I brought an acquaintance…read morehere because I've seen this spot listed in several local publications and voted to be a great spot to try. After a nice park walk we came in on a Saturday. The inside is on the smaller side but in a cozy sense. Immediately upon entering we were greeted and welcomed. The staff were very friendly and inviting. They recommended items and explained them to us. Parking was easy at the time we went but can get tricky as the day goes on. We were there in the early am so it wasn't packed thankfully. When they delivered the food I was a tad shocked by the presentation. My potatoes, eggs and bacon came delivered on a metal pizza pan with parchment paper. Now it threw me off because I've never seen that and I expected it on a plate. The potatoes had been soaking in grease that didn't appear clean as the potatoes were tiny cut and dark. They also simply tasted of grease. The eggs were scrambled with not much to be desired and the bacon was good. The meal left me underwhelmed and needing to go get an actual meal after we left. Also the utensils were plastic. The experience gave more of food truck vibes than cute little cafe. I had a smoothie which I enjoyed. Although I don't after that I would come back if I did it would only be for a beverage. I was confused because I remember seeing the menu and it mentioned scrum-did-dly-ump-tious so I thought it would be a more southern well seasoned country style and it was more bland fast food style.

My coffee was drip coffee, not any particular kind, but it was not bitter- which is a positive Sweet potato fries are my thing, my son enjoyed their burger with French fries. Service was good, we were sorted within 5 minutes of arriving. Ambiance is that of a home dinning. Simple clean, and set against a backdrop of an 80s household. Check it out sometime

However, we found some time, and here we are. It's not my first time having to wait because a place is busy without reservations, but during the wintry times... they didn't have much of a wait. We were seated pretty quick, but in the "outdoor" area that really needed the heaters to work for it to be comfortable. They do zip up the area to keep the wind out, but the cold still seeps in. When I eventually got my food, it cooled down faster than I could eat it. Now the food was good. I have a soft spot for breakfast/brunch and would honestly eat it for dinner if they offered it, but they do not. Regardless, they did not disappoint! Everything was flavorful and filling, the tostada and market hash being the standout menu items for me. The market hash, in particular, was such an unexpectedly delicious dish because it seemed too healthy to be good, but everything worked well together to not make it so drab. There was a good mix of different vegetation too. If I lived nearby, I would most likely opt to get that more often than not. If there was anything I would change, it would be the potatoes. They are soft and seasoned well, but I would prob be more likely to eat them for dinner than brunch. Perhaps that's more of a personal preference though with how I would imagine potatoes during the day and how I like them.

Well, hate to be frank, but our Souffle Pancake was just very disappointing. While the pancake was nice and fluffy, the toppings and presentation wasn't even close to being as good as they used to be. I felt this was new management, with a whole, new style of doing desserts maybe? In any case, we did think the pancake tasted good...but it was just lacking in the creamy topping, as only the top layer had this creamy base. The lower 2 pancakes had no cream on it...and tasted quite bland. Even the strawberry sauce was minimal...so minimal, I went up to ask for more. Also, the decorative toppings, including the strawberry, were just BLAHHH. If you come here expecting the Strawberry Souffle Pancake of the past, you'll be disappointed. So nope...just not pretty enough for Instagramming. Made me wonder if the rest of the desserts have gone down as well?? For drinks, my husband had Cappuccino, and I had this Oohlong Tea. Not pictured, but the presentation was just passable...and the taste was just OK. If I recall, their drinks used to be presented beautifully as well as their desserts...but from the look of things, that may no longer be true. Guess I may give this place at least another try. Who knows? Maybe it was just an off night?? Hopefully I can upgrade the review on my next v visit...should the dessert and the drink look and taste better. Fingers crossed??

Pour that on with the butter, now that's a good thought. They need something to make it stand out. I tried the shrimp and grits. First thing first, don't get this dish if you're really hungry. They bring it out in a really big bowl and it's just a little bit.. the chicken sausage is cut up whole like chopped hotdogs. It really looks lazy and unappealing. The flavor wasn't bad, not great, but not nasty. Nothing special at all. Now for the restaurant itself (decor), I liked it. I think it's a great setting for lunch indoors or outdoors. I'd try them again for dinner to see if it's better, but going back for brunch, not likely.

