Been there a few times. Always pretty busy, but nice still. You can have conversation with your party just fine. The food is so good. Delicious and Fresh. That's the best! Fresh! Never disappointed. Might be challenging finding a parking place, but so very worth it! Definitely Delicious food and very gracious staff. Just an overall great dining experience.

I got a pumpkin spice latte and seasonal Hawaiian french toast with the soup of the day. There was no wait when we got there very great menu very extensive love it! The staff is super nice the portions were big for me but that is normal. Will say though the parking situation is not the best however.

First of the place is PACKED so you know the food is good. The texture for the food is extremely well done and professional. They have a dine in timer of 90 mins (I assume for how much people wanna get in to sit and dine) so that alone can show how impressive the spot can be.

I really wanted to have a nice Homestyle breakfast with a friend of mine and suggested this Cafe they are known for their potatoes and boy did they not disappoint. We ordered mimosas with our meal that came out very quickly. I must say I really like the drinks here because they know how to pour. We both ordered the Tequila Sunrise Mimosa which was an excellent choice. Are order was taken by our server and our food came out shortly. I ordered the breakfast with turkey sausage eggs and potatoes. This dish also came with your choice of bread to which I had an English muffin. My friend ordered a vegetable omelette and added bacon to it. The size was incredible and there were definitely leftovers. Overall this is a highly recommended restaurant. In most cases there is a wait,however because we came later in the afternoon we were easy lease seated.

Had the chili verde burrito and it was absolutely packed with flavor. The skillet potatoes on the side were seasoned just right and brought everything together. I love little joints like this—no frills, just good food. The inside has a nice, quaint vibe that feels welcoming and laid-back. Definitely one of those hidden local spots that’s worth a visit.
