The Da Hui omelette is delicious -- bacon , spinach , bleu cheese . I add onions . The home fries are great here, too. Just make sure you check out the specials before ordering from the menu!

Nate Beatty

Not what you'd expect in Vermont, but this is one of my favorite spots in Burlington! Get a Ground Swell Sandwich and enjoy this slice of Hawaiian surfing heaven.

Ali Fadil

Go for the crab benedictin and replace potatoes by fruit ;)

Totally charming refurbished gas station ! Breakfast grub is good, solidly prepared. Coffee is a bit weak.

Thomas Pletzer

The Point Break is my personal favorite. And get a mimosa ! Great way to start the morning!

Notabli

Great smoothies for kids (bonus tip: ask for no simple syrup to make it even healthier)!

Kai Adams

Killer Huevos Rancheros ! Great vibe & patio .

Brian Swichkow

To say the waitstaff are "friendly " is a brash understatement, they're awesome. "The Ground Swell " sandwich is amazing, but make sure you have napkins handy. Don't forget the cookies :-)