The atmosphere was vibrant with groups ranging from date nights to families to large parties, that may have been co-workers. I was able to sit at a table with booth on one side large enough to accommodate me and my date. Despite being a full house on a Wednesday, we were able to converse without shouting and observe all the other patrons. The menu consisted of several drink selections ranging from cocktails to wines and beer on one side and small plates, entrées, and sides on the other. There was also a holiday drink menu in addition to the large wine list in a separate book. We started with the holiday themed Maple old-fashioned. It was quite tasty, but not for me due to the inclusion of walnut bitters. Allergies prevented me from fully enjoying that drink which consisted of bourbon to give it the holiday feel. My second beverage, which doubled as dessert was an eggnog flavored cocktail called Crème de Noel that was absolutely delicious! It consisted of bourbon, cognac, rum and flavored with cinnamon, allspice, fennel and ginger. We started off with the small plates, including crab cakes, and a beet carpaccio. Both were beautiful creations. The crabcakes had good flavor, but were way too small to be considered cakes... more like balls! The beet salad looked amazing, but was off-limits for me due to the inclusion of pistachios. May try during a future visit with the request for nut removal. We ordered one dish to share, and settled on the Halibut Oscar after several consultations with our amazing, knowledgeable server Niko. Niko provided great service and insight on many of the items we requested. He was pleasant and not pushy, allowing us time to peruse the menus and settle on our selections. The halibut was a decent size and accompanied by the thousand layer potato, which resembled a pan fried potato rectangle. All rested on a bed of asparagus. We had requested the sauce which included lump crab meat on the side, and it was the perfect pairing for the halibut! We conversed with the bartender on the way out and learned about the many bar offerings. This is also where I met the artist, Dru Molen, who produced many of the beautiful pieces of art throughout the restaurant. Will return to taste more of the menu selections

Absolutely adorable little cafe with various seating. Decor is delectable and ambiance is just…read moreright for this spot. The people here are very kind and helpful. I can't say much for the food nor drinks, as I only got a bagel with cream cheese. But what I can say about it is that it's quite basic, especially for a whopping $5. I feel bad for judging on such a minor item on their menu because it feels like they threw that on the menu just to appease the masses. It just irks me the wrong way to charge so much for something that is clearly just store bought. Otherwise, I do love this cafe. I will try more items and I definitely do recommend it. As for the bagel and cream cheese thing? Perhaps make your own cream cheese. Super simple to make. And definitely charge less on it I do wish you all the best!

I'm always looking for a new coffee spot and even better when the coffee spot offers food options. The eatery options here are pretty endless, and let's give a moment alone for their amazing empanadas. The interior is set up with tables, chairs, high tops, couches, and TV's with lofi backgrounds to set the scene even more. Parking is shared with the patrons from the gas station, as well as the other tenants in the shopping center. The location can get busy at times, but the service is great regardless. The price for items is well worth it in my opinion given the portion size and the flavor.

I have been coming to this restaurant regularly for the past five years, especially for breakfast…read morewith my family, and until today, I had never had a complaint or a problem. Unfortunately, my experience today was completely different. I was served scrambled eggs, and just as I was about to eat a piece, I noticed several short hairs embedded in the eggs. I was extremely disgusted and almost vomited. I immediately called my server, who went to speak with the manager. The manager came over, apologized, and told me that they would remove my meal from the bill. While I appreciate the apology and the gesture, I was much more concerned about how something like this could happen in the kitchen in the first place. I asked the manager to speak with the kitchen staff because this is a serious food-safety and hygiene issue. What made this even more disappointing is that I have trusted this restaurant for years. I used to feel comfortable bringing my family here, and there was a person who always made sure everything was served properly and that customers were taken care of. It also seems that there has been a change in management, as I no longer see the same manager I used to. After today's experience, I no longer feel comfortable eating food prepared in this kitchen. Finding multiple hairs embedded in my food is unacceptable and extremely disturbing. I don't plan to return for at least a year, and unfortunately, I can no longer recommend this restaurant to others. I sincerely hope management takes this incident seriously and addresses the hygiene and food-handling practices in the kitchen. This was a very disappointing and disgusting experience after five years of being a loyal customer.
