My husband l likes it here (cheap plates for a lot of food). I on the other hand do not. Personal preference, everything is made with SO much butter (I get it’s called buttermilk but the pancakes leak butter and so do the eggs) I tried their berries and Waffles this time and the “berries” were just defrosted frozen berries. The place is outdated and doesn’t seem clean to me. The staff is very friendly which is why I am giving them some stars.

Nice coffee shop in a small town.

Best buttermilk pancakes I’ve had! The hollandaise bennies are phenomenal.

The overall experience was pleasant. The service quality was decent—around 4/5—with some variation depending on the server. The staff were friendly and welcoming.
I tried their famous Eggs Benedict, which lived up to its reputation. Pricing is on par with other restaurants in the area. While the interior is starting to show its age, the atmosphere remains warm and casual.
The cafe is clearly a popular spot and tends to be quite busy. While it may not be a must-visit destination in terms of uniqueness, it is certainly a nice place to stop by if you're in downtown Cobourg.

This was my 4th time to the place and had the same wonderful experience. Friendly staff, delicious food and excellent service. The patio seating adds to the whole experience.

Food was great. I love the pancakes and omelette. Service were amazing. Great to have a seat in the patio in the summer.

Not even through my meal and I had to pause to write this review! A really good eggs benedict; the perfect hollandaise on it and the plate was a good size - not too big or small. Home fries were decent too. The cherry on top is the service. It was fast, polite, and what a great atmosphere. Glad I stopped here from off the road; would definitely come again.
