We arrived about 10:30 the Monday after Christmas. The parking lot was full, and standing room only inside. The cash register inside the door, is where you get on the waiting list, pickup to-go orders and also pay your bill. As you enter into a wall of people, it isn't clear what you are to do. We ended up sitting at the counter, which is open seating. Unfortunately, it is also the sporting area for spread out lines of to-go tickets and storage area for stacks of to-go bags, ready for pickup. Behind you is an ever churning mass of people, trying to get on the list, pay their bill, just waiting, trying to get someone's attention to get a to-go pickup. The food was good, but I would not say great. For a place known for wonderful fluffy omelettes, the scrambled eggs were just a flattened slab. The bacon was cooked crispy. The Swedish Pancakes were thicker, denser and chewer than we are used to. We prefer a thinner more delicate version. We also missed the Lingon berries, which are a part of the true Swedish Pancake experience.

We were in town for a graduation and decided to try this place. We are absolutely glad that we did. The food was amazing, and that was the lowest part. The service was even better than the food. There was always someone walking around with a coffee pot filling cups. I love the plausible denyability of a never-ending cup of coffee because if my doctor asks, I only had one cup. The most impressive part was our server. My daughter has nut allergies, and our sever (I think her name was Carol) was very knowledgeable about the products and made great recommendations around them. It's very appreciated! Not only will we be going here the next time we're in town, but I will absolutely recommend ot to anyone else as well.
