Hi! It was my first time trying this place and I have to say it’s very cute — it feels like a lovely small family business with a welcoming vibe. The host was especially kind and made the experience pleasant. One thing I did notice is that in photos from other guests, drinks and sides were served in glassware, but today everything was in plastic cups and containers (for butter, mayo, etc.). I do wish they would consider switching back to glass to help cut down on waste and elevate the dining experience a bit. As for the food, it was okay — not bad, but not particularly memorable. The potatoes weren’t very seasoned, the eggs were slightly watery, and my toast was burnt along with the bottom of my pancake. I’d love to see them add a bit more flavor or a unique twist to the dishes so it feels different from something I could easily make at home. Overall, I would give this place another try in the future, especially if a few updates are made, because the atmosphere and service were genuinely nice.

My waffle was soft.. First time trying this place, looks great inside. I ordered the waffle with egg and sausage, from first look the sausage was small and mixed with with my watery eggs. I don’t know if it’s because “the kitchen was closing” which wasn’t said to us before ordering if that’s the reason I got left out room. Sad experience for my first time. I paid $13 so I of course was going to attempt to eat it but I couldn’t and I’m a big back, so that says a lot.
