I waited 15 minutes to be cashed out for a coffee I had already recieved. When someone came back up to the front, I said that I just needed to pay for my coffee. The worker didn’t acknowledge me but, went ahead and grabbed cookies for a person behind me asking for some to be added to their order they hadn’t paid for yet. She got their meal, cookies, and cashed them out. She finally cashed me out, the tap machine wasn’t working so I offered to pay cash. After I gave her the cash, she turned her back and I stood there waiting for change, she started assisting the next customer, I asked for my change. She replied that they didn’t give change back. To act like you don’t see me still by the counter, and assist the next customer is odd. She acknowledged all the male customers when walking in from a back door but couldn’t acknowledge me or just cash me out for a coffee that I received 10 minutes ago. This is not the first time one of the female workers has been caddy to me. I will not...

Lots of beverages options and a full breakfast and lunch menu with items such as the Classic breakfast (can be French toast, pancakes, omelets, or eggs, plus a meat, a side, and your choice of breakfast bread with a tea or coffee) for $9 to Shrimp Poboy sandwiches.

They also have a variety of desserts to choose from as well including pies and cakes.

I had the Classic egg breakfast with pork sausage, a cinnamon raisin bagel, grits, and a vanilla spice tea. The meal definitely hit the spot, though my eggs were scrambled a little harder than I usually like. I'd just order soft scramble next time because it's definitely worth a second visit to try more from their lunch menu, which is available all day.

The atmosphere was casual and you could definitely tell it was popular with those in the neighborhood as the owner seemed know everyone coming in off the street. The even have a a little candy shop area that I'm sure...
