The restaurant is plainly decorated with about a dozen tables. We timed our visit perfectly since it seemed that soon after we arrived the lunch crowd began arriving, which quickly created a wait. We ordered the Eggs Benedict, which cooked perfectly and were topped with a well-executed béarnaise sauce. We also ordered a Meat-Lover's Omelette that was generously stuffed with various meats. We also ordered a stack of blueberry pancakes that were light and fluffy in the middle with slightly-crisp edges. Delicious all around. Service was attentive and efficient. The staff seemed to have multiple roles as you would expect in a small/family-run restaurant. I highly recommend you stop here for breakfast or lunch and enjoy delicious food in a simple atmosphere.

The hashed browns were greasy, biscuit was laden with margarine, and my scrambled eggs were slimy. My husband's breakfast was not much better. He had his grits w no butter since they only have margarine (which we all agreed was fake food). Our initial instinct on being seated was to leave, we should have listened to that inner voice. We wont be back.

We waited in a line that wrapped around the front but it was beautiful weather outside so we didn't mind. Once inside the vibe was friendly and helpful. We placed our order and waited in one of funky decorative rooms. My coffee was delicious. It was made just sweet enough. I had asked for half sweet and they delivered. They also had a lot of pastries and desserts. We had two of them. The red velvet dessert was a keeper. The prices are what you would expect. Not cheap but not overpriced either. Recommended.

First, my drink was a Dirty Chai Latte which I have had in many places from coast to coast. This was among the best! Rich creamy and the perfect amount of Chai flavor. Excellent pick me up! Even got a little art on top! What a nice touch and it made me smile! Then came the bagel!! I don't know how they make these in the back but oh my god it was so good! I didn't get the usual jaw work out you get with many bagels. These were so soft and delicious. I chose the everything bagel with lox, capers, red onion and tomato. I forgot to ask for cream cheese but I was half way finished before I even noticed! It was delicious!! The service was really great! Friendly staff! This place really caters to the whitewater community, and has such a laid back vibe! Lots to look at and the whole place is a coffee shop, vintage apparel store, and kayaking and camping outfitter. It wasn't in full swing when we were there but outside is super cool! It looks like they host live music on the little stage outside and there is plenty of outdoor space to sit. There is a pizza place next door. This is the place to come after a long day of high adventure. Get here for these bagels and coffee!! Will definitely be back!!

Located at the top of a hill from one of the lakes boat ramps, this quaint spot is perfect for supporting local.

Eggs, crispy bacon, toast served with warm melty butter to spread and cheesy hash browns were all delicious. I also tried their jalapeño grits which were yummy too.
