The young lady at the counter taking the order seemed miserable. She came across as annoyed because you didn't order fast or fluid enough. It was NOT busy with two tables occupied. Maybe she was having a bad Tuesday or maybe she was forced to come in to work that morning b/c someone called out. I ordered the veggie omlette and a side of sausage (3 small links). This came with homes fries and choice of toast. I had no problem until my 3rd bite. While eating a bite of omlette I began to crunch something resembling a potatoe chip. I knew it was an egg shell . I put a napkin to my mouth and got rid of that bite. I then bit into a sausage link and it was the worst tasting (seemingly under-cooked) disgusting sausage - cheap quality! My next bite was the omlette, again with egg shell. So, I ate potatoes and one piece of toast. That said, there are many other restaurant establishments that I can support by spending my money.

Great relaxing cafe that you order at the front counter. Parking in back and was free spots available on the street. Lots of tables with old photo’s of Holyoke on the walls. I ordered the veggie omelette with a choice of cheeses. Was large and filled with onions, mushrooms, peppers, and lots of spinach. Came wirh potatoes and toast. Coffee served in a styrofoam cup which I wish they had mugs. I saw a few high chairs for kids. Easy relaxing cafe to hang out. They make their own cupcakes which looked great and had different flavors. Other bakery items as well.

It's such a cozy place to grab a local breakfast and tea/coffee. Will always prefer over the corporate places :)

I have always wanted to try this place, I pass it all the time and I like to support local businesses.
I ordered a veggie omelet with ham and a medium cup of coffee. Came to about $17. Which is a little more than I pay for breakfast. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming.
However, the potatoes I received were a little over done. I don’t know if that’s how they serve it, but they were toasted (or fried) a little too much. They were not seasoned as well.
The omelet was good no complaints there. Coffee tasted good. Although they give you a cup but I don’t think you can get a refill since it’s a foam style cup with lid.
Overall experience not too bad. I was hoping more of a diner experience. But it seemed more cafe style.
I’ll stick to my normal breakfast place (Lucky Strike). Better menu options and free coffee refills.

Place has a cool vibe and awesome coffee selection. Cafeteria style not waitress style. Staff were all pretty young and not super outgoing but not rude either if that makes sense. Portions were good and muffins are giant, inexpensive and made there with lots of flavor options and they'll grill it for you if you prefer!

Cute little place tucked away! Yummy coffee and loads of good eats. Need more gluten free options tho!
Everything I had so far has been great. Good selection of big products and the Italian soda is wonderful. They have a variety of flavors. Muffins are huge also. It’s nice to sit outside and eat if the chairs and tables are available.

Used to be the best thing around like 5 years ago. Get ready to play undercooked or burnt.
