This place was so great!! Huge menu w so many choices. The eggs Benedict all looked good but I went w a lemon pancake. The smell was so good everyone commented. The portions are almost double what you can eat. The French toast bread was so big I had not seen bread that big. The atmosphere was brought and clean. The service was quick and patient and friendly. We were sat very quickly for a Sunday at 10a. The drinks were served in cool tall glasses. The fresh fruit was real unfrozen fruit. The syrup was clean! The tables were well made and not wobbly. This is a definite repeat location.

Classic diner experience. Reminds me of Denny's when I was a kid. Huge portions, seriously consider splitting an entree. Delicious and live's up to the photo. Thank you for the great breakfast I almost couldn't finish.

The wife and I stopped her for breakfast before heading back home to Arizona. She had the meat lovers skillet and I had the French toast. The food came out fast, hot and absolutely delicious! The service was excellent! We will be coming back here next time we are in town.

Eat here now. Great restaurant. Food and service are top notch. Great coffee, delicious meals, attentive and fast service. Awesome for families, small groups, large groups, whoever you are. Tons of dining space, comfortable seating, great ambiance. Jazz music in the background is a perfect touch for breakfast. Better service than 5-star hotels.

Very charming location. Sat at the bar and enjoyed a tasty coffee and fresh fruit. I don't usually like sweets much, especially for breakfast, but decided to try there cinna-cakes because I'd never seen that done before and it was hands down one of the best things I've ever eaten. Breakfast or otherwise. It was sweet, but not too sweet, wasn't messy or soggy, was just perfect pancakes with incredible flavor. Wish I lived here so I could have them again.

Get ready to enjoy a very delicious meal that is proportioned with extreme generosity. We ordered few meals here and we all left with big smiles on our faces and happy tummies. Staff are super and service and food are unbeatable. Highly recommend!!

Love the straight mimosa with all different flavors. The servers are fast and professional, tables are clean and food order was hot and fast. The pancakes are simply amazing and would recommend getting all the time. Loved the music and the atmosphere is a home feeling.

I got the iced pumpkin spice latte, and the sweet trio, phenomenal. Absolutely phenomenal. For seventeen bucks for the food and six for the drink, amazing. My boyfriend's mom got the mom omelette, delicious. My boyfriend's little brother got the full stack of blueberry pancakes, he loved them. Our server Kenny was great! He had great recommendations, I have a sweet tooth and he recommended the cinnamon pancakes and French toast. He very well deserved a good tip.
