Kit RojasSeptember 21, 2015Great brunch spot, complete with a great crew and crowd. Their chicken and waffles are a must-have. Wait in line to order at the counter and get seated to be served for eat-in.Upvoted 2 weeks ago- Amber HackerFebruary 22, 2014Delicious! Serves breakfast and lunch - small venue so get there early. Pick up takes at least 20 min for sandwiches so call ahead with your order.
- Richard GongMarch 10, 2015Great breakfast in this community eatery. Excellent service. Chicken and waffles their specialty can't go wrong.
Renee BaldwinAugust 17, 2013Outside seating . Great selection of food. Breakfast , lunch and dinner. And coffee. Cuban coffee . Prices and pretty good also.
MsTwixt MsTwixtSeptember 13, 2014Closest coffee and breakfast sandwich to Carter Barron / Stoddert soccer fields. But the lines are LONG, so plan accordingly.- Order the Open Face Shrimp Omlette it's not on the menu but its delicious! $10
Lucia TheresaJuly 8, 2016To avoid looking like a newb, you have to order at the counter then go find a table. Table squatting is frowned upon and only after ordering a meal can you rightfully claim your table.
Andrew WisemanNovember 21, 2015Nice little coffee shop and diner. Breakfast sandwiches pretty solid.
Kiara H.September 1, 2013The food was great and inexpensive. Make sure you come before 3PM if you want breakfast.
