The breakfasts are the best!!! Fantastic service, friendly staff, great food, superb taste and quality! I even bought a HOODIE, which was shipped by the owner with love and trust!!!!! Always a MUST!

On 4/20/2026 Lydia Johnson (Lydia) had this to say:
So good! Went with a group of friends for my first visit and it was so so good! I ordered the special "Goober burger". I was hesitant with a name like that (ha!) but the combination of ingredients was out of this world. Provolone, bacon, peanut butter on a blueberry bread, wow! Hands down one of the best burgers I've had. The balance between the flavors was on point and cooked a perfect medium. I also ordered a slice of the lemonberry mascarpone cake and apple raspberry pie to go. The 🥧 was incredible. Can't wait to make another visit!
