Sweet Sue's Phoenicia

This place is a hidden gem, we drive nearly 2 hours to check it out. Made a day trip of it and this was a wonderful way to start the morning. They have the best staff, Kathy was our server but all were terrific. Hats off to the kitchen staff, literally the best Huevos Rancheros I’ve ever had. The homemade pickled jalapeños, the sauce, the beans and cojita cheese…Oh my! Plus the latkes with house made smoked salmon was incredible too. The waffles, pancakes were all amazing and we can’t wait to go again. Thank you all for a wonderful experience.

EXCELLENT BREAKFAST! While vacationing in the Catskills for Memorial Day, we stopped at Sweet Sue's. The service was fantastic and the food was unique and delicious. The eatery had a small town feel and the food was artisan and unlike traditional diners. Definitely worth stopping.

After years of eating at Phoenicia Diner, we decided to try a new brunch spot and I’m SO glad we found Sweet Sue’s! I just had the best pancakes. We got the flavorful monkey pancake and the smoked brisket hash. Both were delicious, hot, and made with fresh ingredients. Under new management, the atmosphere, service and food were spot on! We will definitely be back.

Cute breakfast place with a large variety of pancakes, my favorite being the ricotta ones. I also got an omelette with mushrooms and leeks but it was a bit on a greasy side, while home fries were slightly dry. Overall - good size portions at a reasonable price. Friendly and attentive service but a bit on a slower side. They also have outside seating, which is a nice bonus.

Pleasant surprise addition to Phoenicia. Don’t know why I missed it but luckily found this cute cafe on the main retail strip in town. The coffee is locally roasted and worth the Java jolt. The veggie omelette and summer peach cobb salad was amazing. And pastries are a must. This will be my go to stop every time I am in the area.

I came in for breakfast on a beautiful sunny Sunday morning. I ordered a cappuccino that was too strong for me but I added milk to it and it got better. I ordered The Hog Johnson which was HUGE. The bacon was not crispy and I ordered side crispy bacon which they made to perfection. My boyfriend ordered the brisket skillet and it wasn’t his favorite because it was a kinda dry. I tried it too and it was not that great. We didn’t try the famous Pancakes but next time we will. Overall, our waitress was attentive but our food took like half an hour to come out and it was not packed at the time. It was a cute spot nonetheless.

Impromptu early lunch with a friend set on trying the “new” local, reopen ,new owner and new menu ..Sweet Sues. I was very hungry if not hangry after a tough morning. My friend was still full from breakfast but game for an adventure. The layout was quite different, from previous owners , as seating was more outside than in. There was A specific area with registers and happy staff to take your order. ( they do have table service) I chose to wait for my friend for our choice of in or out. Meanwhile I ordered an omelet with mushrooms and cheese. I asked for sourdough bread specifically because it can be tolerable with a GF diet. I was told they had sourdough. I ordered a cappuccino. The cappuccino was delivered at the counter in an 8 ounce glass sans handle. It was very hot. I grabbed some napkins to wrap around the tasty and well made cappuccino. I had to side step over to the sugar and various milk offerings. (To be noted there were no tea offerings , like black tea, available ) they offer Green tea with mint iced and various coffees & Mexican sodas Finally leaving the lopsided table outside we opted for the very nice large tables with metal stools. I found the chilled free water dispenser, silverware and napkins. Getting settled my omelet arrived .. I was immediately disappointed. It was way over done and in puddles of grease. The bread may or may not have been sourdough but it was a Lower quality bread, heavy and not convincing as a sourdough. I couldn’t eat the omelet or the toast. I drank the coffee which was well made and tasty.. (I need a handle on a hot drink unfortunate spills happened) My friend thoroughly enjoyed her salad including spinach ,beet root ,Vidalia onions grilled, goat cheese and walnuts. Her salad was huge and lovely. The dressing was also to her liking maple syrup being an ingredient. As they are new and just getting started I paid for my bill and I didn’t want any replacements. They were very gracious and tried to meet where I was. The waitstaff did a good job.

The town of Phoenicia is a hidden gem. Sweet Sue's is known for it's pancakes and they're are plentiful (try the cornmeal type) so don't get the full order unless you're very hungry. Service is also on point and friendly!

We had been the famous Phoenicia Diner a few times and wanna try something else. So we went to the downtown, which is off Route 28. There are a few humble eateries in the small downtown of Phoenicia and Sweet Sue's is one of them. This cute place has an interesting menu, which is full of surprises. It is so hard to decide since I would like to try couple items, which were new to us or nice seasonal special. The seasonal peach pancakes tasted awesome. Combination of fruits and flowers matches the flavor of fresh peaches. The Labneh was new to us. The tomatoes were so flavorful. I would love to come again.

