We got the patron tower, it was very good but VERY strong I couldn't drink it but it was tasty. The inside for the pop up is super cute, but I will say not worth the drive for us (an hour) it's super cute just I think may be over hyped online vs in person. If you're local, it's worth a try! However I wouldn't recommend traveling over 30 min

Since it was so early I was able to run in and park at one of the meter spots since they don't have parking. I think there is a lot next door. Unfortunately they only had one girl working the front and a chef in the back. I'd think for a weekend shift they would have two up front. I had to wait a little extra longer than expected when I had already paid and was far past my pick up time. The space seemed small but did have a handful of people. When I was leaving I realized there was a whole back part for seating. Not sure if I'd come back again considering I don't think their espresso machine has ever worked and breakfast sandwich was fair. Lots of great options on the menu though!

The space was diner-esque and felt relatively clean which overall was nice. Our orders were taken pretty quickly and the food was out in a reasonable time as well.

The booths are bright red and they have a long countertop where folks can eat at.

I've eaten both breakfast and lunch there and the food is great every time. It's got that old school comfort feel, portions are solid, everything comes out fresh just how you want it. The staff is super friendly and attentive, whole place has that welcoming vibe that keeps you coming back. It's the kind of spot you try once and already know you'll be back. If you get a chance in the late afternoon, check out Patrick's next door for a bar vibe. Both places do not disappoint.

It's an old-school diner setup where you can watch your food being cooked right in front of you, and there's something so comforting about the sizzle of bacon on the grill and the clatter of plates behind the counter. If you're lucky enough to swing by on the weekend, don't skip the fresh muffins. They're baked in-house and still warm when they hit the table--soft, flavorful, and perfect with a hot cup of coffee. Speaking of coffee, the staff here never lets your cup go empty. They're friendly, fast, and make you feel like a regular, even if it's your first time. Portions are generous, the food is consistently delicious, and the prices are more than fair. It's no wonder people keep coming back. Whether you're craving classic eggs and toast or something heartier, Franny's delivers every time. A true local favorite.

The charm is in its no-fuss interior with Sicilian accents, Italian sodas, and a few imported products that make you feel like you stumbled into a Sons of Italy gathering at the VFW in 1975. The name implies seafood, but that seems more of a nod to the Italian island than a specialty food. There were not a lot of pastry selections, but the cake slices that were there looked good and there was a limited, fresh menu including a lovely caprese panini we got To Go. This is not a hipster barista latte art remote work kind of place, but it is certainly a unique retro experience and obviously a neighborhood gem that has stood the test of time. Bene.
