Service and food were excellent! It was my first time. Started with the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had. I ended up taking home a bag and they ground it for me right there! I tried the banana foster French toast and biscuits and gravy. The banana foster was amazing and unique. The biscuits and gravy were very tasty and the flaky toasted biscuits were superb. Medium fried egg was cooked perfectly. Service was top notch and quick even on a busy Sunday. Everyone needs to support this family owned business with great food and great atmosphere!

THE BEST BISCUITS AND GRAVY I HAVE EVER HAD!!! The biscuit was nice a flaky with the gravy being so savory and delicious.

I don’t like coffee but I tried a sip of my girlfriend’s cup and while I didn’t like to, I can recognize it tasted better than every other coffee I have ever tried.

The banana foster French toast is so good. The banana nut bread is so soft a sweet. I would say that the menu said topped with bananas but there was only like three bananas and a ton of caramelized apples so next time I would hope for more bananas and less apple but I don’t feel like that is a big enough problem to dock any stars off of.

Service was very slow. Atmosphere was very nice with music playing in the background that felt like a live jazz band was here. Food was average. Prices were high for breakfast food.

Ari is an exceptional server, and is a very sweet and pleasant person. I wish that I could rate her more than 5 stars.

Ordered the "southern" style sausage and gravy. It's orange and has a funny taste to it. Sausage gravy is white not orange. And they give you these big plate with 3 little burnt biscuits with a little what ever you want to call it on time then on the other side of the plate is hashbrowns. They were ok. But for $15.00 for the small amount of food and $4.00 for a glass of milk i could of brought my own gallon with me. Don't know what brings in the crowd but definitely will not be going back. Waitress was nice but didn't know they had an upcharge on there handheld ordering device for eggs. We even confirmed it with her from the paper hanging when you wlak in. But she came back to advise it after order was taken if eggs were still wanted. This will be a hard no on going back again. Especially how expensive and limited the menu is not including the egg upcharge

Delicious food and lots of options. Great coffee too. About 5-10 wait on a Sunday late morning. Not too bad.

Our group of 8 had a really great experience here. Food was super fresh and yummy, restaurant was very clean (including the bathrooms!), and our waitress, Xochitl, was so friendly and very knowledgeable of the menu and allergens. We have milk, cinnamon, and gluten allergies in our group.

The food is good but the service was disappointing. The waitress had no patience and gave us a bad answer at the end of the meal. We were trying to settle the bill and we gave it to her but there was a dollar missing, so she told us: “Even if it's for They have to pay the bill.” Referring to the fact that we didn't leave him a tip and we barely adjusted the bill…it was 55 dollars
