They also serve fresh-squeezed orange juice, which we'll definitely try next time. Friendly service, great value, and tasty food. I'd absolutely return!

The hard exterior made it difficult to eat and many of us gave up on it. It was also very well seasoned, perhaps even too salty. The pancake special was huge. I feel the menu could specify how many pancakes each item comes with. Overall a good diner experience. We had plenty of space and found a quiet spot for all the children (where we didn't bother any other diners). Would come again!

Also talked with Denis, restaurant manager, who was very friendly and cordial. It was a pleasure to visit with each for a few minutes while waiting for my To Go order as I arrived early The ham and cheddar cheese omelet is outstanding and a full stack of banana walnut pancakes is out of this world. We have a hard time ordering anything else when we dine in the either the restaurant or trains. The ambiance is warm, inviting and friendly We highly recommend this restaurant during the season and second season as well. Thank you Dennis and Erica for your outstanding service and friendship, along with above and beyond delicious food and beyond compare service.!

A bright, open environment with spacious tables and booths makes this a great place for breakfast.

This is a cafe connected to their icecream and bakery's- Three Blonde Bakers. This is the larger of the two and they have a tiny little seating area along with a lot of cool merch. The girl working was super nice and instead of coffee I opted to try one of their summer specials - the peachy passion smoothie. It was hot and this was super refreshing and fresh tasting. There were smoothie bowls, baked goods, sandwiches and more as they had a pretty extensive menu. I definitely would love to come back and try some other items!

I was excited to order a dragon bowl. However, despite waiting in the cafe, my bowl was forgotten. When I went up to ask for it, at first I was told that it would be coming out shortly, while other people were receiving orders with multiple bowls. Later, they did not know that I was still waiting for my bowl and I had to find my receipt to prove that I had ordered and paid for my food. It tasted good, but the strawberries were not very fresh. I will be trying another cafe on my next trip to the area.

It wasn't very busy for a Monday. Our server took our drink orders while we looked over the menu, which has a lot of options. It's a large menu with daily specials, and many of the sandwiches--like the clubs, wraps, hot-pressed paninis, and melts--can be made in different combinations for the same price. The meals are reasonably priced for the amount of food you get. The club sandwiches especially are big enough to share if you just want a light lunch to hold you over until dinner. Mom ordered a club, my wife had the tuna melt, and I also went with a club. Everything was very good. I ended up taking half of mine and half of Mom's home and had it for dinner. My wife also had the navy bean soup and said it was really good--something she'd definitely order again. When we're in the area, we'll be back.
