I've only been once, and while I liked my food and thought the place was really cute, it didn't blow me away. It's possible I set my expectations too high before I went. But it's definitely a solid three stars and I'd be willing to go back.
The building itself is really cute. It looks like the kind of place you'd love to have a tea party with your daughter or a really cute lunch date with your girlfriends. It's not the kind of place my husband would enjoy, but that's mostly because of the small seats and tables inside. It's not that he wouldn't enjoy the waffles. He'd just rather take it with him and eat it in the car, I'm guessing. And I'm sure you could do that! (Plus there's outside seating and on a warmer day, that's another option.)
The staff was really friendly and very helpful given that it was our first visit. The guy who greeted us asked if it was our first time there, and my friend and I both answered that it was. He explained the waffles to us and how to order. He invited us to look over the menu and come back and order when we were ready. We took the menus and found a really cute table at the back of the restaurant. It took us a bit to make up our minds, but she settled on an Eggs Benedict and I had a Crowning Oak (strawberries, whipped cream, bananas, and almonds). They didn't have many options for coffee, so we both had a French press. (Honestly, more coffee options would have probably caused me to add another star. I'd really like it if this were more of a cafe atmosphere with some latte and espresso selections.)
The waffles didn't take long to make, but when we did finally get our food, we had to ask for our coffees. The girl had forgotten our coffees and brought them to us after we asked. In other words, they weren't exactly piping hot, but they weren't cold.
I didn't dislike my waffle, but it wasn't what I expected. I think I'd have liked it better if I ordered something else. It's my own fault for not looking closely at the menu before I went. I wanted eggs with it, but not Eggs Benedict. I didn't realize it was more of a dessert place than a breakfast cafe. They do offer some savory options, but it's very limited. And that's not bad. That's just not what I was looking for. Next time I go back (if I go back; after all, I don't live in Texas), I will know what I'm getting and adjust my expectations accordingly. And if I go again, I'll order something with Nutella.
