It is spacious and very cute. The servers were very nice too. We only got takeout but they were wonderful the whole time we were there. There are some vegetarian options for those who need it. We ordered the spinach and cheese pie, the mixed cherry salad with grilled chicken, the Greek wrap, the old fashioned grilled cheese and the veggie burger. We had ordered one plate with chips and rest with fries. We got fries for all of them. But, apart from them, everything was exactly as we ordered. The grilled cheese had a sundried tomato sourdough bread which I really enjoyed. The wrap was stuffed and delicious. The burger was also really good. The salad was a big portion and pretty good. The pie was a little oily but otherwise also quite delicious. The food stayed pretty fresh even 4 hours later, when we actually ate it. I would recommend trying these guys out if you are in DeWitt.

I also really believe in supporting small businesses, local economy and diversity. However, I keep going back after being disappointed, and it doesn't get any better. The latest issue is that I had a $5 birthday coupon (which is only mediocre considering my average drink costs over $8, but OK, I know it's not Biggby). I got there the day after my birthday, which also happens to be smack in the middle of the holidays (between Xmas, Kwaanzaa and New Years Day) and was told it was NO GOOD. Unlike literally every other birthday offer that I get from this rewards program that restaurants use, it is not good for the month of your birthday, or even the week of your birthday, or even the day before and day after your birthday, but for ONE DAY only. On top of them not having one single vegan food item and also not allowing folx to post community announcements, this was the last straw for me. I will not return.

The spicy breakfast wrap was great, as were the home fries. The lemon blueberry muffin was perfection. Their bagels are always enjoyed and there is never a shortage of flavor options.

Solid local daytime diner. I've only ever been for breakfast which they do well…read more I'm a fan of the Midwestern omelet and rye toast. My mom likes the breakfast bowl, and the rest of the crew rounds out with pancakes, eggs, and meats. The dining room is pretty large, and they've got room to open up more in the back. Service is fast and friendly. They'll keep your coffee cup full and make sure you've got all you need with your meal. Nothing here is the best I've ever had, but everything is solid enough, and there are lots of local regulars who seem to agree.

The owner is charming and even brought out a water bowl for our dog. The inside of the place is very tasteful, but folks, it's all about the food! And to be more specific, the most wonderful milk bread EVER! It was delicate and crisp on our grilled cheese and hami sammi paninis. But then we ordered the ice cream and strawberry dessert. And it was over the most amazing thick slice of bread drizzled with sweet, crispy honey glaze. Thank heavens we only ate half our sandwiches and excellent tomato soup. If you've haven't been here for awhile, put it on your list. And if you're traveling through and are looking for a great non-chain experience, TOASTE is it.

Galley-like set up as you walk in. Breakfast diner vibes more than 'cafe and bakery'. Kitchen to your left as you walk down short corridor into cafe. Sloth-like chill attitude encouraged; the hashtag is #letshangtogether. Had fun looking at all the little sloth decor throughout. Lots of light and glass. VERY limited seating; seats about 15 (?) inside; mostly 2 tops and a 6 top. When we walked in, we were greeted warmly, permitted to sit where ever we would like, then handed menus. Turkish music playing was just a bit too loud. Hospitality. Friendly and helpful. Owner-chef seemed very happy to be there, singing and engaging with his regulars. Offerings. Basic breakfast and lunch items with Turkish and Mediterranean classics. No flavored lattes but other basic espresso drinks offered. Chai was excellent. Had the Turkish coffee because it was a Turkish joint; was REALLY good; strong. We had the Simit Platter; sesame-like NY bagel, feta chunks, and olives. All very good. See pics. Apparently they offer cooking classes, catering, and meal prep pick-up -- for ever-changing healthier, fresh, easy-prep take-out options. Of Note and Last Impressions. Lot parking. Overall, fun.

It was tasty and even better with the bread they provided. It could've been packaged in a better way because the oil dripped out everywhere by the time we got it home. Maybe a plastic container with a tight fitting lid. The mezze platter was also quite nice, especially the carrot appetizer. The bulgur patties were also flavorful. The artichoke was slightly disappointing because it didn't have any other flavor than salt and vinegar, similar to canned/bottled artichokes. The salad was fresh and the dressing was light. Overall, this was a light and tasty lunch.

It's tasty and filling and satisfies my cravings every time. Go here! Support local!

She found Freshies, just two miles off our route, and said it looked like a local spot with sourdough and sandwiches. That was all I needed to hear. Let me just say--I'm so glad we made the detour. I ordered the Spicy Secilia, and while I forgot to snap a pic (rookie move), both of us were blown away. Warm, toasted, stacked with flavor and texture. I'm usually an Italian cold cut guy and never go for turkey... but I'd order this again without hesitation. It just works. The pic I did get? That's the pepperoni and bacon pizza--$11 of pure win. This is what every frozen Stouffer's wishes it could be. Crispy crust, great sauce, clearly made fresh and with care. Totally hit the spot. If you're passing through, Freshies is absolutely worth the stop. Great food, local vibes, and I can't wait to dig into the cheddar bacon sourdough, chocolate croissant, and cinnamon rolls I grabbed to-go. Support small. Eat well. Highly recommend.
