This was my father's favorite breakfast place for over a decade. I'm gonna say the best nutella, pancakes, i've ever had. I had the french toast and my kid had the mickey mouse pancakes. I like French toast the way they make it because it wasn't overly cooked all the way, with a soft center. Yum!

I would definitely recommend this place! The service was lovely, everyone was very friendly. The atmosphere was very homely and pleasant. I had the All American Breakfast and a Mexican Mocha; both were delicious! I would definitely visit this place again!
