The corner front patio is delightful in the summer. I'm a drip coffee guy and the coffee here is really good, consistent and balanced. I've come here occasionally over the years and love the full egg breakfast. The toasted bread is delicious and, though seemingly expensive, it's a filling meal and costs far less than a breakfast at a sit-down restaurant. I've had many perfectly cooked eggs, and one undercooked, runny mess. It's actually amazing how much delicious food the tiny kitchen can crank out. Occasional mistakes are understandable. Overall, the service ranges from polite to friendly, but on rare occasions indifferent, and once, flat out rude. In reading the reviews, it appears the owner is making Herculean efforts to run a small business with exorbitant food and labor costs. Kudos to them for trying to run the best business possible and for responding thoughtfully to each review.
