Any time I’m visiting my allergy doctor I stop in here for a quick bite. My food is always really satisfying and very good. The service is also always great, I enjoy their waitstaff! I like sitting up at the breakfast bar alone ,with my husband or friend. The restaurant is busy and has a fair amount of seating indoors and out with nice big windows. They typically have a specials board as well. I highly recommend my absolute ONLY issue with this place is that no one wears gloves preparing food. I’m sure hands are washed and clean but it’s a turn off and it’s why the 4 star. Other than that …. A great spot!

This is a great spot for breakfast or lunch. However, it is not visible from the road. You have to pull in the driveway & go around the back of the office bldg. I loved the atmosphere! The staff were very nice as well. The food was excellent. The only drawback was that the GF pancake was dry. Other than that, I'd definitely go back!

Amazing food! Very nice place, we are from Vermont and we can’t wait to come back. You can sit inside or outside, the decoration inside is very cool.

Small, clean diner. Waitstaff was friendly and attentive. Food was ok, got a House Benedict and iced coffee

Great spot for a decent breakfast! It's been quite a while since I've been here and it's exactly how I remembered. The interior is quaint, and I really liked the pictures of what the building used to be. It's cool when a place keeps the building's history in some way! Service was great and very sociable with their regulars. I had the egg and cheese on multi grain and it was VERY DELICIOUS. I'm not a huge breakfast sandwich person but I WILL be getting this again!
