This restaurant is a true gem! The food is absolutely delicious, always fresh and made with high-quality ingredients. The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and beautifully designed. It has such a great vibe. Plus, it’s open every day, all day long, which makes it super convenient. Highly recommend!

Quick visit here for brunch. The food was pricey here, however the food lives up to the price. They do need to work on keeping the food hotter as there were some of us that had warmish home fries and pancakes. The bathroom was clean and the overall atmosphere here was good. Our server did her best to keep us served.

Just happened upon this gem of a restaurant. We were looking for a relaxing breakfast on the coldest day of the year. Spacious dining area with lots of windows. Serving staff were fantastic, meals were yummy with fresh ingredients and nice and hot. They did not skimp! Coffee & tea were included in the breakfast and the price was on par for nowadays. Highly recommend for. Breakfast and we heard the burgers are made fresh for lunch or dinner. We will definitely be eating there again!

We ordered 2 breakfasts and the food was really good! My husband got the lumberjack platter and it is A LOT of food for a great price (photo is missing the pancake it came with). I got an order of pancakes and bacon. The peameal was a tad dry but the pancakes were AMAZING! So fluffy with crisp edges. There were some kinks in the service but I put that towards the diner just opening up. I think they’ll easily be smoothed out with time. Our server was really nice and checked in on us to make sure we had what we needed. Great to have a new diner in the neighborhood. I can’t wait to come back to try their lunch/dinner menu.

Stumbled across this gem while looking for a new brunch place to try. Was surprised at how big it is, was just expecting a small mom&pop diner.. super spacious inside with lots of natural light! First off I really love their decor and setup. Inside feels very homey.. whoever decorated it for sure loves plants. Lots of my favorite plants all around, with ones propagating as well. Thoughtful decorations and even artwork for sale by local artists is scattered throughout. I see they also have a bar setup to make drinks (but no bar table/stools). Aisles wide enough for elderly and wheelchairs. They also have an outdoor patio which is lovely! Will definitely come by when weather gets warmer. They just opened in June, I see they still have plans to perhaps add a small general store section at the front, Seems like it's a work in progress at the moment. Excited to see once its completed! The service was top notch and the food... although it's just "regular" brunch items, but the quality of the eggs Benedict i ordered was cooked to perfection. Was not expecting to enjoy it that much. They also have lunch and dinner items, which you can order at anytime. Would come back to try lunch and dinner given how good their breakfast was. Overall a really really nice place. I see lots of customers enjoying the atmosphere and having long talks over their food. Highly recommend and will be back!
