Quite an aesthetic and cozy diner with both indoor and outdoor seatings. The place is pretty huge and spacious, and the interior is well decorated and maintained as well. The place is quite clean and has good music. During busy hours it does get a bit loud. The prices were good, and the portions were quite generous as well, the chicken pot pie was freshly made and smoking hot. The chicken sandwiches were also amazing with huge portions. Overall, had a great time here. However, the service could be slightly improved. Outside it said wait to be seated but we stood in the sun for a while and no one came to us, and kept us waiting while the cashier was serving other customers, it felt a bit understaffed. Even during ordering or while eating there was no staff outside so we had to wait for someone to come out if we needed anything. But other than that. Definitely worth checking the place out, would recommend.

The restaurant is such a cute place ❤️ loved the ambiance, it’s super cozy. The food was good & the custumer service was great!
We went the weekend after Christmas so it was super busy so we did have a long wait; plus they only had one cook at the time until another one came through to save the day! ✨️

Du-par’s never disappoints! The food is classic and delicious, the portions are generous, and the service is always warm and friendly. It’s got that old-school 1930s charm that makes the place feel extra special. The line can get pretty big on weekends, but it’s totally worth the wait. Always a favorite!

Had a mixed experience here the Breakfast items are Fantastic- the pancakes were fluffy,and the bacon and hashbrowns were cooked perfectly crispy, However .. I was very disappointed w- the meatloaf. It didn’t seem fresh and had a questionable appearance, so I couldn’t eat it .. stick to the BREAKFAST MENU!

Best pancakes in town. Fluffy and delicious . Breakfast was awesome and will return to try their lunch menu. Pretty famous, so the waiting line will be pretty long on the weekends but we’ll worth it.

I was craving for some pancakes and Du-Pars have the best pancakes! I love their coffee too with free refills. They have great food and have plenty of parking. They are located by the Farmers Market right next to the Grove.

Classic old school restaurant vibes, best buttermilk pancakes EVER, the coffee’s plain but it’s great! The service here is 2nd to none, the fruit juices are ridiculously fresh & delicious and you can walk it all off at the sexy shops at The Grove.

Du-par’s Bakery is a solid spot if you’re looking for classic baked goods and diner-style comfort food. The pastries and pies are fresh, and the portions are generous. I tried the blueberry pie and a maple bar—both were excellent, with rich flavor and good texture.
The atmosphere feels like an old-school diner, which adds to the charm. Service was decent—nothing outstanding, but polite and efficient. Prices are a little high, but not unreasonable for the portion size and location.
Overall, a good place to stop for a treat or a casual breakfast. I’d definitely come back, especially for the baked goods.

I think their breakfast menu is limited and pricey. However, dinner meals such as country chicken, lemon garlic chicken, fish and chips, and beef liver are amazing. Nice atmosphere and employees. Good place if you want a traditional American meal that tastes like homemade.

Every time I have showed up at the back window for ordering recently (past few weeks). There’s no one ever there. I’ve been told the back ordering area opens at 7. Many times I have gotten there after 7 an go to the back ordering area since I’m just getting a small pastry. An many times I have stood there waiting for 10plus minutes with no sight of anyone attempting to comes even with their back door wide open an workers inside walk by an see me standing there.
Today it happens again. Not only was I waiting. There were several other people arriving to pickup deliveries they need to drop off. The man also waiting with me tried knocking on the counter. Speaking clearly through the open door asking for help.
We get completely ignored. Then the back door is just shut entirely.
There are no bells on the counter to get workers attention. There’s a security camera point right at the counter but they clearly don’t use that to see if people are waiting.
I’ve even come to the back with a lady thats usually the one working back there. She’ll clearly see me waiting to order but will just continue with whatever task she’s doing. No “hang on a second” or a “hello”
Almost have to beg to get her to notice me.
All in all was my spot for cinnamon rolls, not anymore. If you want better ones there’s a small coffee shop near the front of the farmers market. There’s are even still warm from being prepped in the morning
