They also serve small breakfast bites, and freshly baked scones. The crustless quiche (like a giant egg bite) was good and pairs well with breakfast tea. The service inside is pleasant and quick.

I love trying local coffee shops, and Bailey's didn't disappoint! I ordered a cold brew flavored with hazelnut, and the drink was delicious. Not overpoweringly sweet, and strong enough to power me through another 4 hours of driving :) Service was great and the overall vibe of the shop is small-town, local, and welcoming. Would definitely recommend!

What made the cafe stand out to my family, however, were the two women running the show. It was kind of a difficult evening, especially with my son who was getting hangry. The women were attentive and accommodating with my kids. We asked for sides of peach slices for the kids since they don't like fries, and that was no problem. We added ice cream too, and my kids were cheerfully served generous helpings. One of them even brought over some coins to give my kids for being good! When you're used to going to bigger establishments in larger cities, you're used to being served as just another table, but the women here went out of their way to make us feel welcome, and we so appreciated that! Well done!

Service was fast, snippy and attentive, everyone seemed to beam radiantly being there even though they were closing not that much later after we sat down. The restaurant itself was clean and so were the bathrooms... which really added to the experience. The "best pizza in town" had a crust that left much to be desired, but came dressed in a very delicious cheese and marinara sauce. In my opinion, they should boast about their fettuccini Alfredo and clean bathrooms rather than their pizzas, because it was truly delicious. Overall, I highly recommend it, just not for what they're famous for.

I've never seen a margarita put in a glass that is intended for whiskey so that was the first I had sweet tea, but it wasn't sweet at all. We ordered our supper at 6:52 PM. I called the waitress over at 7:45 she said they were backed up in the kitchen. I don't believe this was true. Everyone around us had their food except us. I believe she didn't get the order in or they lost the ticket when the meal came at around 8 o'clock. The baked potato would not melt butter. You could hold it in your hand. It was cold. I ordered grilled fish. I got fried fish. My girlfriend had chicken fried steak. It's actually chicken fried chicken she had mashed potatoes. They reminded us both of when we were in high school. We get those potatoes that you're not quite sure they're potatoes. I called the waitress over. I told her about my meal. She said she'd have them remake it. I said no thank you she said she'd take it off the bill. It's not about money. I can afford to eat wherever I want. She didn't offer to do anything else and I believe us having to wait almost an hour for our food was really ridiculous. Needless to say I'll have second thoughts if I ever decide to eat there again.
