The corned beef Benedict was a bit salty and the poached egg was over cooked. Service was slow. I’d give it another try and hope for the best though.

Unbeknownst to us they only do breakfast which ends promptly at 1030, we arrived at 1045. Our party of 8 were the only ones in the restaurant with the exception of one couple finishing up their breakfast. All of us ordered sandwiches as we were a little short on time and figured this would be simple for the kitchen. We didn't get our food until after 1130. 3 of our orders were incorrect, but they happily and quickly corrected the issues. The food was good, and the wait staff was very nice. But if you're going there for a quick bite, it's not going to happen (unless they read this review and make some small changes) they did have a sign for hiring a dish washer so I'm assuming they're short staffed by 1 in the kitchen. It wasn't exceptional, but we did not try their bakery which did look exceptional. Maybe visit for dessert and coffee for a better experience.

I had a delightful breakfast here. Good coffee. Good eggs, bacon, grits, and toast. Friendly service. Nice ambiance. I recommend it! read more I had a delightful breakfast here. Good coffee. Good eggs, bacon, grits, and toast. Friendly service. Nice ambiance. I recommend it!

Western omelet was very watery from veggies, sweating rather than sautéing causes this. Toast hard? How? And seriously, what sausage brand? It tastes likeChloraseptic. I'm sorry owners. Came here because the menu was a great concept, but the execution today was way off.

The home fries were particularly fantastic, and I highly recommend trying the Cajun Omelette topped with a stew-like Gumbo—delicious! The coffee and orange juice were also good. However, we spent more time waiting than eating. We waited for menus (which were eventually taken from other tables), waited for coffee creamer (after asking twice, we had to get it from another table), waited for silverware (causing our coffee to cool down), waited a long time for our food (to be fair, the restaurant was quite busy at about 75% capacity), and waited for toast that never arrived. We also waited for coffee refills (which we had to ask another server for while almost finishing our meal), then waited to see if anyone would offer us dessert or anything else (it is a bakery after all), and finally waited for a to-go box (after asking twice, I just got it myself). The check came with the food, but there was no further interaction from our server after that. While all three staff members were very nice and reasonably responsive, they seemed a bit forgetful. If the service were more energetic and efficient, this place could be truly great. Ultimately, we enjoyed plenty of time to chat, and the food was good, but the service unfortunately detracted from the overall experience. #FirstAndLast
