I have loved this place ever since I was a kid. They have the best pancakes, and you will never find better cakes anywhere.

The highlight of the vacation. Breakfast and plenty! I just loved every bit! The wait for a table was short, with a full house... which tells the story! The pancakes are as big as the plate.. From years ago, the cinnamon rolls are a must!

This amazing Cafe has been around since I was little. They have hardworking, friendly and welcoming staff. The food it’s amazing (cakes or french toast) is what I always get. You can tell they make the food with passion. Thank you for making me a happy customer!

I had heard that B&B was really good so I was looking forward to our visit. Boy was I disappointed!!! The service was literally the worst I have ever had in my life and as someone who has worked in food service I am not one to complain about service or be hard on people. The food took a truly insane amount of time to arrive—I’m talking 90 minutes for a couple of pancakes and that is not an exaggeration. And in at entire time, not one person ever checked on us despite the presence of no less than six servers in a tiny diner. No one offered to refresh our coffees, no one stopped by to apologize for the wait and explain why on earth it was taking so long, literally not a single contact from the wait staff in the entire 90 minutes except when I flagged someone down after 20 minutes for cream for my coffee and someone else after about 70 minutes to politely ask for an ETA on our food. When she checked with the kitchen and came back to say 15 more minutes, I honestly would have stood up to leave at that point except that my kids had been waiting so so patiently and to make them wait and then leave without pancakes just felt mean. It is a very small diner with clear line of sight to every booth and table and there was a period of about 20 minutes when not a single person had food. I assume they were doing some big take out or catering order but I never saw them boxing anything up or anyone come to pick up. Honestly I’m not mad about the wait—who knows what might have happened? Something broke in the kitchen, they ran out of something important, it doesn’t matter. The real problem is that there were lots of servers and they weren’t checking on ANYONE - it wasn’t just our table. They were truly just walking laps and ignoring absolutely everyone. If they would have stopped, offered coffee or something for the kids like a piece of fruit or a cookie or a coloring sheet, just chatted a little and explained/apologized about the wait—I wasn’t expecting a discount or anything. Truly just basic minimum level customer service. And we got NONE of it. So so disappointed. We will never be back.

I loved this place! The food was delicious and everyone was super friendly. I was on a long road trip and felt right at home here! The cake and meat was yummy and I took a cinnamon roll to go for the next morning breakfast and it was the best I’ve ever had!!