Great breakfast spot with friendly staff. Had pancakes and juevos rancheros. Both were delicious. Price is a little on the high side for the portion size but the flavor is definitely there. Great coffee too. Easy street parking

We were in Woodstock and we needed to find somewhere to eat. While driving around I remember my brother taking us to Sweet Sues's, about 30 years ago. So with RV and Freckles in tow, off we went to Phoenicia. I remember the town being so quaint and beautiful-like a little Swiss Chalet! We were able to park the monster right on the street. It was a beautiful warm day snd there were tables with umbrellas outside as well as on the porch. So we took the Freck and seated ourselves outside. The menu was more gourmet than I remembered. The inside had a coffee bar and a larger seating area. My brother told me that they were not the original owners. Someone quickly brought out water for the dog and we ordered coffee, which was served with half and half. David ordered the Ranchero breakfast with tortillas, beans and fried eggs. It was delicious but a little messy for him. I had the classic breakfast, eggs, sugared bacon, home fries and a piece of delicious bread. I always share my food with Freckles. This was perfect for me and I enjoyed it very much. I would definitely recommend this lovely and quaint restaurant if your in the area! We love supporting our local community businesses where ever we may go!

Great menu and ambiance while it lasted. The coffee was brewed right from local roasters, and baked good deserving of more recognition. Service was decent but may have been the challenge of a new place. Will be missed but memories live on.

We decided to come here for breakfast before our ski time over at Belleayre, Walking into the restaurant, it was very spacious and the waitress, Pearl, was very friendly and attentive. I ordered the marinated tofu with potatoes over fried crispy kale chips and it came with a side salad, Wow the presentation was amazing and the taste of this vegan dish was very clean and delectable. My son got the blueberry pancake and while he said it was very fluffy, it felt very dense at the same time. My wife got the pastrami hash dish which also came with a side salad. Her only complaint about that dish was that the pastrami wasn't hot enough temperature wise. That really was the only complaint. She also ordered a lavender latte which she liked but could've been warmer. So other then the temperature issue with my wife's order, we would still recommend this place.

Stopped by on our (my wife and I) last day in Phoenicia. Was on the list of places to go to while on our trip to the Catskills. The place and ambience was great- relaxing breakfast. Service was very good for only having one waitress inside. Food came out fast. My wife had the breakfast sandwich with egg, sausage, a hash brown and arugula on it, it looked good. I had the salmon over latke and 2 blueberry pancakes. The salmon was very overpoweringly fishy, not really smoky to me. But it paired well with the sauces provided. The Latke was very soggy to me as well. The pancakes were very fluffy and very good; was expecting blueberries in the batter though, they were just on top of the cakes. Over all I think this is a great place to get variety, they seem to have different menus from time to time. There were things I saw on Yelp that I wanted that were not on the menu.

By way of Google maps and Instagram this establishment is permanently closed. No one answered the phone when I called.

Food was good. 20% tip was included...service was slow and food took an hour to come out they don't set tables or give you water unless you ask. Out of the 8 people who dined only 5 enjoyed their meal the rest didn't like what they got. Menu is small. Matcha pancakes are amazing. So are the hash browns. They don't have many gluten-free options other than 2 things on the menu. Nice ambiance.

First the servers moved us from our original table for another group. I understand mistakes are made but it was rude, then our drinks came out and instead of iced tea I was given sour lemonade. We didn't get water until we asked. Our food took over an hour to come out and when it came to us only half the table got food. The rest of us waited even longer for our food. We came for breakfast and ended up eating at lunch time. Unbelievable. I was tempted to leave several times. McDonald's has better service than this joke of a restaurant. - update. I actually feel bad about my review. So I'm coming back to add to it. The food was great, just the service was lacking a bit. As I work in a restaurant I understand the struggle as towards the end of our time there the other servers caught on to us not having food and rushed to get it to us. I would just say they be more communicative. Great food though, hope they learn and do well in the future.

