The standout breakfast sandwich, cradled in a soft English muffin, offers a perfect blend of flavors, while the Denver omelette, accompanied by well-seasoned potatoes, showcases a hearty and delightful meal. A sweet interlude is provided by the incredible sticky bun, its rich, gooey texture mingling wonderfully with the gentle warmth of the fresh hot coffee. Each bite seems to evoke the quaint charm and heartwarming essence of Ames. With such an inviting atmosphere and delicious offerings, it’s a place highly recommended for those seeking a gratifying morning repast.

It feels more like a modern café rather than a traditional small-town diner. I wouldn't recommend it for a date unless you're looking for something serious, as the ambiance might send the wrong message. It's just a bit too nice for a short-term fling. Overall, loved the experience!

I tried the Korean steak and eggs, which was excellent. The steak was cooked to perfection—so tender that I could cut it with a fork. However, the fried rice had a few bites that were overly salty, as if someone had dumped salt in without mixing it properly. Overall, though, the flavors worked well together, and I would definitely order it again.
