I called the waitress over to address my concerns, and she acknowledged that the omelette wasn’t properly cooked. She took my plate to speak with the owner, but the owner insisted that it was cooked to her liking. I couldn't believe it—the vegetables were raw, which might be acceptable, but the eggs were entirely uncooked! She even tried to claim that it was melted cheese, but it was clear that it wasn’t! The owner’s attitude was appalling, especially since she wasn’t the one eating it. I absolutely do NOT recommend this place to anyone! Avoid it if you want to spare yourself a bad experience with such low-quality food and management.

Fortunately, the food remained warm, so it wasn't a big issue. As you leave, there's a little kiosk where you can purchase desserts to take home, and there's also a charming boutique shop to explore. It’s just a cozy, welcoming place to dine. The menu is extensive with a great variety, and I would estimate that most entrées are priced between $12 and $15. The staff is friendly as well.

The omelet wasn't a traditional omelet but it is good. I like that the cheese caramelized on the ends of it. The english muffin was good. The pancakes to me smelled like pretzels at first, then I tasted them and they taste like pretzels still. It was very good. One of my favorite pancakes for sure. I definitely recommend coming to this place. I will definitely be returning. The menu is kind of small but that is ok.

And she had the audacity to get indignant about it. It seems to me that she held the stereotype that black folks don't tip. I had already left money on the table and had already planned to leave a little more for our server because she was good. When I told her this she didn't even apologize. I was somewhat upset but I let it go. And just to let you know, tips are optional. Don't get me wrong I believe in tipping when service is good but I refuse to give my money to a place that has somebody there that feels its appropriate to talk to customers any kind of way. Perhaps they should pay their servers a little bit more so they won't have to rely so much on tips. In any event I don't think I will be returning. And it's a shame because I did like this place.

I had the polish sausage and eggs, with pancakes. Very good. All the food we ordered pleased everyone. 1 of those facilities only open till 3pm.
