The carefully curated menu has all the classic breakfast and lunch staples - omelets, eggs, pancakes, etc, and for later in the day, soups, salad, sandwiches, pork chops, NY steak and even fried chicken! I ordered a breakfast sandwich with eggs over easy, and the bacon on the side, and everything arrived perfect and hot. Tender, crunchy, gooey deliciousness with the sandwich and bacon! The home fries were also tender on the inside with a delicate crust. Add salt if needed for that. I really liked how clean everything was here, and it was apparent that the owners take good care of their customers and establishment. Kudos! I'll definitely look to come back here next time I'm near!

I came here on a Saturday afternoon with a friend to check out this place. I parked on the street…read moresince their little parking lot was full. The exterior is adorable! It's an unassuming building but they've made it very cute! They have painted the brick around the bottom to look like stone as well as a continuation of the awning painted around the top. The inside is just as interesting. There is a huge wooden map of the world on the wall, a piano, and the lights over some of the tables are made from teapots. There is a large bar in the middle and plenty of seating. This place is larger than it appeared from the outside. The menu offered several types of teas- white, green, herbal, black with several different flavors within each type of tea. I chose a tropical white tea. It came out nice and hot with a packet of honey. My friend ordered a sweet crepe with mixed fruit. She loved it! I decided to try their unique offering of 6 mixed pancakes. It included 4 savory pancakes (beet, zucchini, squash, potato) and two sweet pancakes (Oladi, farm cheese). One of the sweet pancakes was fluffy but dry and flavorless. I think it was the Oladi. All of the other pancakes were excellent and the service was flawless. What a cute place with great food and service! I'll definitely be back!

We had their Columbian air roasted coffee, which was so creamy and light. They have a never ending selection of tea. Their home made bagel is better than most. The hash browns are crispy, a little on the greasy side but exploding with flavor! Oatmeal was very good with freshly diced apples to order. Our waitress Monica was beyond welcoming and knowledgeable. She made us feel at home. The low dinning table with low seated sofas made us feel very cozy. It's not very often you can cuddle up and enjoy a meal as if you were at home. The Eastern European food and ambience is as authentic as it gets. All I can say is... I'll be back

You will not be disappointed. I am looking forward to our next visit.

Before our appetizers came out, we were brought these tasty cheddar croissants with honey butter. That there set the tone for the rest of the meal. French onion soup was spot on. Perfect temperature that was not overly hot where a moment on the table is all it needed. Grandparents had single party burgers. They looked delicious and medium rare as they should be. My pork chop was not over cooked and has a great bite to it. Was a display for sure with all the garnishes on too. The side dish that came with it was yummy. Don't remember what was in it but I ate most of it before even touching the pork chop. No dessert for once. We were all stuffed! Much better experience than my first one.

But I'll tell you, their home-fries are some of the WORST I've ever had, at any breakfast restaurant. If you like soggy, mushy potatoes, with zero crispy edges and a bunch paprika thrown on the top, then this is your place. They've got a fairly large menu and a lot to choose from, but I've just never been wow-ed by anything I've gotten there. It's also noisy and cash only. It's in a well traveled location and has lots of seating. Perhaps that's really the reason it's "popular". Parking sucks. All the service staff is pretty nice. There's definitely plenty of better breakfast places around.