Duke Ellington arranged a song his son Mercer wrote, which became a standard for the Orchestra: "Things ain't what they used to be." That sums up my impression of this restaurant. For many years I went to the original Sweet Sue's. Over that time the chef in the kitchen changed, but the food remained consistently great. About two years ago, Sue closed the pancake parlor, then sold it. I was one of a legion of fans who eagerly awaited its reopening. I expected change, of course. When it reopened, I was one of a multitude grateful to see it reopen. I went there the day it opened, and bought a chicken sandwich and a coffee, and was underwhelmed: expensive prices are okay, but if you charge a premium price, you have to deliver a premium product. Twenty bucks for a decent sandwich and a cup of coffee is too much. But I remained eager to see breakfast served again; that was where Sue earned her chops. I had breakfast there today, and I am very disappointed. The prices remain high, the product remains mediocre. I really want to give two and a half stars, but Yelp doesn't allow half stars. I give three instead of two because I remain optimistic the food will improve, but I have my doubts. As a jazz aficionado, I approve of improvisation and change. I welcome change. But if you improvise, you got to deliver the goods; otherwise, why bother? If you can't do better than the master, follow the master's recipe. What really matters is the product, not the artist (or the chef). I am really disappointed. I'll go back, of course, but I can't recommend this joint. Things ain't what they used to be.

We had a great experience here. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. The pancakes were excellent and as I said "life changing." We had an issue with a few bees and without hesitation they relocated us (and our pup) inside so we were comfortable. Top notch! Would love to come back. Oh and the latte was AMAZING

Sweet Sues back in action. Interior renovations are simple and clean but totally different from its days gone by. Space is designed to keep a flow of customers moving rather than dine in the former cozy boothes/ tables. Personally, i like to stay awhile, relax and enjoy my meal indoors but there are a few tables outside. Waffle with choice of bananas foster or glazed strawberries was delicious as was the egg scramble on a fresh chibatta roll. Disappointed no pancakes yet.

My daughter Hannah and I went to Sweet Sue's this morning! First of all it is entirely different. The first room is just the Coffee Bar and two long high tables you can order at the counter and sit at. There is still seating outside. The second room has only 5 tables and 4 booths. No more being squished in which was nice. The menu is very limited. The pancakes are Sue's original recipe, lite and fluffy. Only now they are the the average size you would get in a diner. They used to cover the whole plate. There are only 4 choices. Red Monkey, Blue Monkey, Plain or Blueberry. The Red Monkey has strawberries and bananas. I only wanted Strawberries and I asked if I could have that. The server said sure. Hannah got the waffle and a side of Roasted Potatoes. The pancakes are $14.00 for 2. No matter which kind you choose. The Waffle was also $14.00. It was very good and about 6in x 4in. and came with fresh raspberries and whipped cream. I will pay any amount for good food. But, 2 pancakes for $14.00 was a bit much. And then when we got the check they charged me another $3.00 for 2 sliced strawberries. If I had gotten the strawberries and bananas it would have only been $14.00 I forgot to take a picture of the 6 slices of strawberry! All in all I am glad we went. However, we won't be going back! 1 waffle, 2 pancakes, side of strawberries, potatoes and 1 cup of coffee was $49.40 including tax and tip!! I have to say the service was excellent!! Those girls were working hard!!

Sweet Sue's is out of business. It was a wonderful place. Will be missed. A new restaurant Bettina's is in its place. Looks good. Haven't tried it.

What a lovely and delicious experience, to dine at Sweet Sue's in Phoenicia! Service is fast and friendly, the space is very open and good air conditioning. The menu items are creative without being weird, and the portions are generous without being too much. The WiFi password is clearly posted so I don't have to ask a special favor from the staff to get it. And overall I have a good, relaxed feeling about being here.

This use to be the go to place in Phoenicia and surrounds for many years. It was always packed. I hadn't been back for awhile. I was surprised the place was empty and at noon. Then I tried to eat the food and all became clear. They told me Sue retired in 2020. I ordered a mushroom egg sandwich. All of it was cold. The English muffin was so stale it could not be cut. I told the manager and all she said was she'd "talk to the kitchen." Hopefully, when it closes, and it will, and is bought, the new owners will try to bring it back to Sue's glory days. For now, stay away. Awful.

Overall a good experience - our server (strawberry-blonde haired) was delightful, food decent (although extremely stingy with the strawberries and syrup), and the newly-revamped decor is lovely. Our biggest complaint was that one of the other servers (dark haired lady) who was aggressively boorish, unpleasant and eye-wateringly rude. The simplest request such as where the restroom is located would get her rolling her eyes, glowering (the phrase 'face liked a slapped backside' sprang to mind), and generally displaying a distinct lack of professionalism and class. Everybody has their off days, but some of us went back this morning, and there she was again, spreading the love and being a ray of sunshine - not. What a shame that this great place is so dragged down by one churlish individual.

