Absolutely delicious breakfast! We placed a large order for take out and they prepared it quickly and accurately. I tried the Meat Lovers Omelette and Eggs Benedict, they were both absolutely delicious. Perhaps the best omelette I have ever had! The breakfast potatoes were top notch as well. Great food and friendly service!Kid-friendliness: Board games and kid’s menus.

Fantastic find. One of our group prefers gluten free and the GF pancakes were great. The other members of our party loved the regular blueberry pancakes, eggs Benedict along with house made sausage & delicious coffee. The server was really friendly and the atmosphere welcoming. Beautiful location. We will be back.

My disabled daughter and I drove northeast 1 1/2 hours to meet my other daughter, her husband, and my two grandchildren. They drove 1 1/2 hours southwest. We met last winter at this little restaurant to celebrate a late Christmas and were very happy with the food and friendly service. However, this time was not so great. We arrived at 9am and planned to take the same small area where we had all met last winter. The rest of the group had not yet arrived. I was totally shocked by the rudeness of one of the waitresses. Very loudly and in front of other customers, she told us we could not be seated because they don't seat people until the whole group is there and to go wait outside. Now, if this was some rule we had never heard of, she could have politely addressed the situation rather than embarrass us in front of everyone. The rest of the group arrived and we were seated. By 9:30 we had our order in but soon realized they were way behind with cooking. It took until 11:00 for some of our orders to trickle out. We did notice that people who had placed orders after ours were served first because they threatened to leave. As guests ate and left, Miss Hospitality was not the short-tempered person we had encountered earlier. Despite this, we all felt she needed some education in customer service because "warm and fuzzy" did not describe her. The other staff were friendly. The food was pretty good. All it took was one rude person to throw a wrench into what should have been a pleasant day for me to celebrate my grandchildren's birthdays. We will never go back to this restaurant.

This was the best breakfast food my husband and I have had at a restaurant in a very long time! My husband had the country fried steak and it was delicious! It seemed to be made from scratch. I the veggie omelette which was also delicious! Very fresh ingredients! Oh and the hash browns were fresh grated potatoes and they were nice and crispy but not burnt. We will definitely be back!

Amazing food! Highly recommend the eggs Benedict, 3 egg omelette, and the Balsam Hash. All were amazing.
I came here on a break from a job site, walked in, and got seated at the nice little diner countertop. I didn’t expect the four seasons, I was looking for a good breakfast in a small town, and that’s what I got. Great quiet atmosphere, simple, waiter and cook were friendly and didn’t ask a ton of questions, good eggs and pancakes. That’s all we really need in a wild world that we live in today. Good people, real food, and a minute to slow down. That’s my two cents.

Taking a needed break...I finally got out to enjoy breakfast at a local place! Love the atmosphere with the outdoor patio area that is dog friendly and also live music at 11a! Street side has a portable fire pit which looks like it would be fun to sit n have a drink by it!Tried the Cinnamon french toast special which has a custardy texture to it for appetizer. Followed by corned beef hash (w/o toast) and traditional eggs benedict (w/o english muffin).All of it was delicious! You can't go wrong eating here!Shout out to Hannah (our server) and all the crew - very friendly service and food arrived hot n fresh!Lake life!

We enjoyed the experience. The service and food were good. I felt the price was higher than the portions we received and the place was a little run down. We will be back. But I can not justify it being more than an occasional stop due to the price.

Coffee is great, food is great, staff are friendly and welcoming. Better yet, you know the food is being made with thought and love. The cafe is an excellent choice for a morning brunch, especially when they have their mimosa flights! Highly recommend to anyone!
