My fiancé is a pancake critic and unfortunately they were a miss. I like a thinner more well done pancake where we received a thicker more soft one. That's just our preference. The eggs Benedict are always on point!!! Their croissants are also to die for! Coffee is good but I would like to see some nondairy creamer? It's hard to find a place that carries any. I still come here often as the atmosphere is always welcoming

First, they forgot half of our food and I had to remind the waitress about it. Then, my gravy biscuits were cold and when I mentioned it, the waitress took the plate, microwaved it, and brought it back to me. I wasn't expecting that. The biscuits were a little dry. I'm not sure much of it is homemade, as we saw the delivery of frozen food while we were there. The pancakes, plain and chocolate chip, were really good and my husband loved the bacon. My cheese grits were good and the sausage was pretty good. The prices were low.

Incredible! Find them! Next to Wendy's and McDonald's in the Lowe's parking lot. It's hidden and…read morereally quite a shame. These ladies should be spot lit as the go-to bagel spot in Mt Airy. Great selection of breakfast items, bagels, sweets and savories. I asked about a breakfast burrito after ordering when I saw the tortillas in the case. Why are burritos not a huge center piece of advertisement? Scroll it in the front window!! I'd be there once a week if I knew there were fresh breakfast burritos inside. I would have loved a breakfast burrito but saw it too late. Sounds amazing though and if they are half as good as the bagel sandwiches, lights out! The smoked salmon will be my breakfast and lunch on the road. Stuffed full, I was full after half. My hubs got an Asiago with walnut raisin cream cheese. If I didn't know any better, I'd ask if he was pregnant. Then I tried it. Wait what.... Why is that combo so good!!! These ladies have made this spot the one stop shop for breakfast. Don't skip it! Cute, clean and friendly. Small seating area to eat in or grab n go. I saw the bowls are popular. I wish I could bring them back to Michigan with us.

They even have pupusas on Thursday's and Friday's. Today I decided for an egg and cheese on a croissant with mayo and tomato. It was lightly toasted to perfection. I also asked for a small coffee which was boiling hot!!! When I tell you each bite was a little slice of heaven. You can tell they take the time to layer it up and wrap it for you even if it's to eat there. Normally I'd get a Asiago cheese and jalapeño bagel with jalapeño cream cheese which is another to die for. So many to choose from, we just have to come back. They also have several drinks to choose from as well as fresh fruit and muffins. If you haven't already, you need to come by and say hello. And take a bagel on your way out.

We drove out of the way to use a discount from the app that when we arrived didn't work. So $20 for a breakfast that included a dry biscuit, sweet tea that wasn't sweet and employees that seemed almost bothered. The toppings on the biscuit were fresh. The smothered fries were the best part. Definitely won't be returning in a hurry. The place seemed pretty clean and also very confined, right on top of each other in the dining room.
