What our guests are saying

I stopped in for a casual lunch and loved the experience! You order at the counter, and they bring your food right to your table. The cozy, calm space is beautifully decorated with a mix of tables and comfy chairs. My grilled cheese with bacon and tomato soup were delicious, and the oatmeal latte was absolutely perfect.

What a cool and funky spot with fabulous food! I enjoyed a fresh side salad and perfectly cooked chicken, while my husband loved his BLT. The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, and the service was great. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area!

A group of five of us had breakfast here, and everyone absolutely loved their dishes and coffees. My chicken and waffles were exceptional, and the shared poutine was a delightful treat. The flavors, presentation, and atmosphere made for a fantastic start to the day. We’re already looking forward to coming back!
