“ Great food, great service, hidden gem in the metro east! Love coming here with my family of 6. Depending on the rush it might take a while to get seated but always worth the wait. It goes without saying that this is my favorite spot to eat after church service every Sunday. I will try to post pictures next time but I'm too excited to eat that I always forget. ”
“ Great place for an exceptional breakfast. Highly recommended! Veggie options available! Veggie chorizo burrito was so fire!! ”
“ Fantasic place that is kinda hidden downtown! They partner with Long Story Coffee, which makes it a fantastic place to get a great cup of coffee and some incredibly fresh food! My kids split the pancakes, which are huge and delicious! The breakfast burrito and biscuits and duck fat gravy were very filling and fresh! It was nice to pick your own table after ordering your food, and the service was fast and helpful! We will definitely be going back sonetime! ”

“ I was there for Saturday morning breakfast/brunch. There was a bit of a wait to place my order. And then there was a bit of a wait for the food. and then one item of my order was not available, which made the wait longer. however, the food was excellent and worth the wait. the atmosphere is great and the servers did their best being very busy. my friends and I got a table right away. it's a great concept sharing the space with a separate coffee shop as well. ”
“ Amazing place for breakfast brunch. Also has a coffee shop next to it Really great and tasty cocktails We got the turkey sandwich Plus the most amazing fries you will ever taste! Drinks pictured- the sangria and the stumble bee Update Went back the next day Tried the biscuit and chicken sandwich - it’s hot! The smoked salmon dish- delicious The Italian quiche of the day- yummy The French toast - probably my least favourite thing I’ve tried and this is a personal thing the texture was a bit too soggy for me. Also tried the mangosa - mango and mimosa ”
“ I had the pleasure of eating here today, and I had such a pleasurable experience. I tried the griddle cakes, and they were so delicious!!! Fluffy but full of flavor!!!! I also had the shrimp and grits. While not what I'm traditionally accustomed to recipe wise, the dish was still very enjoyable. My last option was the Greek and granola yogurt. The presentation of it was simply beautiful; however, it was not my favorite, but others will find it enjoyable with its abundance of blueberries and blackberries, granola, and honey. I'm excited about returning to try some other really great menu options. Oh!!! Please try the limeade lemonade!!! It was such a tasty vibe! ”
