    Great brunch area! Inside and outside seating available. Service was great and food delicious! Definitely coming back again! If you're in the Langtree area stop by!

    Greek omelette and cheese grits
    Amy K.

    Very quant little breakfast spot at the bottom of an apartment complex. Parking can be a little difficult due to the location. I really enjoyed the Greek omelette which was packed with olives (YUM!!!!). I had a mimosa as well that was well made. Nice place to grab a bite.

    This is a nice coffee shop right next to a full restaurant. The coffee is great and offers a limited option of baked products. The ambience has a lot of natural ligh and common areas are clean. Staff is super helpful and friendly. 100% recommended.

    Shrimp and grits eggs Benedict
    John C.

    Stopped here for brunch on a Sunday while traveling back home from Charlotte. As expected, there was a bit of a wait but we were fine hanging out. When we were called to be sat, our group and two other groups were all taken in. We were the first in line to be sat but the other groups were sat before us. Then, when it was our turn, a table wasn't ready so we had to wait a while longer. Not a major issue, but irksome. I ordered the Shrimp and Grits Eggs Benedict. It was clear that it had been sitting under a heat lamp because the hollandaise was dried on the plate and the eggs were totally overcooked. No runny inside to help with the dried-out grits cake. The iced chai latte I got from the little attached coffee stand was good. I think the other folks in my party liked what they got. Overall, I was just pretty disappointed in the experience.

    Traditional Breakfast
    Marica M.

    We stayed at a hotel across the street and saw that this place was walking distance for us. We first came in on Friday morning and liked it so much that we came back the next morning to eat again! The first morning, I got the corned beef hash. It was pretty good and the portion was big! My husband got the eggs Benedict. The next day, he got the traditional breakfast which was huge! I got the croque monsieur. I loved the flavor of my meal but it was very heavy. On Friday morning, there was no wait and we were able to walk right in. On Saturday morning, they were very busy and we had to wait maybe 20 mins to be seated. The coffee was good and we had great service both days.

    guys if u have never been here you must go. their food is so amazing and the drinks from the cafe are just perfect. even the fruit and water are so good. but the best part is the bathroom!!! they had hairbrushes and makeup and it smelled good and a full body mirror it was perfect. our lady was also very nice and my heart was happy after this meal

    Amazing Raspberry Mocha Latte, great variety of different coffee drinks.
    Christin N.

    I sat at the bar area and had a Raspberry Mocha Latte which was FABULOUS! I had the corn beef and eggs and it was also good. It was had shredded potatoes with small diced onions and peppers with the corn beef. My only suggestion is ask for it extra crispy as the potatoes were very white along with no crustiness on the corn beef. I had they rye toast which was AMAZING! They definitely must get it from a local bakery as it was thick cut and very fresh and delicious! Service was very quick as I did go on a Tuesday around 11am so they weren't that busy.

    Build your own omelet
    Tiffany K.

    Came to eat here one morning because it is close to my mother's house and I have been plenty of times before. Our server was pretty rude. She barely smiles and talked with an attitude, maybe another table put her in a bad mood but it reflected very strong toward us. I always order the build your own omelet with the same ingredients, spinach, bacon, onion and green pepper but this time it was overwhelmingly disappointing. I think there were a couple of pieces of bacon, barely any spinach and tasted like scrambled eggs with a pinch of the ingredients. My previous visits they put enough ingredients in that you can taste them from edge to edge of the omelet (very good and healthy amount). I'm not sure if they are saving money or just ran out of ingredients from that morning but I wished there was more. Fruit was wonderful and fresh! I'll be back hoping there's more ingredients in the omelet next time!

    Classic breakfast and a chai tea latte with vanilla from the small cupcake & latte shop inside
    Faith M.

    Always great service. Food is really good and the cupcake shop inside is really nice as well.

    Friendly servers, clean and bright dining area, well decorated, nice breakfast selection. Good tasting coffee and real cream folks. That was a nice surprise! I had the meat lovers omelette with fresh fruit, which was fresh by the way! Ashlee did a great job of serving us along with others. What's not to like folks? Give it a try!

    Doughnut holes
    Taylor A.

    Started off with doughnut holes- pretty good and they serve six pretty big ones. They come with a vanilla sauce you can dip it into. I kinda wish it was warmed up though bc dipping the hot doughnut in the cold glaze didn't complement it very well. The food was okay - the pancakes were a bit chewy. And the hash browns were super bland- I had to pour a lot of salt on. I liked their eggs though. Cool place and really nice service though.

    Pj M.

    Ticked back as part of a new development this place is warm and friendly. Lots of indoor seating as well as outdoor seating. Coffee is served with FRESH cream....really. I was very impressed. The classic breakfast was great. 2 eggs, 3 slices of bacon, hash browns extra crispy (but only on one side), 2 slices of toast (Apple Butter yeh haven't had that in years) Ashlee our sever was very efficient, upbeat and friendly. A table beside us had the chicken and waffles as well as the buffalo chicken sandwich and they looked amazing. Wish we lived closer to Mooresville, we would be regulars.

