The coffee-to-flavor ratio was perfect, and everything was made with high quality ingredients. The hash brown was delicious too, and I would definitely come back for both. The atmosphere was probably my biggest hesitation. Even though it wasn't particularly busy when we visited, it was loud and a little overstimulating. The space also felt somewhat cluttered, almost like they had everything you need, but hard to find where things would be. It could have been a little cleaner as well. There is some nice outdoor seating, which I really liked. The service wasn't bad, but it didn't feel especially warm or welcoming either. The barista seemed fairly disengaged (but she did make a great coffee). I think this would be a nice place to meet up with a friend for a coffee and something to eat. I probably wouldn't choose it as a place to work. Overall, the food and coffee were great so I'm glad we stopped in. I just wish the atmosphere and customer service matched the quality of what they're serving!

He said these are hands-down one of the two best restaurants for pancakes he has ever been to. (The other is in Washington DC). The Klompen cakes with blueberries were light, fluffy, and delicious. I even had half of one of his (he ordered three!) and was incredibly impressed. I got the veggie power blend skillet (sauce on the side) with two poached eggs. I only added salt and pepper, it did not even need the sauce that came with it, it was that good. The orange juice was truly fresh squeezed, the latte was good and the coffee was strong. Overall, an excellent experience. The only drawback to our breakfast experience was not being able to have real maple syrup with the pancakes. Kristin, a thoughtful and attentive server, explained that they used to have this as an option, but no longer do. We highly recommend if you are in the area!

I drove up and loved the spacious parking lot. Walking in, the bakery was well lit and clean, and a bit overwhelming. They had so many kinds of baked goods, including some Dutch specialties like banket. (I honestly have no idea what that is but I know it's a Dutch pastry.) You can order 2, 3, 5, or 12 tenders at a time, and you can get them as a combo (with fries and a drink) or just by themselves. I opted for two tenders, one plain and one with original dry rub which is kind of like a ranch flavor. I also ordered a Diet Coke. The food didn't take too long to come out, and the tenders were hefty and super crispy. I liked the dry rub, but I think I'd just go with plain next time because they have the most delicious honey mustard. The Diet Coke was also super crispy and this was such a nice snack. They also have a menu of breakfast options like egg sandwiches, bagels, avocado toast, etc. The lunch menu is rounded out with salads, sandwiches, and mac and cheese. If I lived nearby I think I'd be a regular here!

GO HERE - Caribbean Sunrise is fantastic!! It feels like walking into your dream-favorite, neighborhood café. Place your order at the counter and choose a table in the bright, cozy dining area. Your food will be brought out in reasonable time, with excellent service. The local owners have a beautiful origin story of how their restaurant came to be. Ask them about it Most importantly - food, value, and service are all exceptional!! Of growing importance to many people, is cost. I'm glad to report that the prices and proportions are both reasonable. The food is expertly prepared, served in moderate portions (really enough for one), and the prices reflect that - you pay less. We ate everything on our plates and were pleasantly content! I've only eaten here a few times, so I haven't had the whole menu, I confess, but both times I came with friends/family and tried many dishes - and pastries (get one on your way out, you'll thank me later ). My personal favorites (so far) are Mofongo with roasted pork, and Caribbean Hash with a little of the homemade mango-habanero sauce!! Caribbean Sunrise is an incredible taste experience. Its Puerto Rican roots, twisted up with Latin, American, and other Caribbean flavors, make it a unique and exceptional addition to our community!! read more

While we'll miss Jackie's, we're thrilled that the de Boer's have created a new, modern, fresh, open, clean, and well-appointed space. The décor is so inviting that when you walk in, you already feel at home. And yes, the Shore's menu lives up to the de Boer expectations/hype and has plenty of tasty selections. We enjoyed (understatement) the Dutchman omellete, wrap, and açaí bowl. Similar to the north and south side locations, the de Boer's attention to every detail continues here, at the Shore. Fresh squeezed OJ, well presented plates, attentive staff, and all the other "little things" make dining at the Shore a true pleasure. We were even seated by a younger de Boer family member; she checked in on us to ensure that we were having a "wonderful" experience. And yes, if you're still reading, everything was wonderful. We look forward to our next wonderful Shore dining experience!

They were a little sweet and paired nicely with the sharp tang of the feta. We also split the Dune sandwich. Big fans! The turkey was warm, the focaccia was light and fluffy.

Further reading into the history of place, I found that this place has been around since the 1940s. A cool history and the curiosity for the long lines brought us to be one of those people standing in line one morning. First of all, I am slightly terrified of diners thinking the service would be bad but from the moment we were greeted to when we left the place, the atmosphere has been very welcoming and friendly. Our waitress sat us at a small booth close to the kitchen. I ordered coffee and their bird nest thinking... it should be fine, it's a bird nest, not a full blow whatever other huge breakfast plates they have! I was wrong. My husband ordered their famous hashbrown omelette that I felt could have fed an entire village! My bird nest came. My eyes got really big because honestly, it was the size of an eagles' nest. I apologized profusely for not finishing and since it was our last full day before moving on from Holland, I couldn't take the leftovers home. My husband felt the same way but he at least ate half of his food. To me, I think my food needed a bit more flavor but they have salt and pepper on the table. We noted that there seemed to be a lot of regulars or repeat customers. No doubt, this place is a very nostalgic place for a lot of people who have moved away or have visited here previously. To be honest, even though it was only our first visit, the people made us feel at home.
