One of our favorite breakfast places. It is a from scratch kitchen so your order takes a little bit longer than some franchise type places however it is very worth it.

I am not one to typically write reviews, but having come to this restaurant multiple times, never did I imagine that I would be appalled at what occurred.
I recently went in, had a cup of coffee, and decided to order 3 eggs (scrambled) with cheese and a side of fruit. The waitress was excellent, and very attentive. The food, however, was the appalling part. I received a plate with 3 eggs ranging from over-easy to over-hard, not at all scrambled, and with cheese smothering the eggs. When taking the first bite, the egg split open, and the yolk came running out. The odd part was, it appeared to be fried than scrambled, as there were brown parts of the egg that were borderline blackened right next to that part of the egg.
Additionally, the amount of cheese appeared to have simply been melted on top, and I could only taste cheese and no egg. The waitress apologized for mistake, but I had been waiting for roughly 20~25 minutes for the food and lost my appetite after the way the eggs came out. I simply requested to not have the food be remade, as I had no intention of waiting almost an hour to eat, paid for my coffee, and left. As a regular in the morning, I was sadly let down at a place that has exceptional coffee and good food, but if the quality has come down this far, then I will be taking a break from eating here.
To management, I am sorry for the length of this, but I could not have been more displeased with food quality.

I want to begin by saying I normally would not write a review like this for the public to see, but since I couldn’t find a direct way to contact you besides an email address and phone number, I felt this was the best option to ensure my message reached you. Please accept my apologies for the length, but I believe this is important for you to know.
I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Frothy Rooster with my family who was visiting from out of town. I want to share that I was extremely impressed with the food, and the service from the server was exceptional. You truly have a wonderful establishment.
However, there is one matter that has been weighing heavily on me since our visit, and I feel it’s important to share it with you. While dining, I witnessed behavior from a manager toward her employees that was concerning. The tone, language, and overall treatment came across as belittling and harsh and unfortunately, it happened in front of guests. At one point, I even saw a young employee leave the kitchen in tears after being yelled at.
I completely understand that rules, standards, and direction are vital in running a successful restaurant. But as someone who owned and ran a company for over 25 years, I know firsthand that the foundation of success begins with how employees are treated and led. A manager’s role is not only to enforce rules but to lead by example, communicate respectfully, and build morale. When employees feel valued and supported, that positive energy naturally extends to your guests.
The energy in a restaurant is contagious. Guests return not only for great food but also for the welcoming atmosphere your team creates. Unfortunately, the actions I witnessed shifted the energy of the entire room. I could tell that many of your employees are young, and guiding young staff members requires patience, encouragement, and strong leadership skills. Based on what I observed, I believe the individual currently in that leadership role may not be the best fit to inspire and develop your team in a healthy way.
Please know that I’m sharing this out of respect for your business and in hopes that my feedback helps you maintain the high standard you’ve already established in food and service. I truly believe your restaurant has all the ingredients to continue flourishing, and with the right leadership approach, your team will be the driving force behind its long-term success.
Thank you for taking the time to read my message and for considering my perspective as one of your guests.

Our eggs were hard and had definitely been cooked for awhile. They were not freshly cooked. The yeast donuts were good, especially the raspberry dipping sauce. I was excited to try this place and was very disappointed. The staff was very friendly.
