Food was fast and service was good. Cloth napkins was a nice touch for breakfast/lunch restaurant. Menu had good variety of different options.

It was a cute spot and the staff were incredibly welcoming. But there’s room for improvement.

Breakfast stops at 11:15am (on the weekends the end breakfast at noon but they do have omelettes all day!) I had the omelette and it was delicious😋

Best pancakes I've ever had. Especially the walnut and banana. Friendly staff and great atmosphere. Kid friendly - you get crayons and you can draw directly on the table covered with paper.

This little cafe is an absolute joy with a true neighborhood feel. The owners and staff are always so friendly—it’s the kind of place where you feel welcomed the moment you walk in. The food is consistently great: the pancakes are unbelievably fluffy, the coffee is delicious, and the spicy southwest scrambled is hands-down my favorite.

It’s also super kid-friendly, which I really appreciate. Whether I’m there with my little ones (they’re always so accommodating) or grabbing a quiet breakfast on my own at the counter, it’s always a great experience. The outdoor seating is a bonus, especially on nice days.

Perfect spot for a relaxed weekend brunch or a midweek pick-me-up. Can’t recommend it enough!

We stumbled on to this awesome little Cafe in Rye last weekend after walking the dog near Rye Playland. The manager was super friendly and accomdated our wishes to sit outside even though they weren't set up for it as it is still winter. It was a warm day though. I can't say enough about our friendly and very professional waiter Tony. Sometimes with outside seating you get neglected, but not here. Tony was out consistently to check on us and that was nice. The food was great too. We went for a salad and an omlette with 2 lattes both of which were wonderful. The coffee was strong enough with good foam but not overly bitter. We definitely found a gem of a restaraunt with great people operating it. The inside seating looked quite nice as well. Now....when to go back 🤔

Honestly the worst meal I’ve ever had. My wife and I had the eggs in purgatory and the “toast” was incredibly soggy, tomato sauce was in desperate need of at least some salt, and to top it off, it was expensive. Cappuccino was mediocre at best, I didn’t know it was possible to ruin a cappuccino, especially one costing $9. We asked for toast in hopes of improving the meal texture and the waiter forgot to put the order in so we never got it. Cappuccino was initially forgotten about & we had to ask for cutlery. It wasn’t even busy, there was no excuse for this. I have no idea how this place has 4.5 stars??? We paid $45 for soggy bread and unsalted tomato sauce, do with that information what you will.

Service is non existent. Place is dirty. Plaster has water stains on ceiling, another spot the plaster is simply falling, they're are done for is air ducts running from the ceiling into the wall in the dining room. 12 tables 6 of which were full of food from previous guests. Do not serve real maple syrup unless you pay for it. This place is terrible.

Poorly operated restaurant. We arrived 10 min before our reservation time and still had to wait. While waiting, the old man host sat people in places on the food bar that weren't clean nor sanitized yet. He wiped the counter interstitial of the place mats and didn't sanitize the area. He wiped the counter dry and flicked food off the mats then sat people in front of me.
We finally were seated in a corner table and concerned by the its cleanliness. Also, no one greeted us for 15 minutes. We sat in the corner without water nor greeting. I even waved at the waiter who looked at me and turned away so he could clean coffee pots. Also, the host was taking phones orders while we waited in the restaurant for service.
No review for food because we werent even offered a glass a water not a hello.
Zero service.

Terribly slow service, even though it wasn't crowded. The pancakes, @$5.75 each, were undercooked and went down like lead.
If I hadn't waited so long for them, I would have sent them back.
Total disappointment.

Cute spot. I'm a diner person and this checks lots of boxes. I'd say portion for dollar rate is weak. Lots of positives though.

Wonderful place kind of hidden away. A real local treasure with many interesting food options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner . They also have nice tables outside.

Parking: Free parking in front of the restaurant. A very nice local place with a cool bar.
