Recently made Nilly’s my daily breakfast spot. The staff there are so friendly and personable! The food is all made fresh to order, but the real gem here is the baked goods. Such amazing flavor infusions and there is something new to try almost every day. I had some coconut/cinnamon/chocolate monkey bread the other day that I couldn’t get enough of. I look forward to my visit every day and always leave extremely satisfied.

Wonderful service, staff and food, Homemade baked goods and wonderful choices for breakfast. Daily special includes a breakfast sandwich and coffee for under 8 dollars. A cake of apples and butterscotch was delicious. If i was staying longer I would have returned for another breakfast visit. The cafe is cute and has a European feel to it. Worth a visit if in the area.
