Friendly service. The ham, cheddar cheese and spinach Omelet together with the potatoes were well seasoned. The pancake battery could use some taste, maybe a little vanilla extract. But I enjoyed my meal, the atmosphere and the cleanliness of the café. I would definitely recommend others.

This food for the first time tried. Owner/manager was quite professional and polite. You can say that this restaurant values give its customers a good experience as employees are well trained. The food was good. The service was a little slow, but not at the point where we would not return. Only complaint was that the seat we were assigned was not very comfortable on wooden benches.

I ordered the French toast with banana and seasonal berries. I felt a bit shortchanged on the banana, especially since it was an extra $1; I received maybe a quarter to half of a banana. Perhaps I'm just overly passionate about fruit! The hot chocolate was quite ordinary, but there was a cute little cookie man perched on the rim of the cup, which I thought was a delightful touch – it tasted great, too! I intended to ask if I could order those cookies separately but I forgot. Our server was very sweet and ensured everything was served just as we requested, but unfortunately, I didn’t catch her name.
