Been wanting to try this place! The French Toast was awesome, the rest was typical breakfast fare. Everything was well-prepared. Staff was polite and friendly! They have a nice vegan menu if you're so inclined.

I love this place. It has super friendly service, and the food is really great. Plus, it's attached to this really cool antique shop that is a must-do! It has so many cool objects in it. I highly recommend this cute little gem find.

Food was DELICIOUS, i ordered from the vegan menu and it did not disappoint at all. My partner order the fried chicken and gravy and they really enioyed it. We stopped by for breakfast during our roadtrip through iowa and will definitely come back if we are ever in town.
