The food and service was top notch, it’s clearly a local favorite. I had the breakfast burrito (sausage) which was served with fresh pico de gallo and I had a side of bacon. Our meal came out very quickly!

Solid house-made corned beef hash. Plenty of butter on the English muffin, just as it should be. Would definitely come back and try other menu options.

A simple breakfast cafe with plenty of options. Also saw a tofu scramble on the menu which is rare for similar cafes. In the picture is vegetarian sandwich. We ordered just one and they got it into 2 plates since we were sharing. That was thoughtful. The servers are nice and friendly. The sandwich tasted good and fries were ok. They don’t do any coffees at except americano which I was slightly disappointed with. I grabbed a Starbucks which was next door.

The staff at this cozy diner were exceptional ! Went there with my family and the server was so patient and attentive to my 80 yo dad. She even threw in a one liner about his eyes which made his morning ! The food was great and the whole family left very full and satisfied. Would highly recommend!
