I can't wait to try some more of their products!

So, I thought I would take a chance on something a little different. Big hit! Huge! He likes to keep it simple, just a spread on a piece of whole wheat toast. But, he did mention that it would probably taste wonderful on pancakes. I think we'll give that a try. I see more banana butter in our future. Who knows what other flavors he'll want to try next!

I am not a fan of almonds but their slices seemed glazed and amazing. Also, I was surprised about the raw asparagus which was very green and fresh for this time of fall. I tried the basil vinaigrette but eventually gave it to my guest for her entrée; I gave her my radish slices, too. I tried two-fruit flavored water but it was not what I preferred. Large portion for $10.99 so reasonably priced. The restaurant was bigger than I could see. Definitely, I will return and check it out more. One day, I may try another entrée but that salmon salad is on the top of my radar. Only downside is that the restroom is outside the restaurant down the hall. However, it is a beautiful, large, and clean restroom.

The food is super fresh. The Thai Noodle salad was delicious, crisp, tangy, filling.... I wonder how they get the perfect avocados on all the orders? What would give it the 5th star? I'm getting old.... my eyes are getting weak. I would love a printed menu to view. Also, would be great for some more detail. Some of their entrees are spicy that you wouldn't think like biscuits and gravy. The chorizo really gives it an extra kick. (I liked it!) but the hubs who ordered it, is spicy adverse and did not really get to enjoy his meal. Also they don't scramble eggs in the traditional sense.. they come out flat which was odd. I enjoyed it and will be back when in the mood for fresh, healthy goods!

We started with the Short Rib Poutine to share, which was really good. I got the Chicken Marsala and thought it wasn't bad, and she got the Jambalaya Pasta which she liked a lot. There were honestly several things on the menu I had a hard time choosing between, so I already have an excuse to come back and try something different. Service was quick and attentive throughout dinner. We sat outside on the covered patio right along the Monon, which was really nice and relaxing. I also loved being able to bring our dog with us. I haven't been to many restaurants where we've been able to do that, and it made for a really fun evening. Definitely a place we'll be coming back to.

The restaurant itself is nice and has a beautiful interior and an outdoor patio. Booking was easy, parking wasn't bad either. We were seated quickly, and our server brought menus and water. After that, she completely disappeared. We waited for 30 mins and I walked up to the front desk to check if someone could help us. New guy came to our table and took our order, then 2 mins later the original server came, asking if we were ready to get food... Ever since then every interaction felt awkward. No apology, nothing like "sorry we dropped the ball, here's 10% off your check". The food was pretty good - seafood paella was huge and delicious, hence, an extra star. Seems like a repeating issue at this location, so I hope management makes improvements.

This well-maintained, upscale establishment has an amazing selection of sweet and savory options. The staff are friendly and attentive. After two visits, we've sampled their tiramisu, triple chocolate cake, key lime pie, entremet hazelnut praline, cannoli, palmier cookie, Nutella & wild berry occhi de bue pastries, and their wonderful hot chocolate. So far, there has not been a selection we wouldn't gladly choose again on a future visit. If one wants to treat oneself (which should be done regularly...especially if one has achieved an advanced age); this location provides an excellent opportunity.

Yesterday, I decided that I would not be cooking dinner and instead opted to order pizza and dessert to be picked up on my way home. This is such a cute, quaint little shop located in a tiny strip mall next to a gas station. So very unassuming, yet quite impressive. I loved the two cute yellow tables and chairs out on the sidewalk as well as the Sinatra that was playing when I entered the shop. I was greeted warmly and let me say how much I value a pleasant and genuine interaction like that. Someone came to the front of the store from the kitchen in the back, and she too greeted me with a very welcoming and warm smile. This fact alone makes me want to return and support this place of business. My pizzas were prepared fresh and handed to me hot out of the oven. The deserts, an assortment of 3 different kinds of cookies as well as two slices of cake, were kept separate and cold. My husband loved the pizza (he is somewhat of a connoisseur) and I enjoyed it as well. The carrot cake was a bit dense for my liking and the pistachio ricotta was decadent. My husband really enjoyed these sweet treats as a night cap! I loved the cookies. I ordered the Peanut Butter Brownie Swirl cookie, the Pistachio Chocolate Crunch cookie, and two of the Pistachio Thumbprint cookies. My personal favorite was the Pistachio Chocolate Crunch cookie. It had a great contrast in texture with the soft-baked cookie being perfectly complemented by the crunch of the pistachio pieces, and it wasn't overly sweet. I'll definitely be back to try more cookies, cakes and pastries in the future! They also carry some authentic imported Italian products, such as pomodoro sauce.

The yogurt is really good and the fruit was really fresh so really good parfait. The skill that I tried was just OK. It probably would've been better if it had been heated up.

The best thing is it's in this cute old house with a huge porch. You can sit inside or outside. They will bring you your food wherever you sit. I would've gone back the next day, but they closed on Sundays.

I met up with my family for brunch, and we were all in a waffle kind of mood. I ordered the banana granola waffle and it was next-level good! The waffle was perfectly crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and layered with just the right balance of sweetness and texture from the ample amount of bananas, whipped cream, and granola. Paired with a cinnamon maple latte? I was one deep breath away from writing a personal thank-you letter to the hands that prepared that plate! But honestly, one of the best parts of the visit was the energy. The woman running the register was giving full-on main character vibes. You could tell immediately she wasn't just taking orders--she was living the dream. The care. The joy. The way she engaged every single customer. That kind of presence can't be faked. It felt like ownership--even if it wasn't, it carried that level of pride and purpose. The indoor seating is cozy (read: tight but charming), but there's plenty of outdoor seating and as Indiana finally remembers what sunshine feels like, this is going to be the spot. Perfect for lingering over a latte, reading a book, or catching up with a good friend. Come for the coffee. Savor a waffle. Watch out for the redhead!
