A nice find. Great omelets with homemade potatoes, homefries perfectly prepared. Good fresh brewed coffee in a friendly relaxed atmosphere. Located in what appears to be an old townhouse or home.

This is our go to place for breakfast and lunch. Doesn't look like much from the outside but the food is great and service excellent. Real maple syrup is available. Best in the area.

Amazing! The service was quick, the server did an amazing job, including a silly personal request. Also the fries were REALLY good, so don't pass up on those. Do yourself a favor and check out the good eats here.

AMAZING experience here! First lets talk about the food, we had breakfast and the omelet was yellow 100%, not a speck of brown. That in itself takes less than 1 second. If you keep it on even a second longer eggs will burn! Fluffy filled and delicious! Potatoes were real and corned beef hash is homemade! The service was excellent and the atmosphere was homy. Def will go here again!

I came by for the first time to get a carry out order. I walked in, made my order, and left within 10-15 minutes. It was so easy and the good was really good. I liked my Eggs Benedict and French toast! Netta was very kind and personable. I ate all the food and even the raspberry bar, so you'll have to settle for photos of the menu!

Was in the area housesitting. Friend told me to check this place out, she had never been. Ordered The Works Omelet, a side of hash, coffee and tomato juice. Coffee was really good, cups were so full I could barely put in creamer. Hash was phenomenal. And I'm not just saying that, I had to take a picture. It's homemade. Nice chunks of corned beef, potatoes and onions. Easily some of the best homemade hash I've had in a while. The Works Omelet had bacon, ham, sausage and "a variety of sautéed veggies". Seeing big chunks of real mushroom, yellow pepper, and even some tomato was a nice surprise. Most importantly, they have Apple Jelly! It's been so hard to find that in breakfast places. 100% will be making a trip here again. Great food, very friendly staff, and a nice atmosphere.
