Loved the avocado toast and the Christmas theme! Very quick to get seated but took a little bit of time to get our order placed. Overall good experience.

We put our names on a waiting list. When they texted us our seat was ready, we were in a shop next store. We got to the host stand within the two minutes and they had already given our table away. It was only after we got there and checked in that we got another text saying we have been removed from the wiring list. Had to wait 10 minutes for a table after that.

I’ve given this place two chances, and both times I’ve left feeling disappointed and unwelcome. During my first visit, I came with a friend; for context, we are both Black Muslim women. While we were seated and served quickly, we were handed the bill just as we began eating, which felt like a signal to hurry and finish. This wasn’t near the end of our meal but right after we received our food.

Despite that experience, we decided to give the place another chance today, 11/19/2024, hoping for a better outcome. Unfortunately, things weren’t any better. When we arrived, we stood at the register waiting to be attended to. However, Roger, the manager, made eye contact with two women who arrived after us and chose to serve them first, asking us to wait as though we were less important, even though we had been there first.

As two college students just looking for a good, healthy breakfast near our university, this treatment was extremely discouraging. To make matters worse, throughout our meal, Roger lingered around our table, making us feel unwelcome, as if the space wasn’t meant for us. His behavior was rude and uncomfortable, leaving us with a negative impression of this establishment.

Everyone deserves to feel comfortable and valued in a space they’re paying to be in. This was not okay.

I had the amazing biscuits with turkey sausage gravy and eggs!!! It was soo good! You can tell they make their gravy and biscuits from scratch! Also had this Mocha dark chocolate ice coffee drink and I finished it so fast just because it was that utterly delicious! Will return for second round soon!

First time visit. Very pleasant experience. Nice staff. Abby had the best smile for us and was very knowledgeable when answering our questions. Thank you Abby! I had the tomato basil tortilla from the healthy choice menu which was good. My husband had the power bowl that he said was an excellent choice. Plan to visit again if possible when in town.
