Good breakfast. I ordered veggie scramble and it was awesome. The coffee was just quite ordinary. Ask for a presidential seat next to the kitchen and it will be a fun experience!

Cozy little cafe, can get pretty busy on weekends. The staff is always great, they make an effort to make everyone feel welcome. The food is good, and comes in fairly generous portions. I really enjoy their country fried steak, and cream of cauliflower soup when they have it.

Old school diner vibe with solid breakfast options.Parking: Large lot with plenty of spaces. May need to park by grocery store, but not too long of a walk.

Great classic menu, excellent Reuben sandwich, good coffee, delightful team and fast service! Better get there a bit early to be sure you can grab a table. But worth waiting for if you didn't. Highly recommended!
