You hung up the phone before I could finish my conversation. My son and I both did not feel well after eating the cinnamon roll . The frosting had all melted and was bad. You over charged me for using my credit card. I paid cash. You should really use gloves or tongs when handling the food. Try washing the sticky floor.

My husband, two boys, and I were up in the area to purchase a car. We were about two hours from home and wanted to have something to eat before we got back on the highway. We found this little place and it was absolutely delicious! Each one of us had a different meal and we tried each other‘s food. Everything tasted fresh and was made to order. We took some pastries, brownies, and a piece of cheesecake for the road. When we got home from our long drive, we enjoyed tasting all of the baked goods. I just enjoyed the last one with my coffee this morning. I wish I lived closer because I would frequent this place often. Thank you so much for keeping your doors open that night since it was kind of close to closing when we got there. You made our night and had us leave with a smile on our faces. If we are ever up in the area again , we will definitely stop back in. The restaurant was clean and cozy, but most importantly the food was delicious!
It was an experience that ruined my appetite and day. My wife and i had gone in for breakfast/lunch optimistic about the food. The atmosphere which had felt cozy when we first walked in soon turned into the twilight zone. We seated our selves and waited 10 min before we saw the only waitress working who brought us the menu. The menu seemed full of diverse and well thought out dishes so we got excited for the meal. We ordered two appetizers (hummus plater and fried tomatoes), and 2 mains (veggie burger and garden omelette), my first choice the portobello burger was not available so i had to settle for something else. We then proceeded to wait 1HR AND 20MIN before we saw our first appetizer. We came to find out that each dish is made to order “from scratch” with only one cook in the kitchen. When the food finally came it was nothing but disappointment. The meal felt slapped together unseasoned and just wet?. My wife's omelette had no favor and the vegetables in it were not cooked, and her home fries were also undercooked and bland. My burger was just flavorless mush and while bun looked homemade it was chewy like it had been in the microwave for too long. Neither me nor wife could finish our food. We had been there for over 2 hrs by now and had barely eaten anything, We were hungry and desperate for something to get the bad tastes out of our mouth so we went over to the bakery counter which we had held out hope for. The baked goods were just as terrible, each item too sweet to taste anything but sugar, and textures were confusing. We left having paid the highest i have ever paid for a meal that disgusting, and i was left depressed and unable to eat for the rest of the day. My wife was also mad at me because it was my idea to eat there.
The food was really good and out of the kitchen fresh. We really liked the cornedbeef hash. Best we've ever tasted. We didn't buy the baked goods, but they all looked amazingly delicious. We will be back to see the wonder staff again soon.

My husband and I went here this morning for the first time and ordered the Sunday breakfast. It was so delicious. Finally a place with great food that tastes homemade! The baked goods are to die for! We’re so happy we finally tried The Local Diner and Bakery. Definitely our new favorite place ❤️👍👍👍👍
Flat soda. Flies everywhere. Overpriced. Not good at all.

Had a very bad experience and intentionally ignored. Visited with my wife and my 2 kids. The moment when I get in, younger waitress attended for drink initially then she attended to another 3 families came in while we coming. Later, older lady waitress took order from those 3 families only but intentionally skipped us and took the order from the people who sitting in front of us and back to us. Then I made a complaint to young one after 20 minutes by this time people who came along with us they finished their food but they didn’t even take order from me. After half hour younger one took order and finally given the food after 15 minutes from the time of order. We were totally disappointed and especially my kids felt very bad for this situation.

Homey, local feel.
We got the eggs with cornbeef hash it was fantastic!
We spoke to one of the owners before we left and found out everything is made in house, from the sliced turkey on a sandwich to the corn-beef to the roast beef etc.
So worth going to!
