    Friendly staff! They were able to accommodate my friend in a wheelchair and we were glad to be in the corner so we were out of the way. All of the food was fresh, hot, & delicious. Good sized portions. I recommend ordering tots and sharing an entree. Very cozy restaurant with nice decor. My party of 4 didn't need to speak too loudly to hear each other. Small parking lot and on-street/meter parking. Great place to meet-up or have a nice meal by yourself.

    Passing through and stopped in for breakfast. We both had a simple breakfast, eggs, home fries, toast, and bacon. Food was cooked to order and not bad. The server was prompt and accommodating. The decor was a little dated, the vibe boring. If you're looking for average food and a quick in and out this spot is for you. No frills, just food.

    Caprese Omelette with rye bread

    I found a week day breakfast/lunch place that offers Mimosas! My husband and I are on an adventure of dining at all of the Natick restaurants! We were seated at a table for 2. My husband felt cold from the above AC vent. I went over to another empty table to see if it would be better for us. The owner saw me, I told him the situation, he said Let me help you and moved all our place settings to the new table. So I get my delicious tropical fruit juice blend Mimosa while we wait comfortable for our meals. I enjoyed looking at the pretty window box flowers. Husband was happy with his pancakes and he's a pancake connoisseur! I had my first ever caprese omelette. The mozzarella and roasted tomatoes were delizioso.

    Breakfast! New place. I know the area and if you remember where the dolphin restaurant was, you'll know it too. Parking is limited. Very intimate. Seated quickly, menus in hand. Breakfast choices a plenty. Settled on "the Spartan" (scrambled eggs, bacon, pork sausages, pancakes). Fresh and hot. Coffee was good too. For 8:20 in the morning. Busy but not loud at all. Close and intimate so you don't have to yell to be heard. Easy check out and got to meet Eli, will be back!

    Stopped here for breakfast with my husband while in town visiting family. The restaurant was on the smaller side but we didn't have to wait for a table although they were busy. I ordered the French toast and the loaded tater tots which were both good. I didn't really like the spicy mayo with the tater tots but ketchup worked fine. I did like that the syrup was served warm with the French toast. The waiter was good and attentive. Overall it was a good breakfast experience.

    Breakfast Burrito with some cheesy tots blurred in the back

    Had a lovely experience getting some warm comforting brunch goodies this morning, especially as I was wanting something on the lighter side that I could wolf down with ease. I must say that the breakfast burrito really hit the spot, with how soft the scrambled eggs were and how the textures within the wrap complemented each other quite nicely. Though the real star of the morning would probably be the cheesy tots, with how flavorful they were and how satisfyingly crispy each and every bite was - it was definitely something to consume while fresh and hot! Great and friendly service, comfy and cozy atmosphere, and portions that were just right for an easygoing morning fare. I'd totally come back again!

    Great local spot for lunch! I love the art on the wall of vintage kitchen tools. They typically fill up for brunch and will have a wait 11:00am so get there early or be prepared to wait. Prices are very reasonable and they are very generous about keeping your coffee full. If you do have to wait, stay put it's worth it.

    Rise N' Shine w/ scrambled eggs, andouille sausage, home fries, and marble rye.
    David L.

    Big portions of decent breakfast foods, with a menu focused on egg-based options, including a wide selection of omelets. I opted for the Rise 'N Shine w/ two scrambled eggs, home fries, andouille sausage, and marble rye toast. A few little tweaks could kick this from 3.5/4 stars to 5 stars. The andouille provided a strong, smoky spicy kick, that the relatively bland skin-on earthy potatoes needed. The scrambled eggs were too well done for my liking, but to be fair, I didn't request them any particular way. Marble rye was nice choice, but it always bugs me when they put a dollop of butter in the center rather than taking a moment to spread it crust-to-crust. The restaurant ambience is pleasant enough and the temperature inside was comfortable, but it is in a weird building that doesn't seem to be heated in the hallway or bathroom, so the bathroom is freezing and had no hot water. On the bright side, the portions are perfect - enough that you can skip lunch or have some leftovers. Coffee was smooth and hot with refills upon request. The fruit cup is more like a fruit bowl, with a nice amount of honeydew, cantaloupe, pineapple, and grapes. Service was prompt and friendly on a busy Saturday morning.

    Soooo many delicious options- the byo sandwiches and breakfast all day choices are dwarfed by…read moresneaking in some amazing specials. They have a stuffed French toast with banana and fresh berries that are enormousl. The strawberries are large and full of flavor, even in winter. Thick buttermilk pancakes that taste delicious with real maple syrup. What of our party likes to come here for the dessert and let's fix it, there's just nothing wrong with dessert, especially $2 cookies and a whole list of other snacks that are affordable for a family to share. The deli meat in the sand Wings is what she would expect from a New York deli. A nice thick heap on fresh bread. There is also date and a strawberry butter served. So many fresh and creative options that you can never go wrong. For drinks, there is the egg cream to the Z-mosa (mimosa plus pineapple and more? Heck yah!) Additionally, there's all kinds of fun and unique art on the walls in a very fresh style with lots of layers and imagery to look at from Mass artist Danny O. Bring your I- spy game on! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Even though there are lots of restaurants in the area, this is a place we always go. Leslie, this place has some of the nicest staff, and he will always receive a thank you of appreciation for being here. They want you to be here they want to serve you, and they love their work. Bonus challenge, find at at least two pieces of art that have Thomas the Tank Engine in them.
