What our guests are saying
Great food and Barista Coffee. A fancy small bistro with a huge heart. Chicken n waffles with tender juicy cutlets with a mild spicy syrup over a golden waffle. A fluffy biscuit with a sausage patty all covered in tasty white sausage gravy. Gourmet coffee made to order! Nice dining experience.

Spur of the moment breakfast and found this gem! Service is amazing, food is super tasty… it’s super clean as well. Poached eggs were perfect! Hubby has the breakfast burrito he thought was amazing. I can’t say enough about the Bloody Mary!!!!! Will definitely go back!

Damn..... this place really crushed it. Imagine eating a Cubano sandwich, but on a bed of mac and cheese!!!! They also recommended green chili cheese fries over a bed of carnitas, which blew me away..... Outstanding food, service, and great vibe. Highly recommend eating here.