NOTE: The 4-star average for reviews of Sweet Sue's includes all the reviews from before it was closed and reopened. Since it has reopened it has been a total disaster. Buyer beware. I've been to Sweet Sue's three times since they've reopened. Each time has been a huge disappointment. While the food was decent, the service was exceedingly poor. Each of the three times I've been I have waited AT LEAST AN HOUR to be served. Last week I went in with my family and was seated right away. It was ten minutes before we were brought a carafe of water and asked for our drink order, but no one brought us glasses to pour the water into. After another ten minutes of no one checking on us, I got up and found some glasses on a side table and brought them back to out table. Ten minutes after that, two of four drinks in our order were brought to the table. My latte was not delivered, and I had to reorder it twice before it was. One of my guests asked for cream for her coffee. It was never brought, and no one would return to our table to check in, so I got up, walked to the server's station and got a carton of cream myself. Whatever. After an HOUR AND FIFTEEN MINUTES our food had still not been delivered. I had to get up and find someone to tell them. They promised it would be out in five minutes. Ten minutes later we still had no food. I decided it was time to leave. A couple of things: I understand that stuff happens. Once can be an off day. Twice can be a coincidence. But three times shows this is simply the norm for this establishment. It's not that they were overly busy or understaffed. Nobody cared. Plain and simply. When I go out, I want to enjoy the experience, not walk out angry and hungry with a disappointed family. I will not be back. There are not many breakfast places in the Catskills, so its a real shame this place is such a sh*tshow.

First time back since Sue sold the business. Not happy. New owners cutting corners. The quality of food was not the same. Hash browns out of the freezer, home fries burnt, missed the homemade turkey sausage (now just frozen sausage patties). The light fluffy delicious pancakes that kept us coming back were dense and missing flavor. Also missed some healthy choices Sue would offer. Now feels like an everyday diner. Not the place that you couldn't wait to get to hoping to get a seat. The only thing that felt the same was seeing Cathy. It's been a few years but when we walked in she remembered us. Always with a smile, attentive and makes you feel at home.

The food was delicious. Loved the small homey feel of the restaurant. The waitress was very nice and attentive.

Very racist place. Did not want to seat us together or separately, nor let order take out. Everything was met with resistance. Any additional order requests were met with an attitude and eyeroll. Was told 25 minutes for the food order but waited an hour which made us late to our rail explorers appointment. They also made us wait outside in the rain like dogs. Will never recommend this place nor eat there again!

Food was really good, we got the chili laboneh eggs and brisket with potatoes, egg and salad + pancakes. Service was good as well although our Irish coffees (not really suggested) came shortly before our food arrived. The staff was great/polite. My only suggestion is to see if any efficiencies can be found with coffee station staff - timing there didn't totally make sense and place was not busy.

We had great breakfast!!The service was excellent I had The best huevos rancheros. Definitely going back when we are in the area

We were there for a soft open at the cafe. Food was fine. A few mistakes with the order. Then we went for the hard open and that was worse. Server spilled things, it was a long time getting cleaned up. Everything took a long time. Even paying the bill was difficult.

The food was good, but the 1 star should tell you what you need to know about everything else. Read the recent reviews. Sounds like it has reopened and they have serious operational issues. Despite having a limited menu, it took about an hour for our food. The table next to us had to get it all to go because someone had to leave for an appointment because it took so long. Staff seemed to sort of be trying, but every table was getting really frustrated at the wait times.

The yummiest food, service was excellent and the drinks were so good. First time in Phoenicia and I will definitely be back with friends to Sweet Sue's.

I've been waiting for sweet sue to re open because I was really excited to eat here but now I'm just disappointed/mad. The waffles were good but when she asked if I wanted "FRESH STRAWBERRIES " they were soggy and gross! I had to pay for that! The waffle should be a little bigger. For $12 that's a bit much. At this point you should go to the store and make yourself waffles at home and ACTUALLY HAVE FRESH STRAWBERRIES with It!

Very accommodating staff and the wait time was very minimal compared to other places for our big group of 7. Food was delish and all of us ordered an entree and a half! Our table was too small to accommodate all of our food. I had the breakfast tacos and it was great with the maple bacon. I shared the ricotta pancakes with a friend and it was so fluffy and creamy and cooked perfectly! My boyfriend ordered the chorizo hash and I wish I had that whole plate. We all left happy and full! It was a good mix of patrons coming in and out of the restaurant, locals and out of towners like us; which is a good indication of a good brunch spot.

