This place was super cute. Very colorful. Stopped in w my mom after driving around all morning. Happened to find it by accident bc I went the wrong way off the exit but we were starving. They had art work by local artists for sale all over the walls. Of course my mother had to buy so of the art work!

This was our first visit to this location and let me tell you I had a blast. Their breakfast potatoes are phenomenal so I highly recommend them. Parking can get a little tight, but the atmosphere in this
place is so cute. There's a local artist that does the paintings that are for sale. They get all their bread from a bakery from St. Armands. So I do recommend if you're in the area and you want breakfast you need to stop in here
