StephSeptember 16, 2012Worth the wait! The staff moves quickly and the food comes out fast. The omelets are light and fresh - not heavy or greasy. Opt for the cinnamon toast and fresh fruit!Upvote3Downvote
Ann PadgettAugust 31, 2014The omelettes are amazing, and the Bloody Mary was great. Perfect brunch with my bff.

Jay BaldwinMay 27, 2014The bread is house made, and delicious. Strawberry Jam was fresh as well. I prefer the bread over the English muffin, although a lady behind us ordered her sandwich with the cinnamon bread!UpvoteDownvote
Megan BrownOctober 28, 2013Never had anything like the French toast! Yum! Everything is good. Split an omelette and French toast with someone. Perfect!

I've never had a bad meal here. Ever. Breakfast or lunch, can't go wrong.UpvoteDownvote
The best omelettes in town. I like mine with avocado, spinach, tomato and goat cheese.Upvote1Downvote- It's called "the omelet you can't refuse" for a reason - I can't, and I won't. Ask for a side of the pesto.