My entire experience here was amazing, first let me begin with their customer service. The staff was extremely friendly, making a visitor feel like they're a part of this small town. My server made lively conversation, recommendations, and was so sweet to my dog. This place truly made pet owners feel at home, not only did they pet her they brought her a bowl of water and made sure she was as comfortable as any patron. I felt right at home! Now as we begin to talk about the food, let me tell you I was not disappointed by their recommendations. I didn't even know what I was ordering, I just asked for the most popular item and it was truly unique and scrumptious. I had the ricotta pancakes, with strawberries and lemon sauce, an item I would never think to order. But my server was right, it was definitely worth trying and I really enjoyed it. This place was so great, I come here every morning when I'm staying in the Catskills.

They were out of the ricotta for ricotta pancakes.... Heaaaart breaking. But we went with banana pancakes instead. Huuuuge portion but so so so delicious!! We also ordered a omelet with goat cheese and caramelized onions which was also tasty but (no surprise) the pancakes were the most memorable. Cash only! Worth a stop

A couple of issues I ordered red monkey pancakes - on the menu with Red raspberry- got strawberry pancakes in the batter instead. Waitress said is it was a typo on the menu The blueberry pancakes we're buttermilk but the blueberries were on the side; Not in the batter. Overpriced for what you get

Service was so slow. Took over an hour to get our food. We watched tables who got in after us get their food first. Something is definitely breaking down. There was only one waitress who was doing the best she could. Would not recommend unless you have over an hour to wait with nowhere / nothing to do later in the day.

Our breakfast was very good, but found it pricey ane not a great value. Two medium sized pancakes for $16. Good flavor but nothing special and unique like the old Sweet Sues. Also a very limited pancake menu. We also ordered the brisket hash which came with a small portion of meat. Potatoes were great but the meal itself felt overpriced. Also ordered a maple latte which came out luke warm. They served complimentary mini muffins after getting seated which is nice. Interior is very nice as well.

excellent service! amazing pancakes, chicken and waffles, and definitely order the special bacon!!!

My friend and I stopped in for brunch before going skiing at Hunter a short drive away. The menu was pretty amazing and had a range of savory and sweet options. Our food was delicious, the service was great, and the charming ambiance enhanced the experience. I would definitely seek this place again for a meal. Suggestion Box: Tree Juice maple syrup is local and comes in many flavors. While I enjoyed my meal I was pining for the lemon, bourbon, and vanilla varieties. Could be a good match?

Great service, very nice inside, food was fantastic. Espresso bar, the only one I saw around. Highly recommend the place.

Utterly incompetent service: 1) Our waitress stated they did not have cold brew when it was written on a chalkboard and other diners had it; 2) Lemon ricotta pancakes with blueberries had no blueberries. The same waitress stated they do mot come with blueberries when the special board clearly states it does. When asked for some kind of reduction given no blueberries were provided, I was told they "can't"; 3) Zero follow-up for additional coffee, water, or basic checking in if we needed anything; 4) All wait staff had a general sense of confusion bringing food to wrong tables etc. Plus, no one showed any effort to hustle. Finally, our waitress was bizarrely dressed in a crop top with visible belly fat. Just a strange look but accurately reflects the slovenly operation of this business. The incompetence is not limited to the front of house staff: 1) Hash browns completely inedible as they were soaking in grease; 2) Over a one hour wait for pancakes and eggs. It's a shame because Sweet Sue's was once a well run restaurant with delicious food. No longer

Came here because Emily (the owner of Provisions) recommended us to try it since we were staying in an AirBnB nearby! I saw the photos of the MASSIVE pancakes & I KNEW we had to try this place! I ordered the tofu scramble because tofu scrambles are always my favorite & also I'm gluten free so I got corn tortilla on the side & home fries! Food took an appropriate amount of time & it was DELICIOUS! My friends split the Fall Pancakes & it looked amazing & GIGANTIC! You definitely get a BANG for your buck here! Will come again next time I'm in the area :)

What a discovery this little gem is! Menu is amazing top to bottom- easily the go-to spot for breakfast and lunch. I'm not a big waffle fan per se, but the best waffle ever...legitimately lives up to its name! Coffee is great. Service is excellent. Do yourself a favor and check it out! You'll be back.

