The restaurant itself was nicely decorated and had a mellow vibe. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The food was just okay. Unfortunately, no one wanted to finish their lunch. The burrito was dripping in grease, which was unpleasant. As a whole, was not worth the $60. We ended up visiting another local shop to get something else. It would probably be a nice stop for a coffee or maybe a salad!

Lovely little café! I enjoyed the biscuits and gravy with drip coffee. The B&G has Marksbury sausage, which tasted high quality. Indoor & outdoor seating available. Parking lot is small with only 4 spaces, but there’s a bigger public lot down the block.

First time trying this place! Loved it, food was great and fresh and it was such a comfortable little place to spend the morning. Loved their music that they played also, just really good vibes all around. We ordered tomato confet on a grilled baguette, chose gluten free bread and added a fried egg. It was amazing! And we also got the Hole In the Wall with a side salad. Was good as well especially the side salad, it was simple but very good.

Absolutely! Here’s a continuation for your review:
“I want to leave a good review for a breakfast restaurant. From the moment I walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the perfect tone for my meal. The staff greeted me with smiles and were attentive . I decided to try omelette and pancake, and it was nothing short of spectacular—fluffy, loaded with fresh ingredients, and cooked to perfection.
The coffee was freshly brewed and had just the right balance of richness and flavor, complementing my meal beautifully. I also appreciated the variety of options on the menu, catering to every taste, from hearty classics to lighter, healthier choices.
Overall, my experience was delightful, and I left feeling satisfied and eager to return. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic breakfast experience!”
I can’t wait to come back to try the sandwiches and for sure a sweet crepe !!!!

Great place for coffee, breakfast, and lunch. Everyone is very friendly, and the dining area is bright and cozy. Pastries are delicious (please save me a chocolate croissant!), and I highly recommend the pierogis on the weekend. Not recommended for large groups, especially on weekend mornings, but great for groups of 1-4 people.

My favorite coffee spot in town!! I love the atmosphere! It’s a great place to bring your kids or a date 🙂 The coffee is yummy and inexpensive. The food is delicious!! I normally go for the Tomato Confit or the Hole in the Wall. The frittatas are also yummy! The service is very kind! Definitely recommend

This place has some really nice lighting, nice vibe. The staff were very polite and conversational. The tomato confit was fantastic. They didn’t have the watermelon kombucha that I wanted to try unfortunately. Their French toast was pretty mid, too mushy, and the plate looked a little unappetizing. The blackberry matcha lemonade was really good too.

What a charming little eatery. The morning glory muffin was so good I wanted another. The avocado toast was the best I’ve had, absolutely delicious. Nice variety of coffees and teas, I had cappuccino and was good as well. The atmosphere was comfy with a nice outdoor patio for cooler days. Can’t wait to try more of the menu. Will definitely be back often! Support local small business and try this gem out, you won’t be sorry.

Our hidden gem has been discovered. This coastal style cafe has the best coffee in town, period. The everyday menu, which is great, is supplemented by visiting dishes. Today’s perfect example, and I do mean perfect, was the strawberry cream bread pudding. Creamy, bready, fruity, but not too sweet. If you’re a fan of bread puddings, don’t miss this one. The service is friendly and very competent. They know their work and execute it well. For a great start of the day, try the Birdie cake and a mocha. You won’t be disappointed if you stop here.

Very quaint cafe! Quiche was phenomenal. Morning glory muffin was delicious as well. Lots of great options on the menu and a pretty reasonable price for the quality. I got a large coffee, quiche, and muffin for $15 and it was totally worth it.
