What a wonderful treat to your pallet! That’s all what I can say after I had my delicious brunch. I had the chicken benny and it was amazing. I’d definitely recommend this place to everyone. The staff were very friendly too.

This is one of the worst places I've been to for hash browns—they simply can't seem to cook a potato properly. Today, I went in and politely asked if they could make sure the potatoes were fully cooked, even saying I was happy to wait. When the owner brought out my food, the hash browns were still undercooked. I asked her if she could cook them a bit more, and she agreed.

While waiting, I started eating my eggs Benedict, which is usually decent—until I found a hair in it. When I pointed it out to the owner, she claimed it must have come from the chicken, which was clearly an excuse, especially considering none of the staff, including her, were wearing hairnets.

I left the restaurant frustrated, but returned shortly after because I had forgotten something. When I walked back in, I overheard the owner and another customer who had witnessed the earlier exchange laughing and making disrespectful remarks about me.

Overall, the experience was extremely disappointing—both in terms of food quality and customer service. I won’t be returning.

Sorry should be a 5* all around. 40 minutes to get a waffles combo when too many people after us got their meal first. Quirky little café super popular, excellent food. But for some reason we got overlooked and when I went to ask what happened no one would barely acknowledge me. All it would have taken is sorry... We moved into the community and would be regulars but no won't go back.

My partner and I both ordered a hash - veggie and regular. We were both very disappointed. The hollandaise sauce plus the scrambled egg tasted like hot egg salad. Neither of us could finish our meal as it was too rich and off-putting. We should have asked for the sauce on the side.

small spot, friendly staff

Highly recommend this place. We were there for breakfast. We got the huevos rancheros with spicy chorizo patties and Mediterranean eggs Benny. The chorizo patties were extra $ but definitely worth it. Their hollandaise sauce was a little different than the traditional hollandaise, but absolutely delicious if you’re eating with an open mind. Coffee was also spot on! Other awesome perks, outdoor seating is available that is dog friendly and had a water bowl for the dogs.

The food was excellent, and the servers were very kind. Great atmosphere and amazing service! I highly recommend this restaurant.

Great food and service being a strong contender with the other popular break/lunch places in vic. 1 limitation is the venue being a little small but they have an outdoor patio for the warm months and its just charming. Would recommend

First and last time we go here for breakfast. We both ordered eggs benny, the eggs were ok but the English muffins were stale, extremely hard to cut. The hash browns were burnt to a crisp. I’m just sorry I didn’t say anything at the time. The coffee was terrible. Run by one guy and two sleezy looking young fellows cooking. We should have turned and walked away as soon as we went inside.
It looks nice from the outside looking in but looks can be deceiving. $50.00 for the most awful, terrible breakfast we’ve ever had. We were extremely disappointed.

I have frequently go to this restaurant for 8 years now to treat myself. It is one of my close by breakfast spots. My favorite item on the menu is the Huevos Rancheros without the bacon. I have always had a good experience.
During the pandemic I went to try and order food and the owner had given me free eggs due to temporary closure.

I don't eat pork and they accommodated my order every time

Make sure you are hungry as the Huevos Rancheros is very filling
