The staff are great but the food is so bad. The French toast was legit two pieces of white bread with syrup you’d get at a fast food place, and coffee is almost $5 without refills. There are so many good places in P-town why would you spend over $20 here for a breakfast that makes a Super 8 motel continental breakfast seem good.

Food was fine but oh my goodness the service was so awful, the youngest female waitress was so rude, she was really impatient and sighed when I asked a question about the menu, to be honest I really wished I had walked out, I’ve never experienced such rudeness for no reason, customer service was zero, for the first time ever we didn’t leave a tip

Delightful breakfast spot featuring old favorites and some creative dishes as well. Bloody Mary was exceptionally good - homemade mix with just the right blend of horseradish! We sat outside and enjoyed the breeze and people watching. Friendly staff- definitely would return

Came here with friends and immediately loved the vibe. From the cute French music playing to the whimsical decor. The service was fast and friendly. The drinks and food were delicious. We came for brunch. I am celiac and have to eat gluten free. There were plenty of options for me here. I had the eggs Benedict on gluten free bread. I loved it here and would absolutely come back.

Great food. No accessibility ramp, but there is outdoor seating at ground level. Bathroom is single stall. Staff was nice.

I might have to say that this was the best ice cream cone I've had... Maybe ever. They make the cone itself fresh to order, and there's like, a small hint of cinnamon or something in it and it's just... SO DARN GOOD. Come here and get your gelato fix. You won't be disappointed!

I really enjoyed having brunch outside here with my family after whale watching. The food was great and it’s the perfect spot for people watching!

The gelato looked scrumptious in the freezer case, but I was underwhelmed. Most definitely has the density of ice cream, and not of the real deal.

Went for dinner one night and breakfast another day and both times the food was very good, service was very fast and polite. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, and the outdoor dining makes it even better as its right next to the street. The breakfast menu imo was better with more options but overall a great place to eat.

Dont go here unless you want not only horrible service but to also be frauded. 2 friends and I came here last week for breakfast. Waited over 20 minutes for someone to acknowledge us. After about 30-40 minutes, we got our meals. Not only was one of them not what we ordered, but none of us got cutlery. We politely asked the servers 3 times for cutlery, and after the third time, I just went myself to the kitchen to get it. We asked for something that we ordered 3-4 times, and when it finally came when we were all done our meals, the waitress laughed stating "well, looks like you dont need this anymore!". We were very polite for the entire day, as we get this is busy season, but after all of this, we decided not to leave a tip. I specially wrote "none" on the line where it says what tip would you like to leave, and signed my signature. I got an email receipt a day later, to find out they gave themselves a 20-25% tip. I went back to the restaurant who told me there was nothing they could do, and I could leave my name and number for the manager to call me. To this day, I have yet to receive a call. So, if you want horrible service and to be frauded, please choose this place! If not, stay far away.

If gelato and alcohol don’t sound good together, don’t order this. Thinking along those lines, I tried the Salted Caramel Gelato cocktail anyways…and loved it! Would I drink this all the time? No. Certainly not low-cal. But, it’s a fun detour from a regular sweet treat and I would easily do it again!

We’ve come here a few times and really enjoyed it, but this last visit was lackluster. Ordered wine, and they’re out of everything on the menu, so finally got a random glass after 3 checks in the kitchen. Server didn’t understand what gluten free bread is, even though it’s on the menu. Just seems disorganized, a little confusing.

What a lovely spot on Commercial Street! We stopped in for breakfast and enjoyed a delicious late morning experience! Eggs cooked perfectly, the sausage top notch and tasty, and great bread used for the toast--so good! We sat outside, but when the skies opened up and started to rain, the staff welcomed us into the restaurant and allowed us to stay till the rains finished. Friendly staff, cute dining room. Great marks all around!
