In short, they nailed getting me my caffeine fix! I walked in around 9am on a Sunday morning and was able to walk right up to the counter and order. The young woman who took care of me was very nice, friendly! I ordered a large iced coffee with almond milk (there was an upcharge for adding non-dairy milk). I was happy with the amount of ice to coffee - More coffee than ice, I was a very happy guy! I did see their food menu but had already grabbed (free) breakfast at the hotel I was staying at, but I would love to try one of their sandwiches if, when I'm in Jamestown again. Inside was spacious and clean, with several tables & chairs as well as a long table along the exterior window, perfect for people watching. I noticed a couple tables and chairs outside in front as well.

My favorite thing on the menu is the turkey and bacon sandwich, which comes with lettuce, tomato, and apricot jam on your choice of bagel. It's a perfect balance of sweet and salty and big enough to share if you're looking for a lighter start to your day. On this most recent trip my husband ordered the apricot and feta toast along with the pollinator latte, which I think was a seasonal special. The toast comes with dried rosemary that was a little heavy handed for my tastes, but he loved it. The latte had honey and lavender in it, a bee's dream. Highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area.

We were at an event in the area so we chose to try Music For Your Mouth, it was a huge mistake. We were 1 of the 3 first tables there sat outside. We sat forever waiting for service. One of the other tables got up and left saying loudly that they were sick of waiting. Other people started to show up then they got greated and served before us and the other original table! The first table finally said out loud in front of everyone "Are we ever going to get waited on?!?" The waitress/manager lady said "yeah, we'll get to you" How Rude! They had been waiting longer than anyone! They finally got a menu then 10 minutes later we were acknowledged! We were the 2nd table! Other people had menus and drinks before the first table and us the 2nd. People were getting refills and food before the 1st table got anything. The lady got upset and got up yelled at the server and left. We don't blame her! When we FINALLY got served we'd been there forever and people that had come 30 minuts after us were already done, paying, and leaving. Food was so underwhelming and plain we couldn't believe it. We don't recommend at all! We never got an apology or explanation for the wait. No one cared.

My wife and her friend had been the day before and wanted to take me back. My wife had the French toast, which she had had the day before, her friend had eggs, toast, and bacon, and I had the brunch madame. Let me warn you, if you order this, you will be a bit surprised when it arrives at your table. It is massive. But beyond being massive, it was perfectly toasty and cheesy on top with layers of ham and Bechemel inside, and it sat in a pool of glistening hollandaise sauce. Our server, Misty, laughed when I told her that it should come with a disclaimer, but it was honestly one of the best things I've ever eaten for breakfast. It came with a side of breakfast potatoes and a perfectly soft poached egg nestled on top. To top it all off, the coffee was divine. Misty told us it was from Erie Street coffee and they sell it at the restaurant. Note that if you're going to go here, they close at 2:30. But it's definitely worth the trip and we will definitely be back.

The side of homemade applesauce was actually for the regular style of pancake I got which I was just curious what that would taste like together as I've never had it before. I enjoyed it, but actually liked eating them both separately more. Everything came out of the kitchen quickly and I could tell this is definitely a popular morning spot with locals as the owner and other staff were very friendly and on a first name basis with many other patrons inside. Definitely my kind of spot. One thing to note is this place is cash only, so keep that in mind but I do believe there was an ATM on site as well.
