The food here is delightful. I got the Cottage Bowl and I ate every bite. I don’t even know what to say. Good coffee, good food, great price, cute vibes. Love it.

We had breakfast the day after Christmas, and it was fabulous! We started with a Yuletide latte and Not the Gumdrop Buttons latte. The lattes were smooth, creamy, and piping hot! They were served in giant mugs, which was much better than a paper cup from a chain coffee shop. The Super Basic Breakky was definitely not basic. The mixed greens were tender and coated in a light vinaigrette next to perfectly cooked fresh eggs. The palm sized biscuit was hot, flaky, and savory. I added the sweet jam, and it was the best biscuit I have ever eaten! My bacon was extra crispy and perfect. My husband had the Purrito with sausage, and it was extraordinary! The staff was extremely friendly. You can tell that they work very hard. Do not pass up this quaint neighborhood restaurant. I can't wait to visit again!

Wow 🤩 absolutely amazing .
First noticed an amazing looking pop tart, found out it was pear. Tried it and to much of my surprise it was deliciously flaky with the right amount of sweetness.
Had the meat quiche with Biscuit & Gravy totally worth it.

My friend and I met there for breakfast. The atmosphere was upbeat and the setting is cute. I was wishing there was a place at our small two-top to set my small purse, or that the chair might've had room or a hook for it, but onto the floor it went.
The menu is hash-brown heavy, which is great for potato lovers! For low-carb lovers, choices are few. The service was mildly attentive, somewhat incomplete, and the food delivered warm, not piping hot. All in all, not a bad experience but not five stars
