I had rather high hopes, given the reviews.
Upon arriving, we were put into the queue (which is understandable for lunch time). We waited outside for about 30-35 minutes.
After being seated, we put our orders in pretty quick. Food took about 10-15 minutes. I did have to ask for silverware after our food arrived since our server must’ve have forgotten.
We tried the French toast platter & the Caprese sandwich. I noticed the food looked as if it was quickly thrown onto my plate. The French toast was good; soft, crunchy, cinnamon-y. The eggs, however, were probably the oddest I’ve ever eaten. Not sure if they cooked them in the same area as the French toast, but they were weirdly sweet.
All in all, I wouldn’t say not to come here but I don’t think our food was worth the wait & price.
Beware: You will probably leave smelling like grease. The kitchen is diner-style so all the smells are out in the open.

This is a cute small little cafe. The food was good and so were the drinks. The staff was very friendly. I highly recommend checking them out!

Amazing food, kind staff, cozy environment, and great coffee! The food was delicious (I had the garden omelette) and came within 10 minutes of us ordering it.
For the price, the portions were very generous and filling!
Highly recommend

Food, service, and atmosphere were all great. We sat in the front, which was a bit tight, but I wanted to be by the window and people watch. There are more ample seatings in the back.
Beware of the 3.99% credit card usage charge, which is a bit steep. This is why I am giving them 3 stars instead of 5. I didn't see any signs posted or on the handheld credit card terminal when I went to swipe. There might have been signs up, but I didn't see any.

Food is AMAZING. Everything else is horrible. Every single time I’ve tried to go something is messed up. First time there was a piece of straw wrapper in my drink, second and third time they forget utensils/napkins AND syrup for french toast that I didn’t want without it. It’s always something with this place whether you go in or takeout.
