Took my partner here for their birthday and it was just as good as the reviews say. The food was…read moreamazing and the portions were huge. About average price for the amount of food you get. One meal was enough to feed me all day, and the Spanish coffee I got was mixed perfectly. Seats are extremely limited, but the service was super fast so even with a full plate you get in and out comfortably in under an hour. Other reviews mention rude service staff, but my experience was the total opposite. I wish I could've gotten her name to give her a shout-out. :) I do have to mention the lack of parking. There were still empty tables when the parking lot was already completely full. There were maybe eight parking spots altogether, but that would be my only complaint.

Oh my gosh I don't know where to start! Everything I ordered was a solid 10/10 & that doesn't…read morehappen too often LOL. Started out with the giant tower of whip cream'd hot chocolate! House made of course so it's even better than the store bought stuff in my opinion because it tastes like actual chocolate. I ordered the filet minion chicken fried steak and it was cooked to perfection. So juicy inside and crispy but not like overly cooked crispy on the outside! Topped with a hot gooey layer of house made sausage gravy. The overall size of this steak was about as big as my face. To complement this enormous steak was eggs, a biscuit & some smashed Yukon potatoes..like they were literally small potatoes they just smashed which was really different to me because I've never seen that before. I also had to order the infamous cinnamon roll pancake I been seeing floating around on other people's reviews. IT IS A MUST.. and if you are ordering it to take home make sure you have a piece of it while it's still hot and fresh because that was to die for. I won't go more into detail about it you just have to try it. It will speak for its self. Overall the dinning experience was great! Servers were more than happy to get you whatever you need. We sat at the bar so y'all should try their drinks because they looked so good and the bartenders looked like they were having fun making them. The restaurant is a literal house and while charming it is small and packed inside and the parking lot is also really small so you may need to get there early or expect to park somewhere else in the streets. We got there an hour after they opened and it was only a 30 minute wait thankfully. Will be coming back again to try other menu items!

I mean really, how can you be so petty? I ordered a 6.00 strawberry lemonade that equates to a…read moremedium drink anywhere you go, and I asked for them not to add ice. So what happens? I get 1/3 of a drink. I've been in the restaurant industry for over 20 years and I have absolutely zero patience nor empathy for places like this. I paid 6.00 for a small drink that was mediocre at best because they don't know how to balance lemonade with simple syrup or strawberry juice. We won't be ordering from here again and I'd suggest you didn't either. Also, medium poached eggs have a runny yolk: if you put poached eggs on your menu at least do them properly. We got hard poached.

My boyfriend and I stopped here during a road trip from Southern California all the way up to the…read morePacific Northwest Peninsula, and we're currently making our way back down. We always try to find good local spots along the way, and I'm so glad we decided to stop here because this place was SO good! There are plants everywhere, which I loved, and it just has such a welcoming feel to it. I got the steak and eggs and asked for my steak medium rare, and they cooked it perfectly! Honestly, probably one of the best breakfasts I've had in a while. We also got the honey peach latte and had it made half sweet, and it was amazing. I'm also a sucker for fresh baked goods, so when I saw they had fresh-baked cinnamon rolls, I had to snag one for the road. Overall, we're really happy we decided to make this our stop. Everything was great from the food and coffee to the atmosphere and service. We're definitely saving this spot for the next time we're road tripping through the area. If you're passing through and need a breakfast stop, definitely give this place a try.

None of the trendy hipster "coolness" that has come to rankle me in other popular coffee shops. I've had some delicious pastries and excellent drinks, including coffee and non-coffee specialties like their golden milk latte which is unique and amazing. Comfy space, high ceilings , exposed brick. My only feedback is that they serve their bagels to go with a cup of cream cheese and a sliced bagel. This is common, but I don't understand why anyone would want to spread cream cheese on their own bagel when they're on the road. It would be like ordering a sandwich and a stack of meat, cheese, lettuce, and bread and asked to assemble that while you're driving. That's literally my only complaint and it's a small one. I will be a Regular at this coffee shop, bagels be damned! lol.

There's normal tables, taller stools for window seating, and a few couch chairs too. The person that helped me at the counter was super helpful. There are lots of options with desserts, pastries, toast, bagels, sandwiches, soups, parfaits, and whole meals like biscuits and gravy. They have a good amount of vegan and gluten then friendly alternatives too. The prices were a steal for the portions I got -especially the toast and chia pudding. The coffee was also pretty good, nothing to write home about. I'll have to come back to try some of their bagels next time.

Initially I had picked out another place but decided to stop here instead cause it was a bit closer. You can tell this is the place that's like "If you know, you know." People came in and everyone was on a first name basis. It was really pleasant to see! Now onto the food. Absolutely amazing! I got the hobo omelette with a side of biscuits and gravy. Hands down the best biscuits and gravy I've ever had! And the omelette was dang good too! It's a small place with not a lot of seating but it's definitely worth it to venture in if you're in the area. I wish there was one closer to me. Service was stellar.

This place probably gets quite busy on the weekends and to maximize spacing, table seating is packed tightly, so if you don't like to snuggle up to a total stranger, than this place might not be for you. The service by our server, Micah, was friendly and efficient. The overall make-up of patrons on this Monday morning, was a good mix of regulars, that the servers knew by name, visitors from nearby hotels and everyday folks with business to do in Downtown. My wife ordered the French Toast sandwich which definitely pass the eye test. I ordered the House made Corned Beef Hash. Both dishes hit the spot for tastiness and overall breakfast satisfaction. If available street parking is available and the wait is less than 15 minutes, than I would recommend this place for you.
