Customer Reviews
A very nice breakfast place in town. Definitely there is going to be a wait time during the weekend. They have all-American breakfast you can order. The price is on the higher side. Their food tastes very good! The staff here are very friendly and helpful.The atmosphere is very classic and homie.
This place is a step above other restaurants. I don't know how they do it but the synergy in the staff is next level, everyone was smiling, friendly and looked to be truly enjoying their time working a very busy morning! The process getting in (JOIN THE WAITLIST ONLINE) was fun too with the hostess staging us and several other groups, it felt very streamlined. The food was also bonkers amazing. They have a bidet in the restroom as well.
Pancakes were so good, soft and literally melt in your mouth! The line was kinda long on a Sunday morning, but the staff were super quick, helpful, and friendly. This place is also kid-friendly (my kid got a free coloring set while waiting for the food!). Free drink refills if you order one. Cozy spot for a chill brunch!
This place is insanely good! The oven-baked apple pancake was on another level. I actually used it as the syrup and sweet topping for my regular pancake, and it worked perfectly. It was sweet, but not in an overwhelming way—still definitely on the sweeter side, though. The apples were fresh and served piping hot, so hot that you almost have to let it cool down and eat something else first. Honestly, it felt like eating one of the best apple pies I’ve ever had. I also tried the scrambled meat lover’s plate, which was really good as well—hearty and satisfying. Bonus points: the bathroom! Super clean and well-kept, which I really appreciated. Shoutout to both the staff for maintaining it and the customers for respecting the space.
My mom and I went here for the first time, and we both really liked it! I got the Swedish Pancakes (which were amazing), and she got the Meat Lovers Omelette with Buttermilk Hot Cakes. The coffee was good and the service was too. Prices were a little high, but not crazy. I'd definitely recommend!