FWIW: don't let anyone tell you that you can't put a price on your health, it's a dollar up-charge from fries to a salad which was a dollar up from the standard slaw... and the raspberry vinaigrette will fight the cidery blueberries all the way - but it's a good salad for a buck each way ;-) BWB burger represents the breed well coming out on a toasted bun with the standard and customary toppings on top and a knife through its head. really, the only thing I'd do different is ask for a small handful salad lettuce instead of the shredded because it eats better that way. attentive team-service which could get annoying but it didn't and the salad to burger transition was executed quite nicely. price point is not abusive and I'm feeling pretty full up as I finish up and get ready to leave. we did alright today and I don't have a reason to derate so I won't :-)

    We were attending a friend's car show on the Saturday of Father's Day weekend. We arrived a little…read moreearly so we can park at the show and walk to lunch. We came upon this place knowing it was in the area, and decided to try it. They allow you to seat yourself which is fine. They did not seem to be very busy at noon on a Saturday, but people were coming and going. All good. Our server came by quickly to ask about drinks and if we wanted any appetizers. We gave drink orders and said no to apps. It was the first time here, so I tend to look over the menu a little longer than usual, but, it was not that busy. The server came by to take our entree orders and we said we just need a few minutes to look over the menu. Within 1 minute, another server came by to take orders order. We said that we just told the server we need a couple minutes to look at the menu. I'm not sure what the rush was, but it made me feel like they must take orders immediately. For a casual place, with a great playlist by the way, they sure made me feel hurried. The first server came by in a good amount of time, so we finally placed our order. Our food came out pretty quickly. Everything looked really good. Nice portion sizes and the food was tasty. We got a summer lovin flatbread and the California panini chicken sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. I wasn't too fond of the aoli. I thought it was a little thick. I think I would have preferred a honey mustard sauce for the fries. Also, the chicken was so thin on the sandwich you could hardly taste it. Sandwich was good but I expected more of a chicken cutlet as opposed to a flattened piece of chicken as you might get at the deli counter. My guy finished first, but I was still eating. The server comes by and asks what we're thinking for dessert. Again, rushed? I was still eating my lunch. We weren't ready to make that decision but now I wanted to finish and go, because, clearly it's the servers favorite table, and must have some attachment to it to be rushing the meal so much. I think the server needs to work on timing. If one in the party is still eating their food, would they really be discussing dessert yet? And to remind all who are reading: it wasn't a busy day yet. Only a few tables were occupied, so I will be docking a star for the service. Overall if not such a rushed experience, I would say: menu good, portions good, comfortable atmosphere. Nice place. Servers need extra training in timing and approach.

My omelet and biscuit were good enough (but not hot enough...did they sit around waiting to be expedited...short servers?). As for the grits. They ran out. How does a breakfast place in NC run out? They finally came after I had finished the omelet. Sigh. THEN the single slice of lukewarm French toast came. After the grits. After she was long finished with her eggs. It WAS delicious though.

With the Hwy 150 road construction, we have avoided Mooresville traffic but found ourselves in the area so gave it a try. The original was always one of our favorites. Looking at the menu, very little change. Menu looks almost the same which was good because they still have one of my wife's go to favorites, the Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad with Fruit. Needless to say, that is what she ordered and she loved it. I ordered the Pork Tenderloin Sandwich with a side of fries. I do not specifically remember this on the old menu but I may be wrong. In any case, it was excellent. Nice and thick and juicy with a great taste and texture. Not overcooked, tender and great texture. With all of the recalls, I told them to hold the lettuce, but lettuce adds very little to the Sandwich. Nice and clean and well organized. Walked in and was promptly seated and drink order taken followed shortly thereafter with ordering out entrees. Biggest thing that has changed is at the end of the meal. Used to be that you had to walk to the front to the cashier to pay. Now they bring a card reader to your table which is much more convenient. Will make a point of going again in the near future.

    Famous Toastery - Davidson, NC…read more Let me just start this the only way possible... "Best breakfast everrrrrrrr." (Read that in Chris Tucker's voice from Friday ) Listen. I don't throw those words around lightly. I'm a breakfast professional. I've traveled. I've eaten. I've sacrificed stretchy waistbands for less. First of all Kayla J. Service? VIP. Celebrity status. I felt like I walked in with a security detail. The way she checked on us? I thought she was about to hand me a Grammy. Attentive, friendly, and faster than my metabolism trying to survive those portions. Now let's talk FOOD. The corned beef hash with potatoes and eggs? My goodness. The eggs were perfectly cooked -- that yolk broke open like it had something to prove. The corned beef? Crispy, juicy, seasoned like somebody's grandma was back there supervising the kitchen. The potatoes? Golden. Crunchy. Faith restored. And these portions?? They don't believe in small plates here. They believe in "Cancel your lunch plans" plates. I wasn't eating breakfast... I was entering a commitment. You know it's serious when you're halfway through and start negotiating with yourself: "Alright... one more bite... for America." And don't even get me started on the pancakes. Fluffy like they were trained in altitude. Powdered sugar falling like breakfast confetti. Absolute madness. Famous Toastery in Davidson isn't just breakfast it's a spiritual experience with syrup. 10/10. Would return. Would loosen belt again. If you're anywhere near Davidson and not eating here... you're playing yourself.
