Terrific food and service from Addy. We split a cinnamon roll, and it was a treat. The hash special for the brunch was tasty as well. Coffee was hot and Addy was efficient and polite, a delight. Thanks and we will be back, next time we might dig into some of the delectable looking deserts in the bakery case!

The cinnamon roll is to die for!! Enough for the whole table. We were fortunate to get an upstairs table at the window. Definitely quieter for some old friends catching up. Our server was very understanding that we hadn’t seen each other in some time. Food was a lot for those who had the hash of the day. Great meal with great old friends
