Love the quaintness of the place. Their Reuben is surprisingly delicious. Sit inside or outside, the ambiance is great.

It's a small cozy place with a small menu but great choices. Service was fast and friendly. The food came out fast and tasted great. I plan on returning and trying dishes soon.

Small local coffee shop. You place your order, grab your beverage, and then take a seat. We enjoyed our food and experience, but personally prefer a little more elbow room. I recommend this place if you are a group of two or less just due to size of space. There isn't a ton of seating, maybe 10 two seat tables. Once the seats are taken, you have to wait for availability. The coffee is great! It was self-serve with the option or half and half or oat milk in their fridge. Orange juice is available, and it tasted fresh squeezed! The food was really tasty! We ordered the breakfast tacos, the greek omelet with cinnamon raisin toast, and split the hashbrowns.

I wanted to like this place, but I ended up really, really liking it! The hostess was very friendly and patient, the Greek omelette was great, heck even the coffee was really good. The decor is homey. There was a slight wait for a table, but it wasn’t too bad. I’ll be coming back here, and that’s not something I say about every place.Parking: It’s a weird location, a few businesses in the middle of a housing tract. The parking is limited.

I really enjoy bourbon waffles and hash browns and bacon . Nice, small, food is cooked just right.

Very delayed review but didn't realize I never posted! Came back in June. Very very cute spot. The inside is small but cozy. Maybe 5 tables total? You order at the counter then wait for your food. The menu is very interesting, some nice different options for breakfast mixed in with classics. My only gripe is that we waited nearly an hour for food. It was fairly busy and their kitchen was small. Also not sure if maybe they do delivery as well so that could have been taking up some of the orders. Food was pretty good from what I remember. Everything tasted hot and fresh. I'd come back but probably not on a weekend.

The place has potential. It's tiny & vibe is chic, but the wait for our food was almost an hour! Plenty of folks walked out since no tables were available. My friend's hash browns were hands down the best I've ever tried & I regretted not getting them. I tried the sweet potato hash which had great combo, but was so drenched in oil I couldn't finish it & was sick to my stomach the rest of the morning. Hopefully they can make improvements as it was a great location.

The staff was courteous and nice. The food was fantastic and the coffee self-serve had oat milk! They had a special for an Elote omelet and it was great!Parking: The parking location is in front of the Resturant and on the street nearby.

Sweetie went here last week and loved it, so I met a former coworker here for a semi-regular breakfast catchup. She said it was "small and good," and I worried that it might be too small, and packed, but at 9am on a weekday it was fine. Ten or so tables, three or so occupied when we got there; half full or more by the time we left. When I walked in, I also worried that it might be a bit too froufrou for me. After all, smallish cafe in UA... I was quickly disabused of that: while waiting for my friend I asked at the counter about coffee, resigned to choosing from 35 sweetened variations. The guy didn't quite say "grab a cup," but it was close: get a cup from the counter, and get it yourself from the coffee bar. Three containers, a couple of types of sweetener, and a jug of milk in the fridge. (And an oat milk one, I think.) Cool. The menu is pretty big, and there were several things I really wanted to try. I went with the sweet potato hash, and: wow. So good. (Also unpretentious: cardboard carryout containers as plates, and sturdy plasticware.) Chopped up potatoes, kale, Brussels sprouts, etc., perfectly cooked. And a big portion. Plus your choice of toast; I got very good wheat, came heavily buttered, yum. My friend enjoyed his omelet. We sat and talked, but we could have been in and out in half an hour, stuffed full of good and reasonably healthy breakfast food. They have lunch too. Service was great. Fast and friendly and a little snarky, there when you needed but not overbearing. Prices are reasonable for what you get. Check out the specials beside the register; I didn't notice them till too late, but they looked good too. Bright and airy, comfy chairs, just a great little place.

A quaint spot to grab a quick bite. We hit South of Lane around 1pm so I'm guessing that's what it wasn't too crowded. Don't get me wrong; it was busy but I was expected to wait in a line. The food was great. The Reuben was delicious with a solid mix of flavors. The quesadilla was delicious, if a bit greasy. My son's French toast was solid. And the omelet was great. Only complaint was the $4 drip coffee but I don't have a problem supporting local business.

Stopped by to kill some time and was hoping for a nice latte. Unfortunately all they had was their regular drip or an apple cider latte. I decided to be daring and get the latte...let's just say I do not recommend. I ordered a snack and got the grilled cinnamon roll which was tasty but it was served with butter that tasted as though it had been in contact with chives or green onion so this was not a good flavor combination which was unfortunate as the roll definitely needed the butter. The inside was cute and I liked the decor. Service was quick as well. If I'm ever back in the area, I'd love to try some of their food on the menu as it all sounded pretty great.

Amazingly delicious food! We tried the breafast burrito and tacos and the burbon pecan french toast. All were well worth the hour wait.
