Café was cute, the chef was excellent! Lattes did leave a little to be desired (we tried the cinnamon bun and butterscotch blondie) – but would definitely return for breakfast or brunch anytime!

Absolutely wonderful experience! Staff was very courteous and even let me in early as I was traveling. Had an amazing breakfast, which was the Hillsborough maple chicken sandwich. Absolutely delicious. Highly recommended. Can’t wait to visit again.

Very cute little cafe with a very big menu! There was no one dining in when we went for breakfast one morning so the service was super fast. The food was pretty good, kind of basic. I did like that my fruit cup was bananas and strawberries. Most restaurants are all the same with a fruit up of grapes and melons. I wish the breakfast sandwich was a little bigger and the waffle had a bit more flavor. We will still go back to try other things on the menu.
