Small, cozy spot for breakfast with probably the most friendly staff in town. You’ll find a coffee bar with some specialty coffees too.

The Digs:
A medium-sized restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner all day. A coffee bar is in the front, and a small bar is in the middle with a couple of beer taps. There is also a small front porch with a few tables for those that choose to sit outside.
The Grub:
Nothing to write home about here. Standard diner food. I felt like they could have made just a few small tweaks to make it great but it was missing some flair. Definitely, not terrible food, just nothing memorable.
I had the standard 2 egg plate with bacon and potatoes. The potatoes are not fresh, more of the frozen/fried variety. The over-medium eggs were crispy on the edges, if you like that sort of thing, they do have a nice crisp. The bacon was pretty good but inconsistent. On one plate the bacon was cooked pretty well, another plate looked barely cooked. I got the wheat toast and it had a very strong wheat flavor which surprised me. It was good, but then I saw the sourdough, which looked like it was probably delicious.
The Service:
The most friendly staff you could ask for! They were all SUPER nice and helpful.
The Scratch (Per Person):
