“My husband and I tried this place for first time for a breakfast date. The ambience is very cozy, and the food and service are magnificent! We will be going again and will recommend this cute spot to others.“

“This is definitely a newer cafe for when I pulled up, it had that nice and fresh look and feel; even when I stepped inside. Folks were already tearing into their food and I was seated promptly. I was here for their Chili!! Grabbed mine with onions and cheese, a blend of hearty flavors and comforting warmth if you ask me. That first spoonful had the rich aroma of simmering spices dancing around my senses, inviting me to indulge in its savory depths. The chili itself boasts a robust base, with tender chunks of beef enveloped in a harmonious blend of tomatoes, beans and aromatic spices. Each bite had subtle hints of cumin, paprika and chili powder adding layers of complexity to this dish. The addition of onions lends a savory note, perfectly complementing the bold flavors of the chili. The texture adds a delightful contrast to this stew, allowing the sweetness to balance out the heat from the spice. The cheese that I had mixed in, each gooey spoonful melds with the rich broth, creating a velvety blanket of indulgence that coats the tongue in creamy goodness. Even my side snacks of the bacon, egg and cheese along with my kielbasa came through to only complement my Chili, providing their own great flavors to the point, I even dipped my kielbasa into the Chili and took the flavors alone on an emotional rollercoaster ride for me. IT WAS ALL AMAZING!!!“

“We were looking for a new unique breakfast place during the week and found zinneken's. The music was very loud when walking in- perhaps to cover up the sounds of nearby construction noise. We were surprised that only bottled water was available instead of tap, but not a dealbreaker. The savory poached egg waffle was very nicely served and tasty. We didn't find the seating to be especially comfortable or spacious. The food was great, but overpriced as if it were a more inviting, nicer quality place.“

“This is an absolutely fantastic little hole in the wall local eatery. It has tons of seating and parking so it's really worth your time to check it out! The menu is huge, with lots of unique fun things like PB&J pancakes and bacon, egg, & cheese on french toast, which I ordered! The food was excellent, especially the home fries. And the service was quick and efficient. I really do recommend a visit if you're in the area.“

“In the area for business, avoiding big chain coffee shops, stopped into Bob's for a coffee and guess what happened......the nice man getting my coffee says no charge. Who does that? Bob's coffee shop, THAT'S WHO. Thanks.“

“Stopped here randomly after my daughters dental appointment. We had an everything bagel with chive and onion cream cheese as well as a cinnamon roll. The bagel was the softest best bagel I have ever had. The cream cheese was perfect. The cinnamon roll was as bug as by 11 year Olds head. Will be returning when we are in the area!“

“if you like biscuits and gravy then you will LOVE it at Rise and Shine. I used to live down south and its not even close. Even in New Orleans I could not find a place that even comes close to how good Rise and Shine does the biscuits and gravy. They also have an amazing Irish Benedict. Actually everyone I have brought there has loved whatever they get. Some of the lunch/breakfast specials are very different and delicious.“
