Great neighborhood spot ; food diner typical but a great stop when walking dogs, they can sit outside (when the weather is good)!

Khari Shelton

a cute lil local spot for breakfast . tip: pancakes are HUGE. you can order the stack of 3 and split them between 2 people and be fully satisfied. we each got the egg special and split 3 pancakes .

I do wish that creativity of the bartenders be harnessed by putting their fantastic creations on a menu. One can have something excellent one time, but never be able to get it again...

Larry Hall

Get here early. 2 tops are easy to sit. The French toast is delectable but there are plenty of other goodies. The red ad white checkered table clothes give this place a Paula D. feel.

Cutest breakfast place ever. Fresh squeezed orange juice is a must have. Love at first sip.

The portions are as big as the personality of this breakfast-and-lunch institution that’s packed with tchotchkes and mismatched chairs. Read more

Best neighborhood breakfast spot . Large portions of delicious food. Feels like you're having breakfast at grandma's house. Try every omelette . They're fantastic.

David Jeffery

Come for breakfast , omelettes and Benedicts in particular are great.

Albert Ellenich

Great neighborhood place . Always accomodating. Often serving free juice or coffee when there's a wait for tables. I almost always have Jackie as my waitress ...treats you like personal friends. Nice.

Alan Kercinik

Total dive place for breakfast . Delicious. If you're debating breakfast meats , get the ham . Might be best in city .

Dustin Haley

Great little family owned business. The breakfast was great!

Justin Hughes

Pancakes are overly cakelike, but the f toast is delicious. At busy times the waitstaff is non existent and the owner is a tyrant, making the atmosphere unbearable. I suggest Tweet or Ann Sather.

Noel Harari

Mexican omelette is one of my faves and add some jalapenos to it!

Carol

Nice environment, but the food isn't that great.

Matt Swenson

Bring your dog onto the patio !

Leah Estrada

After being seated first four other parties were seated and got their food before us. Then I had to wait 20 minutes for just a cup of coffee . Horrible service.

Jared Hatch

ORANGE PAPAYA !

Sara Hall

Say yes to bread pudding .

Esteban Gonzalez

yummy apple cranberry french toast ...

Jack Dogs

Enjoy waiting and getting randomly yelled at by the owner for no particular reason. Service will likely suck. Not cozy , not fun. Not worth it. Avoid. Read more
