It is an unassuming restaurant with a decent amount of seating space both inside and outside. Very clean but nothing fancy which is fine with me as long as the service and the food is good and boy did they deliver on that part. We were seated quickly on a Saturday morning and almost immediately greeted by a very friendly server. We ordered omelets with potatoes and onions and the cinnamon role pancakes. Everything was delicious. The portions on the potatoes were great, although my husband would have preferred them crispier the server told him to ordered them deep fried next time. All of the food was excellent and the pancake was to die for, every bit was a pleasure. I loved this place, it was everything I want in a great breakfast and I will defiantly be back.

It is a very small cafe but nicely decorated. It was a Sunday morning and there were a few empty tables so we got seated right away. As far as food and prices, it is a great deal. You get a good quality of food and it was fresh and flavorful. We had western omelets, pancakes, French toast and grits. The two of us that had the omelets took half home for breakfast the next day. The service was friendly although it did take over a half hour from the time we sat down until we got our food so as long as you are not in a hurry I would say it was worth the wait. Give it try!

Some places in DE really disappoint, this isn't one of them and I can't wait to come back! This place is CUTE! The decor is beautiful, the vibe was just right (we loved the reggae), and the seating is well spaced. Our server was so friendly and just seemed like a really kind person. We're both pretty consistent with what we try and we dove right into ordering. For like $60 we had 5 various non-alcoholic drinks (coffee, tea, sparkling water, soda, etc.), two main meals, one app, and a couple sides. I'm just saying, that's pretty fair pricing to us! My order was Shrimp& Grits, which I try anywhere that has it and I LOVED their take on it. I also got the crab fries, which as a MD native, I was worried about but they were so so good. Even better than the ones at Camden Yards dare I say. My husband got the Tuna steak sandwich and had zero complaints. Overall their food is just delicious! I look forward to coming here more often.

The food was good, nothing great but decent. We did have a cinnamon roll and it was absolutely delicious. We never saw our server again, she never checked on us, and I would have liked some more tea and some more jelly. We waited about 2o minutes to get our bill after we were done, our plates neatly put together and sitting on the table and she never came to our table. We went up other her ask for our check and she told us to just pay at the cash register. So, all in all, not a great experience. I saw other waitresses who were attentive to their tables so I think it was just our waitress. I didn't see her around much so maybe she was doing something else, making coffee's or something. I think the fact that she did not want to bring our bill was the worst. With all the good options around I am not sure I will be retuning but it is worth a try to make your opinion.
