Reviews
The place is very good. Food was delicious and reasonably priced. Highly recommend cinnamon roll pancakes. So good. It's a great brunch spot. Good service. And the place was very cute and cozy. The wait can be long so come here early on weekends. Also cash only.
My go to speciality grocery for fancier and harder to find items and the best cakes and cookies! The prepared meals are SO good and fresh. I can't ever go to the pantry without getting my staples - warm gooey whopper cookies, buffalo chicken dip, and their garlic artichoke dip. You can also pre order sides, mains and desserts for the holidays which is an absolute lifesaver. Their chocolate pie is a staple at our thanksgiving dinners now. The service here is always great and the employees are so helpful. The only downside is parking can be tough as the lot is small and hard to navigate during peak times.
Been coming here on and off for over 30 years. Friendly service Great specials. Solid diner breakfast options with some fun twists and always fresh fresh fruit (not the usual sad anemic stuff we've all come to expect in this type of environment) Special note- this establishment is cash only. There is an ATM on site.
Stopped here on a road trip for breakfast and it was the perfect little stop! Great food and fast service. A little cramped in there but they were able to fit our party of 6. Cinnamon roll pancakes are awesome! Definitely recommend getting no more than a short stack for one person unless you're super hungry. One of us got a large stack on chocolate chip pancakes and it was way too much food. Cash only!!
My friend and I have been here several times and each time has been a great experience! The food is so good! Love the pancakes and the coffee too! The only inconvenient aspect is it's cash only. I never have cash on me so I will literally go to the bank and get cash out to be able to enjoy this delicious place. It's worth it.
