I got the Holy Cow and let me tell you, it was amazing, I also added side of home fries and that also was perfectly seasoned…

I love this cafe. It’s a quaint spot with delicious food for breakfast and lunch. Their fresh muffins are a nice treat and big enough to share.

Food was pretty gross. The service was pretty crappy for the 6 customers they had… and the spot just looked old and dirty…

It’s with a heavy heart that I write this review. Four of us met here, we were seated and given menus and our drink orders were taken. After a few minutes of sitting, I noticed two African American females sitting at the table adjacent to us. I noticed they were very quiet and the older of the two females leans over and asks us “did she (referring to the server) take your orders” we replied “she took our drink orders” Something wasn’t sitting right with me and I asked her “why? How long have you been waiting!” She gestures with the palm of her hand and softly says “never mind it’s fine.” She turns to the young lady that she was with and says “let’s go.” The two got up and left. My heart sank and I felt so sad.

My party and I collectively decided to leave. Just as we stood to leave, the server came over to take our orders and I told her that we were going to leave and that we would pay for our drinks. She said “ok”…, but before we left, I went to the counter and told both servers that the reason we were leaving was because of the way they treated the two African American women. The excuses that they gave me are so unacceptable and just pathetic. “It’s just us two serving” “we’re really busy” “we didn’t want to take too many orders at once” WHAT?!?! They claimed that the women had been acknowledged…, but I assure you that the only acknowledgement they received was getting the menus and the utensils. I wasn’t satisfied because I didn’t say all that I wanted to say so I called after I left and asked to speak to the manager or owner and the woman who answered the phone says “I can help you” turns out that it was the server that took care of us when we first got there, Riley, which also happens to be the grand daughter of the owner. I expressed to her that their behavior was really unacceptable and that as a minority myself, I took it very personally. She said “it wasn’t a racial thing” I explained to her that that’s the vibe that their behavior gave off.

So I have to say that between the two servers, Riley, was super rude and had a very snide, almost evil look on her face. The other server looked mortified and was seemingly upset that this happened. I really hope that Riley’s grandmother doesn’t align with this type of treatment and if she does, shame on all of them.

My final thoughts? Don’t go here if you’re brown and if you don’t want to be treated rudely. It’s a shame that they’re like this, because we went here because we had been there once because the food was really good.., but as for me and my party, we will NEVER be going back here. RILEY, YOU NEED TO DO AND BE BETTER.

Stopped by, but they were closing early. The place was packed. The coffee was definitely not worth the price. I would think a place with the name center perk would try to have good coffee at least.

Usually we are always able to be seated right away but on veterans Day morning, the place was full. One party was waiting for a table ahead of me and waitress said it would be 10-15 min before a table opened up and she was spot on accurate. As always, was a delightful dining experience, very quick service despite the crowd. Come and enjoy life or a meal here.

Came for a quick brunch before a seminar, and once the wait for a seat was over, service was good, food decent, and atmosphere was enjoyable. The place attracts a crowd, so I'd budget time for at least a small wait to get a table to free up.
