    Ham panini
    Cheri P.

    A great little coffee spot located very close to Purdue University Northwest. Not sure what to order? Just ask one of the friendly baristas. We shared a ham panini sandwich, which was absolutely outstanding and very highly recommended. I had the Spanish latte and it was refreshing.

    Skimpy Panani  90% lettuce

    The Coffee is good. The Panini used to actually have a good amount of Turkey and avocado but is now mostly lettuce. Definitely noticeable decrease in portion size and meat. (See pics on Googles review). If you are looking to dine in be ready to sweat as most of the dinning area has no shade. Is hot inside no matter the season

    Working hard and fast!

    This place is clean, fast and friendly with a wonderful variety of drinks. There's so much more than coffee here: flavored lemonades, ice cream, baked goods, paninis and some perfect looking crepes. The place was full of young adults when we stopped in at 3:00, everyone happy and social. We stopped here on the way through town between Maryland and Wisconsin. We would absolutely stop again.

    For the first time, I went to a place where I can drink my tea and enjoy. The environment and the music. I recommend anyone if you in town.Come by here, the service was great.

    Delicious iced vanilla latte and crepe
    Ruth D.

    We stopped in here yesterday for coffee and a crepe and so glad we did! I had an iced vanilla latte with oat milk. Seriously one of the best I've had. It was so good I purchased a bag of their beans to take home. I also ordered a strawberry banana crepe with whipped cream. Delicious as well. The three women working were so friendly and the location is great across from Purdue. I wish I lived in the area and could come more often! Definitely recommend

    Caramel latte

    Amazing! Loved my drink, the staff were very friendly . The worker helped me order and suggested the latte. I had no idea they had flavored cold foams. It's also very cozy and comfy inside.

    A salted carmel cold brew,  the coffee is delicious,  the menu has a lot to choose from reasonable prices, the employees are so welcoming.

    Coffee and ice cream were great! The staff was very friendly. There was a good amount of space for multiple tables and a relaxing ambiance.

    It's right across the street from Purdue Northwest, so it's a really convenient stop if you're in the area.

And yet I had the best chilaquiles, the best biscuits and gravy and the best breakfast taco of my life here all in the same sitting. Everything I had was an intentional and successful refinement of a North American classic. Best brunch ever. The owner was working. He's charming, interesting and very intentional about his cuisine. It shows in both the product and his discussion of it, which he offers freely. The other staff were also very attentive, wonderfully friendly and extremely helpful. The space is exactly what I'd expect given the food and people in it: charming, eclectic and comfortable. They also have regular live music. I haven't been back for that yet. Given how outstanding everything else I've experienced here was, I'm sure it will be top notch. Absolutely come here. You'll be back, too.

The food selection, preparation, taste and service was outstanding . I especially enjoyed the gravy and corn bread-biscuit item. Yumm. Lovely, spacious ambience. Spotlessly clean all around! Lovely flooring- and the ladies room had a beautiful fireplace. Really! I'd go back with a "sprint" in a moment. (In regular non-bike vernacular meaning "I'd go back in a heartbeat!")

I called right after I seen this and a different person on the phone answered & said I could still come in no issue as long as it's before 2:30pm. I told them what happened and they said the hostess did not know what I was talking about (trying to play it off) and claimed they only told me the business hours, not that I couldn't come in. Why would I lie about this? & if that was the case then why didn't she stop me from leaving? If I wanted the hours I would've called or looked on Google. But no, as I was going up the stairs the host had came to talk to me in the front entrance part of the restaurant before I could even enter the main door. Shame, I liked going here and as a table of 1 I would be pretty quick, about 30-40 mins in and out. Not sure why they didn't want to seat me vs the other group, and I probably wouldn't like to know the answer either. I typically tip more than half the price of my meal since the bill isn't much for one person, but I will take my money elsewhere then. For the owner, the host was the one on 04/12/2026 working at the time I stated above. They were a young female, with glasses, and medium cut hair. Not sure of their name.

The menu covers breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, with what you want when you want, freshly prepared. I ordered a Mexican omelette with jalapeños on the side, and it was bursting with flavor. The biscuits and gravy were fluffy and soft. The sauce was creamy and delicious, with chunks of sausage. It's not my favorite type of sausage gravy, but it was perfect. The cottage cheese was cottage cheese.

Today she decided there was no way they would be able to mess up her order so we ordered from here again. And of course it was messed up. She gave up meat for lent and ordered fettuccine Alfredo and they added chicken even tho she specifically said no chicken. Then my omelette the cheese wasn't fully mixed into the eggs so 3/4 of the eggs had no cheese and then I had a clump of cheese at the end. And the worst was the salad it had a hair in it and bad cucumbers. I get it mistakes happen and stuff so we decided to ask for refunds for the salad and Alfredo since those were inedible and they said they can give us new food or store credit. Honestly I don't ever want to eat there again with that poor customer service to not issue a refund when they made the mistakes. That's just bad management.

The staff made it worse. Service was rude, unorganized, and it felt like we were an inconvenience just for being there. No greeting, no check-ins, no urgency at all. On top of that, the restaurant itself was dirty. Tables weren't wiped down, floors looked neglected, and overall it just didn't feel clean or welcoming, which makes you question what's going on behind the scenes. There are way too many good breakfast places out there to waste your time here. I won't be back.

I ordered the Brisket Hash and Eggs - it also comes with either toast or pancakes - I chose the pancakes, which actually was the best choice and best food I had. The coffee is also pretty good. Bold and HOT. The Brisket Hash is served in a smaller cast-iron dish on your plate. It's super dry. I think it's mixed with some hashbrowns and onions and some spices. But it was way too dry and didn't taste like smoked brisket, so if you were hoping for that taste of brisket, this isn't the right choice. It also comes with eggs and I had them over easy, other than still a little runny and not cooked through, they were okay. The pancakes were the best though. Super soft, comes with butter (on the side) plus syrup and a small tiny cup of applesauce (tasty). They had good flavor and was perfect. Someone at our table also ordered the Biscuit and Gravy. It's a super large flaky biscuit (way too dry) and some dark sausage gravy that tasted more like flour than sausage gravy. It was definitely thick, but the flavor was off. We did not finish it. Others at our table got just eggs, bacon and toast. Something you can make at home anyway, so it's hard to mess it up honestly. And one other person ordered the greek salad. The dressing comes ON the salad already, and it felt like they could have served some extra on the side. Just wasn't enough. Plus the salad was served on a plate, not in a bowl, so salad and toppings fell off onto the table. Not the prettiest presentation. In fact, the theme of this place is - everything is served on a separate dish, so good luck finding space on your table. Plus I feel the prices are way higher than they should be for the portion size and quality of food. The other issue here is that this place is LOUD. Someone in our group uses hearing aids and they had to turn them down because it was way too loud. we could hardly have a normal conversation and there were just five of us at a long table. The chairs are another issue I feel. As you scoot in and away from the table, it feels like the legs are going to break from underneath you at any point. They are wobbly, and very uncomfortable. So, in closing, I wanted to LOVE this place, but it's just an overpriced brunch location with a large two-sided menu of bland food with the loudest rooms imaginable.
