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.

I had the bacon, egg and cheese on a croissant.
Everything was cooked to perfection. The bacon was very tasty and uh, crispy but chewy. Not a super large sandwich, but enough to fill you up.
I also ordered a side of fried green tomatoes. Nice size portion, every tomato was fried to perfection. No burn spots anywhere cooked perfectly seasoned, just right, plenty of flavor but not overpowering.
I highly recommend trying this place out. If you're in...
