This place has amazing brunch, and food in general. I usually avoid brunch places like the plague but strongly recommend this honey, welcoming and most importantly delicious restaurant. Well seasoned but not heavy, well flavored and not too sweet. Happy to come back and spend money here to support this wonderful business. The owners and staff are lovely !

The ambience here is warm and friendly, a nice local café. The service is excellent everyone was very professional and attentive. We were a party of two and ordered the french toast and the omelette. The french toast was ordered with a side of bacon & cappuccino. The French toast was excellent fluffy and not overly sweet. The bacon was thick cut, I asked for extra crispy and I received extra crispy, I really appreciated that. The sausage omlette was ordered with hash-browns & cappuccino. The omelette was light and fluffy and the greens that came with it were farm fresh. The hash browns were prepared in a unique way similar to a mini potato casserole which was lovely. The serving sizes are just right,everything was very delicious, definitely recommend adding this place to your café list.

A wonderful neighbor found we recently came across. Staff are friendly and approachable, makes you feel connected. Food and drinks are great. We ordered the nitro brew coffee, daily special which is steak and egg, steak cooked right. Eggs Benedict, omelette and pancake. All are great. Prices are reasonable. This place is also very family oriented. As soon as they saw us with two kids, they bring out a basket of books and puzzle for them to play. Love this place and will definitely be back.

Had brunch on Sunday and everything was so wonderful! We had ricotta French toast (my personal favorite!!), chorizo hash, omelet and eggs Benedict- as well as a black coffee, cappuccino and chai latte. The staff was super welcoming and accommodating to us and groups of various sizes that walked in. Such a wonderful neighborhood spot- you can really feel the sense of community there. Can’t wait to go back.
