This is an old school Greek family diner with new food on trend with the vegan community. My husband and I went on a random Tuesday after meeting with a landscaper. We drove past at least four other breakfast/lunch joints to try this place and I'm glad we did! We got a friendly welcome and were seated right away. There were a couple tables empty and the traffic was picking up. We perused the menu as well as the one page flyer with specials. The menu had the usual breakfast and lunch items but they also had real cocktails! I believe the specials menu was all vegetarian and vegan. I ordered the lion's mane mushroom "crab" cake sandwich and my husband chose a grown up grilled cheese. I had iced tea and hubs had coffee. All good so far. The food arrived and it was pretty darn good and way more food than we could eats. Boxes were full at the end of the meal! My crab cake Sammie was good but it had a slightly bitter finish that might have been from the mushroom itself. Still good and tasty. My hubs sandwich (grownup grilled cheese on sourdough) was delicious. We both have old people tiny tummy syndrome so there was no way we could clean the plates, therefore full leftover boxes for home. It wasn't the cheapest dinner meal we've ever had but it was worth the price. I'd go back for sure. Go. Get the diner experience with a few bona fide veg options!

Service was great, waitress was really sweet and didn’t seem frustrated by us hanging out and talking for a while! They were very busy, all the food coming in and out of the kitchen looked great! Looking forward to going back to try more…

My husband and I found this café vía Google reviews when we were in town for a wedding earlier this year. We absolutely loved it, and ended up going for breakfast again the next day.I was just in the area again and couldn't resist stopping, and I was glad to find that the service was just as awesome as it was the last two times we were there, the food was just as delicious, and the atmosphere was just as welcoming. I can't recommend this place enough, and can't wait until the next time I go to or through Crystal Lake, just so I can stop again.
