I placed an order online the night before so I could pick it up on the way to the train. Should've been ready at 8:30am, I arrived at 8:40am, my order wasn't there and they said it was never received. I have a receipt. Unfortunately I didn't have time to sit and wait for them to make my drink so I can't speak to the quality of their coffee.

Reliably clean, friendly, fresh and fruitful. Suburban oasis for a chill book read and people watching. They nailed it.

If bland had a Michelin star, this place would be dining with the gods. I ordered the bagel and lox hoping for a New York moment—what I got was a bagel as dry as a dissertation and lox so flavorless I had to check if it was actually salmon or just thinly sliced disappointment.

The breakfast sandwich? A true culinary vanishing act. Every bite was a search-and-rescue mission for taste. I kept chewing, waiting for something—anything—to show up. Nothing did.

Lovely staff, cute décor, but if you’re coming here to awaken your taste buds, bring a defibrillator.

I get my work done at Hometown nearly every day, and I just have to give a shoutout to Corey! He is the nicest guy, always going above and beyond to make sure everything is right. No matter what, he makes sure every detail is taken care of and his customer service is unmatched. Best service, atmosphere, and food! Great spot.

The breakfast was excellent. However, my latte was too milky even after an extra shot of espresso. Overall, i recommend this place to grab a quick breakfast or brunch. Good food selection and friendly pleasant staff.

Lattes are good. Otherwise food is very average. Unless you’re planning on going in when they first open up, they are overly crowded with customers rushing for chairs. Not worth the uncomfortable surroundings.
