We also forgot it was Mother's Day, so we had about an hour wait as a walk up, but this place was very much worth it. Once we got the text, we came back and were shown to the spacious outdoor area on the first floor with our pups. They brought the pups a water bowl, and it was nicely shaded so we were all comfortable. I loved the decoration in there, it was secluded from the street but still very open but comfortably shaded. Everyone who worked here was very nice and the service was great from start to finish. I got the brisket hash, which was delicious. The eggs were cooked to a perfect over medium (at my request). The third wave house smoked brisket is worthy of hype for sure. My companion got the shrimp scramble, and we ended up asking if it was normal for the shrimp to be slightly translucent, which it apparently is for rock shrimp! Both entrees were excellent. I also got a bloody Mary which was amazing. Overall I have no notes for this place. Service? Great. Vibes? Great. Food? Great. I'd definitely stop by here again for brunch, or I'd love to try out their dinner menu too!

The service was good as well. The okay: we ordered the salmon dish rare and it came out medium. The sauce with it was very bland. The salmon was unseasoned and the quantity of rice to veggies/fish was off. There was only one dessert option and it was just okay as well. For the price point, unfortunately we expect a bit more.

Our server was a decent middle-aged lady who seemed to be kind of rushed. Since it was so early most of our table ordered Warner and one coffee she seemed a little stressed out about that in the water had a funny taste Other than that, everybody pretty much ordered pancakes, eggs, and bacon . The eggs were a little overdone and firm, not fluffy, scrambled eggs as she described them. It's definitely a casual café where you can grab a quick bite but don't be accept. Did to stay long as they seemed very rushy. We paid roughly 70 bucks for five people to have breakfast which isn't too bad these days. They have indoor outdoor seating and a very small parking lot super close to the beach, but not on the beach and it seems to be just a few waitresses for the whole establishment . I'd like to try their lunch just because they had a few things that caught my eye

The pears in the tart were flavorful, but the crust was wet, and soggy. I don't think anything I sampled was fresh baked. In addition, the display case lacked the overall fancy appearance of a patisserie. The staff were friendly and patient. The shop could use a facelift.

This is my new go-to restaurant in New Smyrna Beach. Any place with great food, great prices AND great people, I'm there. Couple that with a breezeway patio near the beach, and you've got yourself culinary experience I'm sure you're not going to forget. The guys here are super cool. The food is amazing. OH YEAH ... The cheesecake ... that cheesecake is hands down THE BEST Cheesecake I've ever had. As soon as my fork cut into it I KNEW this was different. The cook and the owner there LOVES what they do, and it's evident with every succulent bite--truly a labor of love and you can tell. But don't take my word for it, try it for yourself. read more

I had originally eaten at this location a few years back when it was a different restaurant and I came in expecting that but I when I ordered my food and tasted it I was blown away. it was so good and now I will have dreams about this place instead of the old place. the people were so nice and when we were finishing our food the chef came out with this amazing bread pudding that was to die for. I 10/10 recommend this place if you are in the area and I will for sure be coming back. It's a little place tucked away in a plaza but you will be so happy when you find it and your taste buds will be delighted. read more
