Tasty food. Good prices. Fast service. I really enjoyed the coffee. I need to come back for some baked goods next time! Life hack: they might offer you some to-go coffee. If they don't, ask em!!!

Amazing biscuits and gravy, the sweet rolls are the size of dinner plates. HUGE !!! Lisa was amazing and the prices were more than reasonable. Coffee was hot, fresh, and good flavor. The biscuit was cut in half and buttered and grilled... need I say more.

This is nice little hidden gem in the city. The staff was very friendly and service was good, the restaurant is small but there is some outside seating. The place was clean and nicely decorated. My wife got something simple like sausage and and eggs but i went wild and got the apple flappers. The portions were huge,i just didnt really car for the apple flappers, i think the apple was just too sour, and the butter ( i think thats was the 2 sticks were) was not really good. Someone else my like it, but i didnt. Thats why i gave the 4 stars, i think if i would have had something simple like my wife then maybe would have been better.

Food was amazing and everything came out hot. The pancakes have a unique texture and flavor, really good. No complaints about food or service. Wait on a Sunday at brunch time was not bad, but we did not know our table was ready for almost 10 minutes and people in line after us were being seated. This was due to them using a text message based alert system, and I did not have my phone out. I assumed they would also call my name. The communication error was a little irritating considering we stood waiting for ~30 minutes. All of that being said, we will be back, hopefully when it's a bit slower. The food was worth the wait.

A local recommended this spot to eat and the food was great !! I like how you can buy the mugs they serve you with. They will give you a new mug which you purchase for a decent price. Try them out very friendly staff.

Best pancakes in town. Also tried the frittata, which was delicious. Great coffee, including lattes. Always good service as well.

I had pancakes, hashbrowns and eggs over easy. I didn't care for the pancakes. The portion sizes were generous. The cafe serves real maple syrup.
