What our guests are saying
This is a pretty decent local diner. Nothing particularly special but the food is pretty good and the service is reasonable. I got a make your own omelette.

Loved the red stools of the old school diner look, fun vibe to eating at the counter. The other half of the restaurant has tables w a more traditonal atmosphere. Big menu w lots of options, great spot that I can't believe I've missed all these years!

I am so happy my husband picked this beautiful small local cafe for the family to have breakfast. Service was excellent. Staffs felt like family members. Such wonderful people. I had the best pancake. I could never find a place where they serve a pancake i like back home. Definitely going to miss this cafe.
