Enjoyed eating here. First of all the waitress was amazing. The veggie wrap with Eggplant was delicious. The seasoned fries and the sweet potato fries were good. My burger topped with onions and mushrooms was excellent. I would like to come back and try food from their breakfast menu.

What is there not to love about this place. Delicious homemade brunch. Everything is cooked to perfection and with love and care. The owner is a sweetheart and always around catering to your needs. It’s like a little oasis, hope away from home. The decor is super unique. I’m a coffee aficionado and was so glad that the coffee was great too! We had the egg omelets and waffles and they were wonderful! Haven’t tasted waffles with such perfect texture in a really long time. Decadent and airy at the same time. Will definitely be back with more friends and family. Thank you for such great food and service!

We had the pleasure of ordering from this lovely place for our company breakfast! Tracy, the owner was incredibly accommodating, pleasant and honest! She uses whole foods and makes everything fresh! The eggs and pancakes were still hot when they arrived ! I whole heartedly loved the experience and would recommend to anyone who is looking for good food and even better service!

Lovely local eatery. Typical NJ diner feeling. I came with my mum and we noticed the diversity in the customers: older, younger, police, local neighbors, to-go, and stay in. Everyone seemed to know the servers so there seems to be many regulars. The decor is eclectic. Neighborhood is quiet, and there’s lots of parking. Food was average, but atmosphere and friendliness made up for that.

That BBQ hamburger was amazing. I ate tons of these amazing fries and there are still tons left. I started down the street because I had a work call but that place was noisy so I came here and inside was perfect but then lots of people came in so I went outside which was perfect. In addition to the amazing food I appreciated how attentive the staff were with making sure my order was right and working around me on a zoom while trying to order and eat. Really enjoyed my stop here!

First time visiting this restaurant. Came here during brunch on a Sunday. Decor inside gives off beachside vibes. Very cozy interior. We ordered the Benny specials. One chicken and waffle Benny and one Jersey Benny. They were both delicious. Portion sizes were good and healthy. Coffee was fresh and strong. My only caveat was the French toast. Though the French toast was good, it lacked flavor. Other than that the staff is friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back to try out different menu options.
