Shared a slice of quiche and enjoyed a latte. Baked goods like scones are very large servings and easily shared. Many feature a sugar type frosting. My preference is to forgo this type of topping and just enjoy the baked good itself. Wish the restaurant would offer 1-2 selections plain but obviously, sugar coatings are very popular. Quiche was hot and tasty with bacon and bleu cheese. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Prices are fair given the size of the serving. First time at this venue. Another location in Mt. Vernon. Turkey brioche good too.

Cinnamon buns made into French toast! Try it if you haven't. The little bits of caramelized cinnamon & sugar that are creating during the French toastification process are to die for.
There's other delicious items on the menu and a baked goods case full of goodies, but how can you not order the above?
Whenever we drive past the area, we can hear that sweet cinnamon siren song.

Food so good that I came back two days in a row! I ordered the “Migas” yesterday and the cinnamon roll French toast today! The staff are so kind and attentive and great at their jobs! Wait for food and a table were both very brief. I was stoked to learn that they have oatmilk available for lattes. There are plenty of wonderful vegetarian options here. Oh and the staff do a great job wearing their masks :)

Delicious breakfast! This place is always packed, make sure you get there early and try one of their giant cinnamon buns, they're known for them. The hash is my go- to but their salmon omelet is also very good. Gotta love the staff, we stopped in before a flight and the waitress made sure to get our orders in right away, thanks for being so helpful!

Food was good but it is expensive. I'm not one to want a waitress hovering over our table but I had to track her down a couple times. I even had to ask someone else for help. The water has an after taste. The bathroom was messier than I expected it to be. There aren't biscuits and gravy on the menu! What kind of witchcraft is that? The wait to be seated is long.
The restaurant itself is beautiful. The food is fresh and yummy. The staff are nice.

We met friends for breakfast. The ambiance is a wonderful bakery as you enter to the left and a divided dining area in a 1920 era building with wooden plank floors and brick walls. The service was excellent, confusing but sufficient. What we came for was fabulous farmers breakfast and no disappointment the end 😊. Coffee is better than a mermaid's and if you dare try a cinnamon roll I suggest be very hungry because they're huge. Enjoy like a local 👍💥

Found this little gem while searching for a coffee / bakery restaurant off of I-5. The food was all homemade and excellent! There is even a board showing where they are sourcing their ingredients. We had a half hour wait to be seated on a Tuesday for lunch - it seems to be a popular spot. Service and food preparation was a little slow and prices were a little high - these are the cause of the loss of 1 star (majorly the price). The portions were decent sized, which is good for the price. The setting and atmosphere was comfortable and the service friendly. Definitely worth a stop if you have the
