Say Cheese, say yum! As a gluten free girlie, I can’t usually enjoy grilled cheese but that was an option here and I was thrilled. I got the Dipper and it was the perfect amount of soup and sammie for a Saturday afternoon. The lemonade was also refreshing. Inside the vibes are quaint and there’s a few different seating areas so people aren’t all plopped in one spot. If I lived here, I’d be back.

Eggs Benedict and the Turkish coffee were excellent. The seasoning in the sauce for the eggs and the poaching done perfectly! The service was good and so was the ambience. The rest of the orders were very average - the “better” bagel with packaged cream, not sure what was better about it; the omelette was ok; the cream cheese stuffed French toast with packaged syrup - the flavor of the French toast - a bit too eggy, the cooked strawberries- nothing fresh about it and the cream

I bring my son here occasionally because … grilled cheese! He is a very picky eater, but he loves this grilled cheese sandwich. I usually get the tomato soup which I really enjoy (it’s light and well spiced). We also love the quiet atmosphere — you can actually sit and have a conversation with the person sitting next to you! That’s hard to find.
