Walked in with my family for lunch, we were waiting off to the side completely out of the way with our disabled child, infant and 2 other children. We were asked to wait outside in 18 degree weather. The food might be great, but to ask your guest to sit outside with a special needs child and infant in the freezing cold is a bit much in my opinion. Will not be back.
To add, yes there is a sign up stating this. But, when you are a family with young kids, while managing a special needs child you would think they could make a short exception being we watched a large family leave their table right as we walked in. This was not a thing last time we ate here or I definitely wouldn’t have took the time to find parking and even go in.

Really liked the B&G Burrito. My friends said the skillets, french toast, hash browns, sausage, bacon and omelets were spot on. Traditional Cafe with jellies, syrup, ketchup on table. Laid back vibe, very busy place.

Besides getting delicious gluten free food... great food & service and impressive staff! Their Gluten Free Blueberry Pancakes were delicious AND my friend enjoyed her GF Wild Rice Skillet. Their chef impressed us by coming out to see if her eggs were exactly how she liked them after her initial order came with eggs cooked differently than she'd ordered them. Impressive! We will be returning and share this gem with family and friends.

Such a great cozy brunch spot. The service is immaculate and I had some of the best eggs Benedict ever here. Definitely a must visit for anyone in the area.

What a wonderful find in the charming downtown area of Buffalo. The Minnesota Wild Rice Skillet was not only unique but also quite delicious. The atmosphere and service was incredible.

Good old fashioned place. Would refer to anyone who askes
My wife and I went there on a Saturday morning. We first arrived and asked for a table for 2. The hostess informed us of a 20-25 min wait. Expecting a busy Saturday morning, we agreed to wait. We sat outside and waited for about 25 minutes.
Our buzzer went off around the expected wait time and we proceeded to return to the host stand expecting a table to be ready like we were told. Very standard.
The hostess informed us that all they had available was a 6-top and that we would be seated with 2 complete strangers at the table with us and they “hoped that would be OK”.
Surprised by this unusual request we immediately objected. We didn’t want to be seated at a table with strangers…
We were then informed that we would have to keep waiting then for a table to open up and we agree… we were told it wouldn’t be long maybe 10 more minutes.
At this point we had been there for a total of about 35-40 minutes now we were starting our second “wait”. For a simple table for 2.
10 minutes later our buzzer goes off again and we go back in to be seated.
This is where it went really weird. We walk up to the host stand to find one of the servers standing there.. not the hostess as before. The waitress is immediately hostile towards us and we are told in a very patronizing sarcastic way “ok your table is ready- so sorry… I hope this one is better for you..”
She then walks us over to the middle of the busy dining area and seats us at a large 5-top table.. (only 2 of us) and starts sarcastically asking us “is this table better for you guys??- I’m really sorry the other table wasn’t good enough… I really hope this is better for you..”
We asked her if they typically seat people together at tables, who don’t know eachother? She then (in the same snarky attitude) starts telling us: “that’s our policy because some people just want to eat and don’t care where they sit”.
We tell her that we’ve never seen a policy like that before in ANY restaurant EVER… and that we just wanted to get a table for two and not be seated with strangers. (Simple request you’d think at a restaurant..)
This waitress then begins to attack us and berate us.. telling us “you know what, you guys came of as extremely hostile.”
All we did was tell the hostess no, that we didn’t want to share a table with random strangers.. not hostile.
She then proceeds to tell us repeatedly speaking to us as if we are misbehaving children that “next time you come here I ask that you aren’t so hostile.” and “next time you guys need to try to show a little bit of kindness” and that “They’re just high schoolers”
After being scolded like children. By a waitress that was probably 15 years younger than us… and honestly publicly humiliated in the middle of a busy dining area. My wife and I felt so awkward, outright embarrassed, and unwelcome in this establishment. We got up and left. We took our money elsewhere.
We are locals and this was our first time here. We go out for breakfast almost every weekend and we were excited to try this place and hoped to add it to our rotation of local breakfast spots!
I wish I could say how the food was, but after about an hour+ ordeal of waiting outside, objecting to sharing a table with complete strangers and then getting scolded like children and berated by a waitress when we finally got seated…to the point where we literally got up and walked out… we never even got to look at a menu.
There will be no next time for us… I felt like we were in an episode of Seinfeld or something it was absolutely absurd.

On the weekends be prepared for a wait, and know it's worth it. This is the best homemade breakfast I have ever had the pleasure of ordering. After a few visits the food and service have been consistent. The service friendly and personable, the food delicious.
I never miss out in ordering a cinnamon roll... though they have ruined all other cinnamon rolls for me.
While possible to overlook the non-assuming facade from the street, the food is impossible to forget.

My first time at this restaurant and I can guarantee you it will not be my last. The food is beyond phenomenal. The service is outstanding, and the coffee is great! Very reasonably priced.
