Customers have praised the service as kind and quick, especially noting the friendly and attentive waitstaff. Many have found a new favorite breakfast spot in Vancouver after their visits. The restaurant is known for its impressive service and great food, including perfectly browned hashbrowns and large portions that are suitable for sharing. The space provides a classic diner vibe, making it a popular choice for breakfast.
