Nice little place for a weekend brunch. The food and coffee were nothing fancy but it was tasty. Liked the idea of having a coffee while sitting at the counter. I ordered a double cappuccino and a breakfast burrito.

Delicious, quick, filling portions. The menu has veggie options as well as the about to customize a lot. Coffee refills on the regular. The cheese omelette was so fluffy.

The food here was nothing fancy, but very tasty..they also have a good variety of breakfast choices at a reasonable price...nice selection of coffee choices as well with healthy milk options for your specialty brew. I had the regular drip which was hot and delicious. They have outdoor seating in a small area off street filled with plants and sunshine.... nice little find

A little gem in the old downtown. The cafe has a patio in the back which allowed for more intimate conversations and relaxing atmosphere. The breakfast wasn't super fancy but it has side dishes that made it possible to create a healthy breakfast for our small bodies. We had oatmeal with a pouches egg, Sunnyside up over an English muffin, coffee and tea. Everything tasted good. Good price too. Our server was super nice. Overall a great experience there.

Cute place to go get coffee and breakfast by yourself. I particularly liked their white raspberry mocha coffee and eggs Benedict with some fruits.