There was a table open and the server wanted us to wait for another table. She proceeded to sit us at the open table. Then dropped the utensil on the table and said it was because they were busy. Pancakes were ok, cost extra for more syrup. Eggs were burnt. Many of the coffee drinks they were out of. Not the old Sweet Sue's

Cute spot, in the town of Phoenicia. My bf has been telling me about this spot for quite some time. Service was great and food came out quickly! We ordered the breakfast taco, mushroom scramble, and a blueberry pancake. Everything was delicious, but the prices were a little bit over the top....breakfast for two people came out to $60+! Don't let that turn you away, I just like to post honest reviews. Pro tip: they are cash only.

Ordered chocolate pancakes and loved it. Very affordable. Only reason it's 4 stars is because it took a little too long for my food to come

The. Best. Pancakes. In. The. Catskills. This place looks like a hole in the wall from the outside but it a delightful place to have brunch. It is completely unpretentious and cozy. The servers are warm and friendly. Don't forget to head to an ATM before stopping in -- it is cash only.

Had an amazing breakfast at Sweet Sue's. We read the other recent review and did not experience this. The restaurant seating inside is "community seating" at large, long tables so you find a spot that's open. If you have a larger group, seating might be tougher. Either way, the food is excellent, service was great and you might make a new friend.

Was staying in Phoenicia for the weekend and had breakfast in this cute restaurant in the town. There were some eggs and other breakfast items on the menu, but it was predominantly pancakes so it seemed like the right way to go! The pancake offerings were illustrated on the wall and back of the menu which I thought was a really nice touch. I ended up with a seasonal special, the Pumpkin Pancake Sundae. I mean...?!!! The serving size was a heaping 2-3 plate sized pancakes per order, mine topped with apples and yogurt. I tried the Blue moneys as well which were more classic, and delicious. No matter how hungry we were, there was no way to clean plate club here- I would highly recommend sharing as we probably left more than 50% behind.. We overheard the woman next to us ask if she could order 1 pancake (so clearly that is an option that us out-of-towners did not know to consider)

Waited 30 minutes for a table - which didn't really bother us - kind of expected for a tourist brunch thing on a Sunday. We then waited almost 40 minutes for our food. The waitress was lovely and hustles big time, but kitchen was backed up I guess. My husband ordered the mushroom sandwich with hash browns and it was good. I ordered the labne eggs with sourdough. It was terrible - awful. I decided to order some blueberry pancakes because I couldn't eat the eggs. Initially they tasted very good but I then bit into a hunk of the flour in the batter. I had to spit it out. We won't be returning. Phoenicia diner all the way.

I have been to Woodstock many times, but never stayed in Phoenicia before. This time I did, the vacation rental place has a restaurant guide and highly recommended this place for pancake breakfast. I am so glad I come. The place is very pleasant, friendly staffs, and the Pancakes! 'Wow' is the word. The buttermilk pancake is fluffy and melt in your mouth. The breakfast is great, the turkey sausage pattie was so large like a burger. The favor was good. I am so glad I found them, I do not have to keep going back to the Phoenicia Diner. Not that it is not good, but the line could be long during peak hours. The food here is great too, and no waiting. If you love pancakes, you got to come here, there are more ways to eat pancakes than you can imagine!

Came here for brunch. We got the berry pancake and french toast. The quantity of the food was more than enough for one person. The peacan p pancake I got was alright, it was too dry for me, and the flavor was a bit too light. I really like the pancake tho, the berries in the pancake were very fresh. They also gave us a small plate of bacon, which were very tasty. The indoor decor was very cute. The waiters and waitresses were very friendly as well.

Came for a simple breakfast. The Good: amazing pancakes -- fluffy and moist. Excellent coffee. What everyone else was eating looked delicious, too. The Bad: Waitstaff needs some basic, remedial training in food-handling. When bringing clean, empty water glasses to the table, we do not stick our fingers inside to hold them together. Ditto, when clearing used drinking classes. I witnessed the same "technique" used by 2 different members of the waitstaff, and lost my appetite (no one in our group drank water from our glasses, and I don't know about how the staff handles other plates, cups, flatware etc. when serving or clearing, but even without a pandemic raging, really is that common sense??!) Here's a tip from someone who waitressed back in the last century, because germs have not changed their lifestyles: You do not handle plates or cups or utensils where customers' mouths have gone or will go. Also, we do not constantly touch our hair; if it falls in your face, it needs to be put up. If you both serve and clear, you need to wash your hands in between to avoid spreading disease. Please ask management and the CDC for a refresher. 5 stars for the food; 3 stars for the waitstaff.
