WOW, just WOWZERS. I order door dash a lot, and this had to be the best meal I have ever eaten. The bacon wasn't just a couple of limp slices, but plenty to eat and enjoy. The french toast was awesome and I was impressed with the overall amount of food. I love your marbled rye and the cappuccino is delightful. I will be ordering again and again and again AGAIN!

These breakfast sides are cooked to perfection, consistently. Local, quality ingredients and they even substituted egg whites for me to get more protein. The side of chicken Apple sausage is so delicious and comes with 4 links!

I'm surprised by how well regarded this restaurant is. Every time I have ordered food, both online and in person, the food has not been good, especially for the price. My orders are relatively simple too. The chocolate chip pancakes I ordered before were so strangely salty that I couldn't finish them. My eggs were gummy and cold upon arrival to the table. The French Toast I ordered today was very bitter. Luckily I ordered chocolate chips and banana which helped. The Bacon , priced at $9, was fine but only came with two pieces. I kept giving it a chance because friends said they enjoyed it and that I must be catching them on a bad day. Other breakfast places in the area seem to close early so it's also more convenient. However, it's just been overpriced and poorly made.

If I knew this place existed I would have ordered them long time ago. I have been waiting so long to taste Karen's Potatoes and eggs like that again! I swear the bell peppers home grown, it tastes so fresh and not really greasy :) can't wait to try more items on the menu.

The coffee latte was bitter, nasty and barely drinkable. Neither my boyfriend or i liked it. It should be smooth and creamy. The clam chowder was tasty but please dice the potatoes a lot smaller. The chunks were huge. The fruitcup was a nice mix of fresh ftuit.
