    Omelette

    My favorite place for breakfast and brunch. I probably tried all their omelette and they are all great. Today I ordered "the works" and it did not disappoint. My friend had the Turkey Sandwich and she liked it too. Server was very nice and came to our table checked on us a few times. Many people. I really like this place. Forgot taking menu pictures.

    I came around 10:15 am on Friday for brunch. We got seated right away. Our waitress was very nice and accommodating. Very bright inside and great atmosphere for brunch. Ordered a seasonal item - donut holes to share. I got the egg Benedict and my husband got the biscuits and gravy. I love what I ordered, the potatoes were very tasty also.

    Sat quickly on a Friday brunch hour. Iced coffee was better than expected at a sit down restaurant. Seasonal plates and drinks offered. Everything fresh and delicious. Easy to pay at the table with a QR code on the receipt.

    I was seated right away. The waiter was very friendly she even recommended items to choose from the menu. It was a very quiet environment. The food came out hot and quick.

    Great breakfast and lunch spot! We love coming here for a great breakfast or lunch. They have a variety of healthy items as well as delicious sweet options. We love coming here

    I usually always grab breakfast here on the weekend during my visits and I recommend that you get there early and put your name in bc it gets very busy. The hosts are fairly friendly and will grab your phone number. You also pay up front when you are done with your meal. The restaurant is efficient but also makes you feel like it's every other chain because it is. The menu has a nice rotating menu as well as a traditional menu that has an assortment for everyone. The servers are generally nice as well and the food comes out consistently well. I will continue to come here for a nice breakfast with family and friends

    WAIT TIME- We went here on Saturday for brunch. We got on the online waitlist before we left the house, and then we waited for about 15min upon arrival. PARKING- The restaurant is near Target and a bunch of other stores, so the parking lot is huge. We didn't have any trouble finding a spot. ATMOSPHERE- It was crowded but that's expected on the weekend. It wasn't too loud, we had plenty of space at and around our table. SERVICE- Everyone who worked there was friendly and professional. Our server gave us a carafe of water so we didn't have to wait for refills. The manager rang us up at the end and he was so funny and nice. FOOD- The food was delicious! My partner got one of the breakfast burritos (pictured) and loved it. I ordered a cinnamon crunch latte (not pictured), which was super sweet and dessert-like but good. I also had an omelet (pictured) and it was amazing!! We also ordered the donuts (pictured) but were so full, we ended up taking them home and they were still excellent.

    Carnitas Breakfast Burrito with cajun chicken instead of carnitas - picture taken after I ate over half of it.  It is huge!

    The shop itself is a former home-turned café/shop. So, parking here is very limited and very tight…read more While I could have fitted my car in one of the spaces, the two cars on either side were too close to the parking lines for my comfort so I parked across the street at the bank and walked over. When you enter, it's very small but very well put together décor wise. Each area had signs that discouraged movement of their furniture and had its own kind of theme. I was meeting up with a friend and her daughter and unfortunately did not realize they had the typical café hours (closed at 2pm) so my visit was very quick (30 minutes) and I had to rush my conversation. I ordered an iced Monstera Mint latte and chocolate coffee cake slice. When the barista called up my order, I repeated my order asking if it's mine (they don't use a name system) and apparently *I* mispronounced MONSTERA because she turned her back and said within earshot to her coworker how I did not pronounce it correctly and why do people say it incorrectly. I am not a big plant person so excuse me for not knowing how every single plant name is pronounced. I know people vent at work, but it made me feel uncomfortable the rest of my visit, so I was glad it was almost time to leave before they closed. Vent after customers leave if you have to.... Anyways, my MONSTER-AH mint latte was good, but the chocolate coffee cake was a bit too dry for me. And service could have been a bit more professional in my opinion.

