Today I ordered a cheddar chicken wrap after seeing the $9.25 price written on the board above the counter but was charged $10.50 even after pointing out the discrepancy. Only after I selected the tip was I quickly told "oh just don't tip." If that was the end of it, I wouldn't feel the need to leave a bad review, but then I got home and saw that the chicken wrap was cut *diagonally*. The whole point of a wrap is to make the food easier to eat... Everything was spilling out of this diagonally-cut wrap and all of the chicken was confined to only ONE of the halves.

We ordered the pancake and the two eggs scrambled with bacon, potatoes and sourdough toast. Though the pancake was not my husband's favorite, I thought it was very nice , except it didn't come with any butter. The potatoes are unusual, almost like they're braised, not crispy. The flavor was pretty good though. The eggs and bacon were good and I loved the sourdough toast, even though I didn't see that they provided any jam. It's a nice atmosphere and the staff is friendly.
