Had a delicious brunch at breakfast house! We got the California and Mediterranean skillets and really loved them both. Good size portions to make sure you are stuffed. There’s a dog friendly patio as well. Super nice servers and the food comes out quick. Definitely recommend if you’re in the area!

Very nice breakfast and lunch place. Had a late breakfast of eggs Benedict with fruit. Great food, great service, great presentation and great coffee. Can’t ask for more. The place is clean and well maintained. Comfortable inside or patio seating. The staff made it a comfortable situation.

Great little breakfast spot for the brunch munchies. Lindsay was a great waitress! I will admit the prices were a little high for breakfast. Worth a stop!

Ever since the new ownership, the prices for food have gone up, but the quality of their food has gone down. I live right across the street from there and ordered a dish that came with whip cream and because of the heat I asked for extra with pain and this is what it look like, when I called and asked to speak to the waitress, I spoke to and told her I wanted whip cream. She argued with me that she told my boyfriend who went to go pick it up but it didn’t matter that it would still melt because they don’t do it. How do used to do it I guess they used to make it before and now they just use it out of a can so I asked her again why wouldn’t you still put an extra one so that extra one could’ve been possibly use that it would’ve been as melted Then she replied why did give you an extra one and there were some on your French toast meaning that I have melted whipped cream on my French toast with watery with cream to add ,disgusting lazy and rude people. so if you order the French toast that’s Christian this is what you get melted whip cream French toast for $17

We were visiting our family from out of state and getting ready to head home so we picked here for breakfast as something different. This was by far the best experience with customer service that I have ever had on all our visits out here. Christina was our waitress and she is the definition of amazing customer service! We were a party of 8 (2 babies) and she never faltered. It took a bit getting our kids situated but she literally took the stress of that away. My 1 year old bit my oldest which caused crying from both my kids which our baby was crying waiting for a bottle. Another waitress rushed over with a bag of ice for my daughters arm which was just so kind! The hostess noticed were were a little scrunched when the plates came so he came over and added a table to ours without us asking! My eggs Benedict were unfortunately hard which i contributed to me having to wait to eat as I was feeding the baby. Christina was so sweet when I just asked to pay for 2 new eggs, she was like oh absolutely not, this is a kitchen oops not you so they made me a brand new plate. This will be my husband and my new favorite breakfast spot when we’re out visiting! Everything was truly excellent!

This is the Cali breakfast bowl. I asked my waitress for recommendations and this was most customers top favorite and I can see why. Definitely full after eating and my waitress was very attentive. Only thing that caught me off guard was their white bread. The white bread is a sour dough based I believe. I told my waitress about it and she asked if I wanted to get a new one but I declined. Overall experience? Would definitely come back. Just wondering if the owners could answer if the white bread base is using a sour dough based mix. If it is, so be it but I was definitely caught off guard by it.

Been going here for about 3-4 years now. We live out of state but visit the area often. The food has always been excellent. For most of the time we’ve been going there, we always ask for Heather’s section as she is simply awesome and absolutely the best part of our experience there. She’s so fun and personable. We recently stopped in and weren’t able to get Heather, and got a blonde waitress (forgot her name already, if that says anything). The service from her was sub-par to say the least. She did a great job of making us feel like we were in the way and taking up her time. Such a departure from what we are used to with Heather. The food was still good, but the experience ruined it.

Nice staff but the food was bland. My chocolate chip pancakes came out without the chips. Sent them back and got new ones the flavor of the chips was bad. Hash browns we’re chunky(prefer mine shredded) and tasted like oil instead of potato I wouldn’t have eaten them if there wasn’t syrup to cover the flavor. Both my sisters didn’t care for the food and felt it didn’t have much flavor as well.
