Hanging from the ceiling are roughly a dozen colorful umbrellas. There is no shortage of visuals in this restaurant. The food: Beignets - we tried the classic and the Berry White. Both were great, but I'd give a slight nod to the original. The one buried in powdered sugar helps keep the texture of the Beignet. The Pickle Gambit - super thinly lengthwise sliced pickles in a light batter. Comes with chipotle aioli and ranch. Good portion size. One of the best fried pickles I've ever had. Ned's 5-Alarm Chicken - really good crust and very flavorful. One regret is we didn't go waffles with this. Lemon Poppyseed Slaw - tastes like a classic slaw. A little sweet and creamy. Goes really well with the heavier dishes that we got. The Shrimp Incident - small shrimp and sliced sausage with a Cajun cream sauce and crostini. We thought this was ok Country Mac - my favorite part was the fried chicken as it was very tender and flavorful. The shell shaped pasta was cooked al dente - it was firmer than I would like partly due to the pasta being on the thick side. The Mac is Cajun forward and not very cheesy. Staff was very friendly. We enjoyed our meal, but it was definitely on the heavier side and could have used something to balance it out.

New Panera …read more. Probably our 8th Panera location in three states since we started our trip a month ago. The inside is bright, shiny and new with outlets underneath each booth seat. Covered outdoor seating as well.. with a fireplace! This is by far the nicest Panera we've been to yet. We ordered coffee through the app, picked it up at the counter; easy peasy!

Service is generally great, even when their drive thru is backed up with a rush.

My boyfriend and I stopped here during a road trip from Southern California all the way up to the…read morePacific Northwest Peninsula, and we're currently making our way back down. We always try to find good local spots along the way, and I'm so glad we decided to stop here because this place was SO good! There are plants everywhere, which I loved, and it just has such a welcoming feel to it. I got the steak and eggs and asked for my steak medium rare, and they cooked it perfectly! Honestly, probably one of the best breakfasts I've had in a while. We also got the honey peach latte and had it made half sweet, and it was amazing. I'm also a sucker for fresh baked goods, so when I saw they had fresh-baked cinnamon rolls, I had to snag one for the road. Overall, we're really happy we decided to make this our stop. Everything was great from the food and coffee to the atmosphere and service. We're definitely saving this spot for the next time we're road tripping through the area. If you're passing through and need a breakfast stop, definitely give this place a try.

None of the trendy hipster "coolness" that has come to rankle me in other popular coffee shops. I've had some delicious pastries and excellent drinks, including coffee and non-coffee specialties like their golden milk latte which is unique and amazing. Comfy space, high ceilings , exposed brick. My only feedback is that they serve their bagels to go with a cup of cream cheese and a sliced bagel. This is common, but I don't understand why anyone would want to spread cream cheese on their own bagel when they're on the road. It would be like ordering a sandwich and a stack of meat, cheese, lettuce, and bread and asked to assemble that while you're driving. That's literally my only complaint and it's a small one. I will be a Regular at this coffee shop, bagels be damned! lol.

There's normal tables, taller stools for window seating, and a few couch chairs too. The person that helped me at the counter was super helpful. There are lots of options with desserts, pastries, toast, bagels, sandwiches, soups, parfaits, and whole meals like biscuits and gravy. They have a good amount of vegan and gluten then friendly alternatives too. The prices were a steal for the portions I got -especially the toast and chia pudding. The coffee was also pretty good, nothing to write home about. I'll have to come back to try some of their bagels next time.
