Expectation level: Mom and Pop Diner…read more I go to a lot of places like this, and the Parks have a lot to choose from whether it be Sunrise, Docs, Potato Shak, Hollywood etc. Honestly I expected more of the same. Decent meal, possibly a little bland. In this case however I was pleasantly surprised. Pros: -Most diner and cafe style meals I have usually have a little dryness to them, or lacking flavor, but Nori's was a tad more flavorful with the corn, heartier with the soup, and my american fries / chopped steak were not all dried out. I was really impressed. -Might be a smidge more expensive than other similar joints, but its only a hair. -VERY casual atmosphere Cons: This place is seriously dated, and could really use a face lift. It has nothing to do with the food, but Nori's is a bit old school, and I feel their booths are a bit cramped. Bottom line: I want to give Nori's another try just to confirm, but if the place had even a 50% improvement on the atmosphere's dating it could be a 5 star in my mind.

The food however was just bad. The hash browns were old and rubbery. There was barely any sausage in the biscuits and gravy although the biscuits were actually quite good. The toast was not toasted, just buttered bread. Since I had a skillet, those awful hash browns were in everything and just ruined it. They were really bad. I would not eat there again.

It was warm, most and scrumptious. Somebody knows how to make muffins. Next up was our ham & cheese panini. It was warm & gooey. Yum! The broccoli salad was the real surprise here. It was the perfect balance of tart & sweet. I think the addition of soft, plump raisins might have been the winning factor. The little restaurant & coffee shop is set amid a local market. Lots of great items from fresh plants to bourbon. They also have non perishables like cards & socks. Cute place & worth the stop. Staff is friendly & provided great recommendations for food & beverages.

We went in & sat ourselves as directed, then waited.... Finally someone came over with menus & drink inquiries. Then we waited again for a waitress to take our order- my boyfriend thought ours was rather snotty. We got our food quickly, and that was the last we saw of our waitress until we finished our meal. She came by with someone else's food and I flagged her over. No interest in whether the food was to our liking, if I needed more coffee - nothing. My meal was pretty good, but his chicken breast sandwich was dry, only salvaged by the tomato slice & cheese. I guess we'll find another lunch spot. :(

The other problem is they are not ordering based on demand. Black and Tan is always out of stock. I have twice asked the manager if it would be something they increase their order of and nothing has changed. I think the kids that work the counter are great! On the rare occasion I get a latte or cup of coffee they are great baristas. The management on the other hand is.... absent, and I would even say lazy to an extent. Disinterested in catering to the clientele. Too bad. I will be ordering all of my coffee direct from the source moving forward. This way I know it will be fresh and delivered to my door!

A place that gets packed at breakfast. That's no surprise because nowhere else in town opens as early. Crowded but we found a table at breakfast. It's mostly a place to get coffee and baked goods. The menu is bigger than it seems. Also has things at lunch. There's quite a lot to look through. It's about $4 for a coffee. The one I got was the Samoa Mocha. Get it cold or hot. This is made with caramel, coconut cream, and mocha. It's about $2 for baked items. They had vegan chocolate chip cookies from a local bakery, along with the usual things like croissants and muffins. Going here might be a challenge. It's busy and there's limited hours. They're closed Sundays and Mondays, only open for breakfast and lunch, and they close earlier Saturdays.
