Any time I’m visiting my allergy doctor I stop in here for a quick bite. My food is always really satisfying and very good. The service is also always great, I enjoy their waitstaff! I like sitting up at the breakfast bar alone ,with my husband or friend. The restaurant is busy and has a fair amount of seating indoors and out with nice big windows. They typically have a specials board as well. I highly recommend my absolute ONLY issue with this place is that no one wears gloves...

This is a great spot for breakfast or lunch. However, it is not visible from the road. You have to pull in the driveway & go around the back of the office bldg. I loved the atmosphere! The staff were very nice as well. The food was excellent. The only drawback was that the GF pancake was dry. Other than that, I'd definitely go back!
