The young lady that waited on us was fabulous. I did run into a few issues food wise, but she corrected it immediately. The food did lack flavor. Coffee was great. Not sure if I'll give it another try.

I ordered doordash from this establishment a few times food is great but my review is more about an employee by the name of Mira not only did she remember me from previous experience she also have the best customer service one could ask for she is very professional

We stopped in because South Bend is halfway between our house and my parents.
It will now be a required stop on every future trips.
When we walked in it had the welcoming feel of a home town diner.
We split the Dutch apple pancake and the butcher's omelet.
The Dutch apple takes a bit to bake, but so worth it (no syrup required, even with my sweet tooth).
And I'm still trying to figure out how they got the omelet that light...
