If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Hands down best breakfast place I had. I got the Karen potatoes with no cheese. The potatoes where crispy, eggs were perfect, staff was friendly and attentive (even though it was super busy). The ice tea was so good too. Anyone who knows me knows I'm picky on ice tea and this one was fantastic. It tasted like maybe a chi tea. Very good. If I lived by here, I would be there every weekend.

I enjoyed everything here. Aubrey was a really nice server. The food was great and they put walnuts in the pancake upon request which was great. Best of all they offer real maple syrup if you ask for it and real butter, two things I really appreciate.

Great little Cafe, with great service and food. Ordered the two egg breakfast with bacon, country fried steak, and Karen's potatos. Service was quick and very kind. Overall, it was great and clean. Would recommend stopping by for a good cup of coffee and a meal.
