Fantastic breakfast! The egg, cheese, and bacon croissant was delicious and fresh. The pancakes were soft and fluffy. The food came out quickly. Staff was friendly! Will definitely come back next time we're in town.

The people here are always so friendly and the food is delicious! On our most recent visit we got the Petaluma crepe (with Nutella, strawberries, and banana), the smoked salmon Benedict, and lentil soup. Everything was great!

Chicken fried steak was possibly the best breakfast I've ever had. Enormous portions, incredible food, friendly staff and great views. This place is an absolute gem. I'd give 6 stars if I could.
