We both ordered the biscuits and gravy— I got the full order, and she ordered a half—but neither of us could finish the generous portions. The biscuits were homemade, country-style, and incredibly fresh, while the sausage gravy had the perfect consistency and was loaded with sausage chunks. The staff were enthusiastic and attentive, always keeping our cups filled and ensuring our needs were met. It's a small spot, but the service is excellent and comes with a smile. I think we’ve found our new go-to place for weekend breakfasts!

The biscuits and gravy are amazing, and their cinnamon rolls are the best I’ve ever had!

The food is excellent, but the staff is quite occupied, making it difficult to request refills or anything else you may need. read more The food is excellent, but the staff is quite occupied, making it difficult to request refills or anything else you may need.

It's consistently good every year I've been coming here. My go-to order has always been the little dippers with a side of bacon and a glass of orange juice. It's definitely the best item on the menu, hands down. The only downside is the limited vegan options; one of my friends ended up just sipping his orange juice the whole time. As for the ambiance, it's styled from the 1960s to the 1980s—so cozy and nostalgic in a way that's just charming. The reason I gave it four stars is that it’s not open right now. That’s disappointing, especially since it’s due to staff shortages. It's sad to see my favorite cafe closed.

I love biscuits and I enjoy gravy, but when it comes to eating biscuits with a fork and knife as if they were a mini steak—I just can’t get into it. I still wanted to try the gravy, so I opted for Trig’s Special, which is a delicious reindeer sausage and veggie hash topped with gravy. I can certainly vouch for it, as well as the gravy—it was fantastic. The coffee was excellent too, and the service was both prompt and friendly.
