Great little place in a strip mall that has good food and friendly courteous staff.
BE PREPARED CASH ONLY.
Otherwise 5 stars.

Marilyn and Bill are really good people. Delicious food and great coffee! When i am in the area, I will always stop by for breakfast or lunch. Top notch place with owners that take pride in what they do!

One of my favorite go-to spots when I'm running errands. Excellent food and the atmosphere can't be beat. There aren't places like this anymore. Cash-only, cozy, unpretentious, welcoming.

A gem of a place; eclectic with a great breakfast menu (and a lot more). Quick and friendly service with a staff who cares; evident with how busy it was. A great experience!

Very attentive and kind staff from the moment we walked in. Food was good but it's not breakfast-ish food, so not exactly difficult to mess up, but it was very tasty either way. Only gripe is that it's cash-only and they only give you bottled water - no free water!

First time going here they didn't give me an itemized bill, and our whole table was suspicious of them overcharging. When asked about the price the manager woman was rude and unclear as to why our bill seemed to be more than it should have been.

Paying for water bottles over a Covid policy 4 years later is absurd

Went again today and our bill didn't accurately reflect the menu prices

Breakfast is good, soup is great, Reuben was bad

The disappointing thing is that you have to buy bottled water. Also to change from home fries to tomato is $3.50. Really?

This place was small and cozy but beautiful, with all the walls covered in Marilyn Monroe-inspired artwork. Keep in mind that this café only accepts cash. There's an ATM at a pizza place next door, though the fee is $6. As for drink options, they don’t offer fresh-squeezed juices or smoothies, which was disappointing, but they do have typical sodas, bottled juice, tea, and coffee. The home fries and sausage were delicious and highly recommended. The pancakes were decent, though I wish they were fluffier. I asked for scrambled eggs, but they looked more like an omelette and needed more salt.

Please note that this café is not wheelchair-friendly. The tables are very close together, and the aisles are not wide enough for a wheelchair to pass through to the bathroom. The bathroom itself is very small; when using the toilet, you touch the wall, which can be uncomfortable for larger individuals.
