They have ample seating and some game you can play while visiting. My only issues - parking can be a pain and the cost is a little high if you are a family stopping in. Otherwise, great spot!

Baristas, although shockingly young, appear to have had great training: espresso drinks are all properly drawn. (Source: coffee snob) Pastries and light bites have never disappointed.

Cute diner, busy on a Sunday morning…read more Went here to stop for some breakfast on the way back to the cities. Arrived around 10:20 on a Sunday morning and had to wait about 20 minutes. Waitstaff was very friendly. Two coffees (pay for the cup and you get a pitcher for the table), corned beef eggs Benedict, and country spuds with blueberry pancakes came out to about $51 with tax and tip. Not too bad for price. Loved that they bring the story of the diner to the table. You can read about its history while you wait for your food.

Food was OK, but they directed us to the Stuffed Hash Brown and I have to be honest, it just was not very good. Just everything kind of thrown inside a big hash brown. The prices were reasonable, but only accepting cash in 2024 is also a bit crazy... at least in my opinion.

Ate at the counter due to how busy it was on a late Friday morning, where we were able to admire the stuffed hash browns the countermate couple shared. They were locals and said this was the place to be for breakfast. We wanted to try one of their fresh rolls, but arrived too late, they were all gone (they were only $1.50). The pancake & French toast were filling & hit the spot. Would go back again & share the stuffed hash browns for the experience.

Our waitress was so wonderful, friendly and very attentive . The food was delicious, probably one of the best Reuben sandwich I have ever eaten, and it's one of my go to items when we find an old cafe or diner. My husband got the fish sandwich which was gone before I had even gotten through the first half of my sandwich, so I know he loved his meal too. And the French rhubarb pie was on a whole other level of amazingness. We will definitely be stopping in again soon

It is clean, fast service, even if they're busy, especially for breakfast. The food is simple and delicious. The coffee is hot, and they keep your mug full until you tell them to stop. It is clean.

The toast was four slices and we'll buttered. The hash browns where cut like angel hair pasta. The eggs were served medium well. Everything was good. Service: I requested salsa and Texas Pete for my hash browns. There was no hesitation on their part to supply my request. When I ran out of drink, I only had to make eye contact with the service staff, and my request was answered immediately. My take on this place overall: A family run business whose present heir manages it with an eye for detail in all its operating aspects. Perhaps not the most socially adapt, her manners are concise and committed. A great place to stop for an omelet or BLT.

After choosing our items, my husband did the ordering, and I picked a table. We ordered La Firenze and La Venezia. They only had half of La Firenze left, so I got a cup of soup - Wild Rice. They have "help yourself" water, so I went and they were out. The counter was super busy, so I waited. I went again, it was still out, so I asked for some. The lady was helpful, but sarcastic (I'm SUPER sarcastic, and I've found it doesn't work well in a service environment. I have to just be straightforward and nice.) La Venezia was SO GOOD!! La Firenze was good, but nothing compared to La Venezia-it's flavors kind of explode in your mouth. The wild rice soup was okay, it had lots of wild rice, which was good, but the flavor was a little dull. The extra seating area is really nice - has lots of light, well decorated. We enjoyed our time in there.
