Good coffee, good food, lots of room inside and out. My favorite is the French Toast. Nice place to enjoy a coffee and get some work done on the computer. Always clean and the workers are friendly. Highly recommended.

Such a great breakfast! I had the breakfast hash with vegan soyrizo which was fantastic. The cauliflower and Brussels were raw which was a unique feature. My partner had a salmon breakfast sandwich and breakfast potatoes and was pleased as well. The restaurant seemed clean and the staff take your order behind a plastic window. I believe they were all wearing masks as well. They do bring the food out to you. Prices were not what we read on the internet though so maybe not updated online.

My grits bowl was outstanding. All of the elements were made with care, correctly balanced, properly seasoned, and served in a perfect portion for a filling brunch. I appreciated the variety offered by the drink menu as well; the lemon-mint spritz was so refreshing. I’m a good cook but when I eat out, this is the kind of thoughtful food I want to buy.