There was plenty of comfortable seating inside with the entire bottom floor devoted to a plant and gift store, with a couple more plush chairs near the back. We got the Lucky latte and Monstera white chocolate mint mocha. They were delicious and very sweet, though light on the coffee. On Sunday morning, there was a good amount of people but it didn't feel crowded. It was easy to find a table and the noise level was perfect. In the countertop pastry case, they had carrot cake and an assortment of muffins for $5 each. All in all, come here if you want a sweet start to your day!

The staff were friendly and smiling and made me feel very welcome. I got a biscuit and gravy and couldn't decide between spicy gravy or traditional sausage gravy so I was offered the opportunity for half and half and I jumped in it. Both gravy's were so flavorful with plenty of sausage. The biscuit was delicious. It was not flaky and buttery but held up well to the gravy atop it so I liked the texture a lot. I also got a hash brown and it was seasoned well and needed no ketchup or the like. It wasn't amazing, but compared to some others it was very good... but let's face it, I didn't go to a biscuit shop for the hash browns. I got a peach tea which was outstanding. Definitely on the sweeter side but that was so easily fixed by letting the ice melt to bring the sweetness down a bit to my preference. Overall I was very happy with my food and the staff and would definitely recommend giving it a try for both sweet and savory biscuits. Will return to try a sweet biscuit next time :)

There are plenty of breakfast and biscuit spots in this city. Don't spend your money here. I have been eating here for a long time and recently had a terrible experience on weds, Jan 28. It was my girlfriend's birthday and we chose to come here to start the day. It got a little busy after we came in , but asked for water and the jug never got filled. That's not even my complaint. Just a nod to the laziness. The staff seemed to come in and spread out everywhere at a table in the small indoor eating area. No big deal, but a little messy. There was no music playing and my gf said in normal conversation to me that there was no music and the vibe was off and that they probably focus on the patio being the vibe (which was covered in a foot of snow)...to which the man at the counter proceeded to ask us how things were and wrap it up with snarkily telling us we were welcome to outside. It was gross to talk to customers like that, and I am sorry that the ego of the employee caused them to interject themselves into a conversation that wasn't rude or loud or had anything to do with them. In my 20 years in the industry I would definitely not support my staff practicing such crappy service. And it really embarrassed us publicly in a quiet restaurant for no reason. Again. Please spend your money at another local business with mature and respectful service. *edit: after reading another recent review about poor service to a family of black people, I wanted to note in my review that my gf is also biracial...

My friend had a plate of Rigatoni with Italian sausage that I tried a bite of and was deliciousness as well and the pasta had a very garlicky sauce as well that I want to go back for soon. I'll probably opt to dine at this Twin Oaks location from now on, it's more elegant but still warm and inviting than the other locations. Also I found the service much friendlier than the others as well.

I ordered the mixed grill and for a free appetizer they brought me a pita and trio of three pastes that I loved and was very tasty. The mixed grill was all the usual combination of skewed meats including beef kofta, lamb kabob skewer and chicken shish tarwook and wow! it was killer, and loved the side of deliciously spiced rice, grilled onion and tomato.

I was surprised to see it tucked away in the strip and had it not been for the sign, I def would have missed it. When I first walked in, I was greeted immediately and shown to a table. I happened to be one of five people there (2 couples), so it's nice to know there are other early risers like myself. Prior to coming, I looked at the menu online so I'd have an idea of what I wanted once I went. I stuck with water and got the scrambled combo with cheddar, spinach, and green peppers. It also comes with potatoes and your choice of toast, a biscuit, or an English muffin. I got the sourdough toast. One of the plus sides to being an early riser is that the places you go aren't packed, which means you'll get your food quicker. Mine came out in record timing (then again it helps when you're 1 of 5 people there, 4 of which already have their food). The first couple bites were meh. Once I sprinkled salt and pepper, it was like the eggs and potatoes came to life! The toast was as I expected (good), then again, I have yet to taste sourdough that wasn't good. Overall, my server was kind and attentive. The vibe of the restaurant was as quiet and cozy, then then again, it could have been the fact that his was 8:15 am. Regardless, I liked it enough to want to return!

    Food is always fresh and good and reasonably priced. They could use one more server to help out.read more
