Look at the photos of what I had in front of me this morning. It's not even noon yet and I'm already posting about this place (cuz I don't wanna forget it - and remind myself to return next time I'm here in the area). The tea, so wonderful. My tomato menemen, perfect - but I did do a mod with simit instead of the sourdough bread - and ordered extra yogurt and kibbeh (vegan available) for the table. Service was top notch - there but not in our face and fast. We were here on the earlier side so plenty of tables available - but they started filling as we were heading out. Just such a lovely place overall.

The jam was the strawberry and rhubarb jam from my wife's monte cristo. Lastly my daughter got the blueberry pancakes and these may have been the most perfectly cooked pancakes ever. They were slightly crispy in the top and bottom but still soft and chewy inside, so damn good. On top of the food, the waitress was so friendly and talked to us about the campus, gave us some great tips and talked to my daughter about her Penn State experience, she was so helpful!

I had a great lunch with an awesome Rueben and shoe string fries. Home made corned beef on an excellent marbled rye. FYI The fries were a little cold. I also considered biscuits and gravy but they don't serve home fries after 11:00, odd for a breakfast all day place. The banana bread French toast also caught my eye so I grabbed a slice of banana bread to go. Service was fast and friendly Prices are in line with the "new normal", sandwich and a drink was $16.

My eggs Benedict were cooked perfectly and the ham was good and the highlight of the dish. The hollandaise sauce however was watery and on the cool side. The hashbrowns were average. The star of breakfast was the corned beef hash, simply top notch. We will return for a second experience.

First the positives: the staff were friendly and responsive, prices extremely reasonable, and the food was tasty and of good portion - especially the pancakes that my wife had but are not pictured. The not so positives: our order was missing requested items (staff did immediately address), the rye "toast" was under done (more bread than toast), the entire place is in need of TLC, especially the carpet which is so soiled that it should be replaced. The bathroom was clean but rundown. Overall, a mom and pop location that offer good food and that is in need of some TLC. The decor and aesthetic condition has not changed since the pandemic. The current owners are approaching their 2nd anniversary in February 2026. With some refreshing this could be a go to top choice.
