I was surprised by how big the avocado toast was- one slice of toast under avocado spread with a fried egg on top plus cut fruit on the side - all in the box! So good. The servers were friendly, knowledgeable & fast. The restaurant can get loud depending on the customers, but we were able to have a normal conversation without being bothered. Such a friendly atmosphere with regulars greeted with hugs and jokes. 2-hour parking -free- on the street out front.

I ended up with the Sweather Weather, which personally needed a bit more flavor. The staff member who served me was very nice and provided detailed information about their seasonal menu.

The cafe also seemed to be really into stranger things as they have an entire drink menu inspired by it! I really liked the decor, and the service was good too. The employee seemed a bit nervous but ultimately got our order efficiently. People seem to come here often, so it's a very welcoming place over all.

Everyone Deserves a second Chance…read more I visited PSB on my lunch because they have a Plant based Gyro and that in itself is very difficult to find. They were steady for lunch but not nearly as busy as I expected at 1230 on a Friday. I sat at the bar, and the bartender was very nice. She was very polite and attentive. I ordered the one thing I came for (obviously), and was surprised by how quickly It was ready. Something I appreciated as I was on lunch at work, so I had limited time to begin with. The Gyro was delicious! I got their pickled onions on the side as I wasn't sure how strong they'd be. They were actually very good and an excellent compliment to the gyro itself. The Gyro was served with Potato Wedges. These I could have done without, they differed in size so the cook was drastically different depending on which one you got. The small ones were almost over done and the large ones weren't cooked enough. The Sandwich was definitely the highlight of my meal. This place is so cool, Such a beautiful building with amazing outdoor seating. My other complaint is the price. $20+ for a sandwich (after tax) is outrageous. I am very happy to have tried it, It was delicious. I most likely won't go back for that sandwich though. Too many options around at a fraction of the price. This place definitely deserves to be tried by everyone. They are one of the best spots in all of Rockford.

She came to our table to lecture us on why we had said we were getting a sandwich then changed our minds.
