So my wife introduced me to this place as it's been tradition in her family for years whenever in DCL to come to Oakland to this quant little diner inside an antique shop! Just went again this past weekend and it's as good as always. Love the western omelets and the pancakes! Good food every time.

This was a cute little spot. Went out just to poke around at shops and decided to grab lunch. It’s been a long time since I have been somewhere that does malted shakes and they were worth the calories! It was so good. The food was good, would stop in again.

It's quite small, I had a backpack on I was worried I would know something fragile over, and I don't like leaving my backpack at the front of the store, if it's not too hard, can you widen the walkways a small bit nothing too much, if you can't that's alright. Overall a good place and nothing bad (Haven't tried the food, this is for the antique part)
Kid-friendliness: Keep your kids contained for the sake of the store (not to be rude)
Absolutely love this little "hole in the woods" as I call it! 14 yrs ago I just happen to stumble across this place and every time I have come back to the area, I always eat here!!
The old time feels of this place are enough to make me feel like home. The waitresses are always very friendly and attentive.
And MY personal fav thing - strawberry milk!! They have it and not just chocolate 👍
Kid-friendliness: Kids are welcome! Family atmosphere
Wheelchair accessibility: The is a ramp out front leading into the store and straight back to the diner.

So I wouldn't go there to eat. My family walked to the counter and was standing in line to place an order. An employee told us to take a seat, and they would bring us a menu to review. So we went to the table sat for 10 minutes and then decided to leave as no one came over to even give us a menu, let alone take our order. As for the flea market, there were some ok booths with some nice items. It's worth spending a couple of minutes walking around if you are in the area. I wouldn't go out of my way to go there.

This place has changed significantly since Dottie and her staff retiredbut it's still okay! It doesn't seem like much but has good food. If you ever wanted to try buckwheat cakes you won't find better. Homemade vegetable soup served here. All this in an antique store with an old fashioned dinner. Be warned that they close at 2:45 pm and will stop serving 1 or 2 hours earlier if not busy.
Delicious as always. Best chocolate milkshakes out there

Very good brightly lit breakfast/lunch eatery. In my opinion a bit pricey, but portions are large so maybe that's just me. Clean. Can be busy which slows service. Food is always good. Buckwheat cakes all year which is great.

Clearly, based on the reviews and the line this business won't be affected by this review but hopefully it'll help future customers. We arrived at 12:30, clearly before it's advertised closing time, and there was a sign that said the kitchen is closed. I'd call if you're going.

Unique place restaurant in the back antique store up front. Food was what you would expect to get at any diner. Would definitly go back.
