Dietary restrictions: My friend is vegan and she was able to get food she could eat that was delicious. Delicious pizza and ceaser salad that was awesome. I'm lactose intolerant and got the same thing minus cheese. Loved it! Staff is really sweet and helpful. Wish I could take this charming place home with me

Totally support locally owned businesses and was excited to try this place! Had lunch there for the first time today and this was my experience. First the pros: large parking lot, outdoor seating (very loud with the road right there, but outdoor seating nonetheless) and very cute on the inside. Unfortunately that’s where the pros stop. While atmosphere is important to me, when I go to a restaurant my main goal is to have a nice meal at a reasonable price. I found most items on the menu pricey (salads & sandwiches come in at about $18+ which seems a little higher than usual). I can only speak for what I ordered which was the chicken blue cheese panini. I thought at $18 a pop it seemed a little overpriced, but I hoped to be pleasantly surprised. ‘’Twas not the case. Placed on the table in front of me was a plate with a cute sheet of wax paper and the smallest panini I have ever seen. It was on sliced sourdough (and not the large slices of sourdough) with very little chicken and melted blue cheese. That’s it. No pickle spear, no ice cream scoop of potato salad, no cookie, not even a parsley sprig. Couldn’t have been more bare bones. Now, I will say the panini tasted good (how can you go wrong with chicken and melted blue cheese?) but I just could not get past the amount of food for the price they change. I encourage you to visit and draw your own conclusion, and ultimately my hope is the cafe thrives, however from my experience today that might require the owners to at least consider adding a small side to their sandwich’s or lowering their prices…substantially.

We picked up pizzas from here on a Friday afternoon. I ordered the Spicy Grant. It was so so good. I finished the whole thing and had zero regrets. Best pizza I'd had in a long time. Will definitely be back Other pizzas we ordered were made gluten free and they were also great.

Awesome little place but nobody knows that it is a restaurant/coffee shop/pizzeria. It looks like a gift shop or other retail. They need way, way better signage.

Amazing good, awesome service, lovely atmosphere. They just need better signage outside of the restaurant. The sign "eatery" is cute and creative, but I drove by it for months before realizing it was a restaurant. The need a big sign that effectively screams, " Hello, this is a place to eat and we have the best food in town!" Sell it! See sign suggestions below.

I went here about noon and the place was totally empty. The only other human in there was one person working the counter and running the kitchen. I was surprised it was so empty at noon. I think it must have just been the location. Anyway, I got a wrap and it was a bit expensive, but it was huge and full of good ingredients that felt like it was prepared with care. It was good. It's a neat little shop in a fun location.

This place is great. Quality handmade unique pizzas, salads, desserts and wraps- not cheap fast pizza! Yes real food costs a little bit more. I always prefer to pay a fair amount for fresh homemade food made with fresh quality ingredients. The pizza was wonderful with perfect crust. The salads are huge and made with generous toppings. My only complaint is the dressing is bland -need to add salt and pepper- wish they would offer a better vinaigrette. Small privately owned places that make their food with quality and care should be supported by our community. We will be back.

The sweetest owner and friendliest staff. Quaint lunch spot. Huge parking lot and lovely indoor seating with lovely decor. We sat on the front patio. Homemade pizza crust is phenomenal. The caboose pizza was delicious with all the fixings, comes with a generous side salad.Tried out the carrot cake and it was so tasty! Everything is made from scratch. Will definitely be back!

I have had my eye on this place to check out for a few weeks now and today was the perfect day. This place is absolutely cute and authentically wholesome.It has been thoughtfully renovated by the owner with so many options for seating, both inside and out. It seems everything from the pizza dough to the sauces are fresh house made. But wait! There are also unique train cars (big and small) for little ones and older ones to have fun checking out. I came today for a pizza and plan to go back tomorrow for the cinnamon roll and a breakfast pizza.

Excellent food and service. The Margherita Pizza was perfectly baked...crispy homemade dough, soft in the middle; toppings were excellent. Not a traditional Margherita per se, but I think they improved it. The pesto crust as an example. The side salad is chopped well and the dressing isn't too strong. We had a piece of carrot cake that was really good. No drinks other than bottles and cans of selected tea and soda. Prices seem a smidge high.

I had driven past this location numerous times but happened to always miss them. I was either too early or too late. I was fortunate to catch them yesterday, I placed my order over the phone. The woman was very kind and informative. I ordered the margherita pizza which came with a side salad and I also picked up carrot cake for desert. Upon arriving, the location is awesome, the trains give it an awesome rustic touch and the inside of the building is beautifully designed. I love all the rustic farm house aesthetics and plenty of seating. I love that they also have outdoor seating. The pizza: amazing! So delicious and savory! I loved the juicy tomatoes. The dough was cooked to perfect (not too crispy) and it was just packed with flavor. Side Salad: perfection, I am fairly picky with dressings. I hate tart, sour or thick dressings. I was a bit nervous to taste it and when I did... I wanted to go back and ask for a bottle! It was so delicious! The perfect amount and covered the entire little salad perfectly! All the flavors combined and created an orchestra for my taste buds! Haha!Carrot cake: this one really threw me a curve ball. At first I wasn't going to purchase it because I'm not a fan of icing, and these slabs seemed to be pretty caked with the icing. I was in awe, the icing was not super sweet as most icing tends to be and the cake was just delightful and sealed my lunch very nicely. My only complaint: they aren't open 24/7

Great pizzas, service and atmosphere. The staff and chef are as welcoming as the clean eclectic decor that makes it feel like home.

I saw this place on my way to have my oil changed. Stopped in to try them for lunch. Nice little place, great service. I tried their Chicken Caesar Salad. It was great! I'll have to try the pizza next time! Looks delicious! They have seating outside also. They were playing some great music.I'll be back!
