweetness. Who would have thought to find a place like this in Northborough!

Went to this place for the first time yesterday and went back with my wife today to try more of the menu. It's really a great spot. The food is clearly a point of pride here and you can tell they really care about every aspect of a dish. The atmosphere is kind of stealing the show though. It's in an old 1830sish farmhouse, wood floors, original brick with a bright airy feel. The "dining room" is basically the old living/dining/bedrooms with unique chairs and tables. Outside seating(where we sat)is on an elevated deck next to the garden and feels very relaxing. Our server(Sarah I believe) was very pleasant, attentive, and accurate. The coffee is great. The crepes are some of the most authentic I've had inside the united states. They have both sweet and savory which is a bit unusual here as
