I was really excited when this café popped up near me. It's honestly a little easy to miss from the…read moreroad, and I really hope it gets the attention it deserves because it's such a sweet spot. I went in just needing a caffeine boost, but ended up staying for lunch because I was pleasantly surprised by how many good food options they had. I started with a latte with vanilla and macadamia milk. They offer real milk, oat milk, and macadamia milk. The latte was delicious and came out at the perfect temperature. The person I was with got an Earl Grey that was equally good, and they also do full pots of tea if you want to sit and stay awhile. For lunch, I got an egg salad sandwich on gluten-free sourdough bread that's made in house. It felt healthy and filling, and I paired it with the carrot miso soup, which was also gluten free and really comforting. There was a small mix up with my friend's order and they didn't get exactly what they asked for, but honestly it was fine. I love supporting small businesses, and you could tell everyone was trying hard. The ambiance is absolutely adorable. It looks like they thrifted a lot of the décor. It's Peanuts/Snoopy themed, which was so cute and a little Hallmark-movie cozy. The seating was a mix of hardwood tables with mismatched chairs, bright and sunshiny with lots of natural light, and it just felt welcoming. The staff were wonderful. The worker helping us was so friendly and careful about my food allergy questions, running back to the kitchen to double check at every question so there were no mistakes. Someone I assume was the owner or manager came around to check on every table, which made the whole place feel very personal and cared for. Overall, I absolutely loved this café. I'll definitely be back, and honestly I hope they get enough love to expand someday because spots like this make a community feel special.

We walked in and immediately were greeted by multiple good mornings from the staff. They only serve breakfast and lunch here but the menu is really expansive. I wanted to do the pancakes which are dinner plate size but stuck with the basic breakfast because it's so yummy. Eggs were cooked perfectly. The hash-browns were delicious with just the right amount of brown and the bacon was perfectly crisp. Love that this place supports the animals. They feature adoptable pets on tv screens and do fundraising through out the year. Love that everyone seems to know each other. Servers are greeting guests by name. Just has a great diner feel to it. Very cozy and comfortable. Definitely with the trek to get here.

The grouper sandwich was decent, but for not being very crowded it took a long time for our food. My husband had the chicken and his came out piping hot.

Was a little disappointed- They DONT have honey mustard. We sat in the patio area. It was cozy.

At the time there was a man playing acoustic guitar. I noticed that the view from the back was the East Fork Miami River. Very pretty. They have plenty of seating outdoors. Inside is open and spacious. Open that there is no air. They serve coffee and lunch. At night they open up for dinner and libations. Their menu is basic pub and grub. I was interested in the pizza because they mentioned wood fired. We ordered: Drinks: Pinot noir Braxton Ballpark Beer Food: Burbage burger w/ fries Margherita pizza We got our meals less than 15 minutes. I tried my fiancées burger and it was super delish. Loved the seasoned coated fries. For the record, the pizza is not wood fired, but still good. You can either get it artisan, hand tossed or cauliflower. I opted for artisan. A little thick for me but I still enjoyed it. The service was great and for the alcohol pricing, very reasonable. Great place to hang out with friends and enjoy the outdoors. Nice experience and I can see myself trying other items from the menu.

Looked hand-pressed and smelled fantastic! The scrambled eggs were "real" per our friend who got them. I didn't do any pics bc we were super hungry and didn't think about it. Let's discuss service... Initially, we were a bit frustrated. The hostess requested that we provide papers for our service dogs. That is illegal by Federal ADA standards. And though I can appreciate why they requested such things that does not invalidate Federal law. HOWEVER, after my husband calm down we had a conversation with the hostess and she said that management requires them to ask for such thing and once we expressed to her that it's illegal blah blah blah she actually said that management was investigating it and they will be making adjustments as needed. Gives me a whole new respect for mgt!! Kudos. If we are ever back in the area, we will definitely be back!

So when my hubby asked if I wanted breakfast, I said yes sir' You want a breakfast that is made from scratch and not shipped in, premixed trash? Then go to Scramblers because their food is made in house, from scratch! Even though it was around 11:30 am, we got seated right away. The hardest part was deciding on what to eat because it all sounded so delicious. But I was craving a classic breakfast of two eggs over medium, bacon, hash browns and rye toast and so that is exactly what I ordered. Hubby ordered the french toast, scrambled eggs and bacon. While we waited, we couldn't help but notice all the little cute cracked egg decor and signs around the restaurant. How clean everything was and how nice the staff was. Our food came fast and at the same time. My eggs were cooked a little on the hard side but I still had some yolk for dipping my toast in so I didn't complain. And both our meals tasted so fresh and delicious. I can't wait to go back because that bacon was perfect!!!

I ordered the loaded potato soup which is a favorite for me - it's a comfort food for sure - it tastes just as good as I remember with chunks of potatoes and bacon. The rolls dipped in the soup are perfect, but the rolls definitely aren't as fluffy as they could be or used to be even when we got some fresh. I also ordered the Salisbury steak which had a good flavor but needed more gravy.
