I like the theme of the cafe. Our party was seated right away, and the waitress was attentive. The food was fresh but very bland.. I feel like my panini was missing some flavors like tomato & avocado as well as some seasoning. The veggie dip for the carrots and celery should have been thicker too. It was way too watery.

In town for a dog show with my friend and just happened to see this place with some pretty alluring looking donuts at 1:00 am… We checked it out today and happened upon an amazing Mothers Day feast complete with chocolate covered strawberries. Definitely an awesome experience and a great way to start off our show day!

Absolutely epic donuts. Primarily yeasted. Mine was on the dry side but absolutely loaded with cream and strawberries, so it worked. Huge assortment that rotates. We went on Father’s Day and didn’t need reservations. They had a great selection of specials. Simple diner food done well and fast. The place is small and felt crowded. It also got noisy. Parking is on the street which is always an adventure. 100 percent worth a visit, but we found it hard to linger. However, we follow the Facebook and will likely go back just for the donuts.

Food was excellent. Loved the retro, George Jeston style decor and menu item names. Service was phenomenal. We will be back.

Retro fun bright colors. Decor reminds me of the Jetsons cartoon. Food portions are if good size. The banana pancakes and French toast with whipped cream were a big hit with the kids. One declared the pancakes the best she ever had. Had the omelette with spinach, mushrooms, goat cheese and avocado. I thought it was a bit light on the cheese and avocado but still good.

What a cool spot! Everything was super clean, the breakfast was delicious, baked goods were on point (crazy kinds – like pop tart etc), and the staff was very attentive and kind. Can’t wait to come back with our kiddos next time!

I have been here a few times and the food is great. The service from the waitresses is always good as well. HOWEVER. Multiple times that I have been there it takes a long time to be acknowledged by anyone. It isn’t even that no one is there. Literally the hostess will walk by and not say a word. Not even a good morning. This morning it was particularly aggravating. We walked in. There were three people waiting. We stood there for a minute. A girl passed us. I figured she did not work there because she didn’t say a word to us. A group of 4 walked in through the other door a few minutes later, and the same girl went over to them and let them know there was a wait. Other employees passed us and also said nothing. The party before us got sat, and still no one said anything to us. There was also another woman that came in right behind us that had not been acknowledged. Since they hadn’t talked to us, they probably thought she was with us also. Either way we waited about 10 minutes, no one said anything, so we left. Again, the food and waitress service is good. However, I don’t think I’ll be back because it’s just pretty unprofessional and not good customer service. Sorry!

I ordered scrambled eggs and home fries, the eggs was a hair undercooked and the home fries a little cold. I got a decaf coffee and it was a bit strong. Otherwise the waitstaff was friendly and on her toes with our order, and the atmosphere was great!. Nice and clean, handicap entrance, bathroom, and parking!

Order here at least once or twice a week. Staff is super friendly and always feel welcomed when I come in. My go to is “The Jetpack” and it is always consistent.
