Anytime there's a cute cafe serving up tasty breakfast foods, you can count me in! From the great…read moreservice to dishes made with locally sourced ingredients, the experience here was great. We unknowingly arrived 30 minutes before close, but the staff was super nice and welcomed us in with no rush. It was still pretty full inside and made for a nice, chatty place to go with family or friends. The menu definitely had something for everyone- all of the options looked great, so it was really hard to choose what to order! We started with coffee before ordering the garden frittata and the biscuits and gravy. The coffee was actually very good- they had a seasonal hazelnut flavor that I really enjoyed. I was expecting the frittata to be fluffy like a quiche, but it was more like a circular shaped veggie scramble. It was pretty standard, but definitely hit the spot. The sourdough bread served alongside was outstanding, however. It tasted super fresh and very homemade. The biscuits and gravy were very flavorful and not too greasy. Given the portions and quality, the price is very reasonable. Would definitely return and recommend making a visit!

It looks like they stole all the kitchen tables:chairs from my childhood. With soft blend of music and a TV playing to keep the mood engaging. Everyone was there for something but yet again maybe they were there to find something. Either way, I am sure you can find it here. One concern is that it is a little pricey but you get one trip around the sun. And, since they played Tom Petty, then there is not much to worry about anyhow!!

They're right off the side of the highway located near the college, hospital and hotel. So that is convenient. They have a wide selection of coffees and ice cream which I'm assuming they are known for. The iced coffee is really good! I also ordered a chicken, tomato and mozzarella sandwich. Wasn't as appealing to look at but it is good for what's around here especially during the Covid-19 situation. Also it comes with a side of fruit which was super tasty and refreshing. Totally will be coming back next time I am around.
