Great breakfast and great service by Kaliah. It was the best breakfast sandwich I’ve ever had and the house made granola with a trip to the berry bar was incredible. Kaliah is awesome and will provide A+ service.

This was the second location we visited. Earlier did the one near university. Food as usual was really good..was crowded, as expect for a Sunday. Don't forget to reserve. Always a great choice for breakfast/ brunch..huge portions. We love the berry bar! The local salmon hash was amazing 💕. So was he summer corn hash. Swedish pancakes didn't disappoint. Ranchers breakfast with pancakes hit the spot. coffee was strong and topped up. The place is loud! But that...

Love love love this place♥ enjoyed my experience so much that I went back again in the same week! Servers are friendly, and eating outside on the patio is nice with the heaters and blankets they provide. And the hot chocolate is bomb.
