You can feel and smellllllll the love the second you walk in the door. We absolutely love the vibes and honest connection with the owners and food everytime we come. If you could bottle Americana, community, and family in one environment, this place has mastered it. Good home food delights that you can watch the chef make. Pastries that are so good they always leave you wanting more. Worth the trip no matter how far you have to drive for this step back in time to the way life should be.

Delightful! Open, airy and relaxed. Great breakfast and all fresh home made fare. We were lucky to have the daily special of beef noodle soup- rich and delicious with a 1/2 sandwich using great bread. I am still wishing I would have raked some of the red velvet cupcakes home!- they WERE INCREDIBLE! A cute chalkboard displays the menu, you order up front and they bring to you- a hard working pleasant couple runs the place. Mixed Style chairs and coffee cups are pleasant. And a standing freezer near the chalkboard has frozen home made pies- like raspberry crumble- wow!! THANKS FOR A WONDERFUL LUNCH!

What a fabulous renovation! The bakery items are top notch. The cheese danish was flakey, crisp, and phenomenally delicious. The omelet was fresh and yummy! Homemade bread toasted stole the show! I’m jealous of anyone who can eat here regularly or buy their bakery items.

Delicious. Everything I've had has been phenomenal. I think I found my new favorite there today, their corned beef and hash. Great service and atmosphere. Price was very affordable. All around a great place. Highly recommend. Update: 8-16-23. Five years later and it's still great. Had the turkey pesto today, and a super fluffy pancake for dessert. Prices are comparable to Subway, but taste far better and FRESH.
