Berries and mascarpone pancakes 🤩 My favorite breakfast spot!!! The owner, family, and staff are the very best!!!! They’ve been treating me so well for years. I love coming early to enjoy a nice sunrise breakfast on the patio. Since it’s my birthday month, I dropped the car off for an oil change the other day and walked over for an amazing breakfast with warm, family-friendly service! 🌞☕️

Super cute inside, the breakfast is fantastic and for a good price! Staff/owner are all very nice and accommodating. Anytime I get my breakfast from here it is made to perfection, I can’t wait to try more things from their menu

★★★☆☆ 3.0 David Willey · Jan 2026

Sunday breakfast. Busy little place. Service was quick. Food average. I wanted an omelette but even though it’s on the menu what they serve is NOT an omelette. To all the restaurants that serve omelettes with ingredients mixed in the egg, THAT is NOT an omelette. It’s scrambled eggs, frittata or what ever else u want to call it but it is not an omelette. Being that I did not get 1. I chose the 2 egg breakfast sandwich with ham/cheese and wanted a side of home fries. The waitress turned that into their special which is same thing but $1 more. Strange. Anyway it was dry as hell. My mistake for not asking eggs over easy. Friends had French toast and Irish eggs Benedict. U have the option of homemade hash or regular. What? I would go again just disappointed about the omele

Not sure how I just found out about this place after all these years.Their lump crab benny is one of the best I ever had, something I usually won’t get unless I’m visiting somewhere near the coast. Their crab meat tasted so fresh with just the right amount not overly rich hollandaise sauce. Only thing I’m not a fan of is no refill on iced coffee which is pretty much just ice with the hot coffee they refill for everyone but overall not a deal breaker.

As a gluten free girl, I felt SO taken care of! The chef came to the table to discuss food prep and what was safe to eat, even grilled such yummy GF bread separate from everything so I could eat it! Very knowledgeable about it gluten free!
