This place has been around forever! It is straight out of the movies small town diner. Seat your self and grab the menus from behind the salt shaker. Really good quality basic food. You're not going to find jazzed up dishes here. It is mostly traditional American breakfast options. Staff is friendly, and theres enough to look around at on the walls that you won't get bored during your short wait.

I absolutely fell in love with this cafe! I had the Wavelands best skillet and my partner had their AMAZING fluffy pancakes. The hash browns in mine were cooked to perfection. Our waitress, Haley, was incredibly polite and fun all while providing astute service. I only wish they had more seating within the cafe itself, but if it got too much busier it might ruin the vibe of this amazing cafe. Keep up the great work!!!
