A casual restaurant, excellant food and very friendly atmosphere. The owner buys her food from food stores not large chain suppliers. Enjoyed our breakfast and the other customers were just as friendly as the owner. Give it a shot if your in the area. Stopped by again and recieved the same great service, food, and friendly atmosphere. Wonderful coffee cake, great with your morning coffee.

Really great food and some neat and inventive items. (Sassy Tater tots -crab and cheese topped tater tota- and I had a warm brussel sprout & fresh corn & bacon salad). The owner was really personable and fun to talk to. Definitely will come again.
