I had this restaurant on my list to go for a while. Took family and friends. Everything we ordered was flavorful, well-portioned, and satisfying. Best brussel sprouts I’ve had; great fried chicken (in a bucket), great beet salad, tasty burger. The only note I have is the fried chicken sandwich was dry, and the bread didn’t pair well with it. Their sweets are worth a try as well, albeit expensive. This is a great place between us and our friends.

Visited on a Sunday morning around 10:30am. It was pretty busy but was able to grab a table outside. There is a good amount of indoor and outdoor seating options. Order inside at the counter and seat yourself. Quick and friendly service. Enjoyed all the food! Loved the chilaquiles with scrambled eggs, the flavors are great! The watermelon mint aqua Fresca is refreshing. Excited to come back and try other menu options. Would highly recommend!

Great local joint serving real good food. You order and pay up front and find a table. They’ll even bring it out to you to eat in the park right out front. Fun decor with a punny sense of humor.

The chimichurri steak sandwich is fantastic! The steak is not over cooked, soft! The sauce is amazing. They have freshly squeezed orange juice which is always a plus for us! We also ordered egg benedict which is disappointing. However, our coffee loving friends ordered cappuccino and coffee, and they love it!! Also ordered some sweets for to go. The scones is great, I paired it with black tea with milk for the next morning breakfast. They also deliver food to the adjacent sunny park! That’s very cute!

Yum, yum, yum. What a great little spot nestled in front of the homey downtown park. I only had a latte and scone, but I will be back to try some of the delicious items I saw others enjoying. It’s one of those cute little spots that feel like being on vacation.

Amazing, quick service and wonderful food that you can tell is made with love. Homemade pastries served daily with a wonderful selection of breakfast and lunch bites. They also have a full coffee bar that is definitely worth trying!

Waited over 20 minutes for my food. Pot pie was good, but not as good as I’d expect for a $20 pie. Chicken tasted like the frozen strips I buy @ Sam’s Club. Scone topping was the highlight. Noisy inside; table that was available was dirty. Had to ask server where I could get my water and silverware. I will not return.

Locally owned. Would be 5 stars if it wasn’t on such a busy plaza / road. I do appreciate that kids can go play at the park but something about the location is always just a bit akward. The baked goods are out of this world and it’s always worth seeing what they have on the menu. If this was in a ‘better’ location, it would be 6 stars across the board!

This clearly wasn’t my type of place. I usually wouldn’t leave a review in this case, but our experience really takes the cake. Find your own table, find your own silverware, find your own water. No waiters, just food runners and one cashier, yet you still need to tip. Imagine the vibe of an old-school Abercrombie, fashionable but unfriendly, overpriced, and mediocre quality. My girlfriends eggs Benedict had an over cooked egg so what even is the point.
