I have been wanting to try this place for a while. The extensive breakfast & lunch menu did not disappoint and it was hard to decide between breakfast and lunch. They have fresh juices and power bowls for the healthy eaters and craft cocktails and homemade donuts for those looking to indulge. Our server was very attentive and other servers stopped by to check on us which was nice. They left pots of coffee on the table so we had a hot cup at all times. I ended up having the half soup and salad. The White Bean Chili and the Chopped Chicken Avocado Salad were delicious. We also had an order of donuts for the table which were amazing. They came with salted caramel and creme fresh dipping sauces...yummy!! I ate most of the buttery skillet breakfast potatoes off my friends plate and had a hard time stopping since they were perfectly tasty and crispy at the same time. Overall, a great place. I look forward to...

My wife and I came here for breakfast on our anniversary, after finding it on Yelp. We loved the atmosphere and feel of the restaurant, and the service was exceptional!

Everything on the menu sounded great. I got the Trifecta breakfast and my wife got the Chickichanga. Some of the best bacon I've ever had (crispy and maple flavored!) and hands down the BEST waffle I've ever eaten. Slightly crispy on the outside, and warm and chewy on the inside.

The coffee was also excellent, which was a pleasant surprise. It's not Waffle House prices, but you certainly get what you pay for, and more! Our meals were $8-$9 each, which is a great deal for the quality of food and service we received.

We will definitely be coming here again next time...
