    3/4 of a fresh Biscuit w/ homemade jam
    Hugh M.

    I had heard some good things about this place for breakfast (which by the way is one of my favorite meals) so we went there today to try it. This place did not disappoint- the staff was friendly and attentive. They have a nice selection of options. I ordered off the 55+ menu (a few less options but still several choices). We both ordered the Denver Omelette with Country Potatoes (which are thin sliced potatoes but very tasty). My wife had this served with their freshly made Biscuit served with butter and homemade jam (or gravy if you prefer). I tried a bite of her biscuit very good and fluffy. I had a pancake with mine. I included some pictures but I forgot to take the pictures when the meal was served, so the shot of my breakfast and biscuit are partially eaten.

    Food and service was great ordered the Chile Verde omelette was seated fast and the coffee was nice and hot

    Country Kitchen (just like my Nanas house on the ranch). This small place, in Ripon, is a neighborhood classic. Staff is always friendly and food is always fresh and hot (nice! Very, very nice). Today (as always) my fiancé and I had the Chile Verde Omelette with a side of eggs (for me). Come out. Fell like you just came over for breakfast or brunch and enjoy a quaint conversation with a good hearty meal. Tell them ,"that guy" sent you.

    Chili Cheese with bacon over hash browns, seriously delicious stoner food!

    Wasn't expecting much, especially with the dated garden look that was more tacky than cutesy. Went to breakfast on a Tuesday morning and the place was nearly filled with seniors. They have an under 10 or over 55 menu, the babes got the veggie soup and the grandparents got the classic breakfast. Veggie soup was homemade with lots of veggies in a thick red tomato soup. Pancakes were thick and fluffy. Last minute I switched from Eggs Benedict to the special with hash browns covered with chopped bacon, onions, homemade chili and cheese. It was soooo tasty and naughty. Chili is some of the best I've had. Told the server that I wished they would offer it Cincinnati style with spaghetti noodles instead of your choice of hash browns or tatter tots. For $10 it was a steal if a deal! Service was quick, friendly with several offers to top off our coffee.

    I had brunch with my family here as we were visiting my aunt, and like the other restaurants, it's very cute and quaint. The waitresses were very nice and attended to our needs. The food is very filling and delicious. I had the California omelette with hash browns and toast, and my gosh, it was FILLING. This is a good spot for catching up and getting a nice simple breakfast/lunch. Only complaint I have is how some of the furniture is outdated, but aside from that, I love the quaint comfort of this place.

    I've eaten here more than anywhere in Ripon because I don't like our restaurants in town but this place is so good and Anna is our favorite server she does such a great job I tried most of the breakfast menu and it's all good but I really like the farmers omelette and loco moco

    Pecan Waffles for the win!

It's a simple little spot nothing fancy inside but cute vintage vibes like the name lol Jasmine tea 5/5 my friend really enjoyed it Iced brown sugar latte 3/5 it was ok I did have to ask for a little more syrup and milk as it just tasted like bitter espresso. Bagel with ham egg and cheese 5/5 Bagel was fresh and perfectly toasted the eggs were seasoned well and everything else was good we split this and the bowl Açaí bowl was actually very tasty my only problem and reason for not giving 5 stars all around is that I have a nut allergy and specifically asked the girl if the bowl had any nuts in or on it she said no so I said there's no peanut butter or nuts in the granola? And again was told no. The granola does in fact have almond slivers in it luckily I am not so allergic I will die from it or need an epi pen I just usually break out in hives for a few hours and then I'm fine and typically it's more peanuts than other nuts anyway but working in a restaurant you really should be aware of what is in your foods that way someone doesn't have a bad reaction.

Crispy bacon, perfectly ripe avocado and tomato, and turkey hit the spot on a flaky croissant. I also liked the small side of potato salad. My friend also loved her breakfast sandwich and coffee.

We've been wanting to visit Austin's Coffee for a while but they're closed on Sundays and after 4(?). We finally got a chance but it was a big let down I ordered the baristas recommendation for the day which was ok but nothing I'd return for/reorder and my wife ordered a carmel macchiato both drinks were a medium. What a joke!!!! The "mediums" are basically smalls either 6oz or 8oz. My wife's "medium" was literally a shot, check out the pictures. Needless to say we will not be coming back @Sarah D- Thanks for the offer and reaching out, but your offer of complementary coffee will not persuade me to update my review. Furthermore when my wife brought this issue up to one of the baristas she gave some excuse (I didn't hear what she said) about this is how they are. This is a sunk cost for me and an object lesson for others. I can't help but think how many of the other 5 star reviews were in a similar situation and updated their review as they were offered free coffee.

Unfortunately, there were a few drawbacks. There were quite a few flies, and at times there was an unpleasant odor that resembled strong cheese and animal waste, which took away from the overall dining experience. The food was decent but not particularly memorable. The chicken and waffles looked great, and the fried chicken was very large with a flavorful, crispy batter. However, the chicken itself had an unusual flavor that wasn't my favorite. The waffle seemed as though it had been sitting for a while before being served--it was cold, somewhat squishy, and lacked the fresh texture I was expecting. We also ordered a waffle and bacon for the kids, but the whipped cream that was supposed to accompany it was forgotten. Service was another area that fell short of expectations. Guests are required to walk up and place their own orders, then wait for the food to be brought out. For a restaurant that presents itself as a more upscale dining experience, I was expecting traditional table service. Overall, it was still a pleasant experience, and I'm glad I gave it a try. While there were aspects that didn't meet my expectations, the beautiful outdoor setting made for an enjoyable visit. That said, I probably wouldn't return, but I'm happy I had the opportunity to experience it.

My favorite is the chorizo omelette with a side of strawberries. The omelette is flavorful without being greasy, and the strawberries are always fresh and delicious. The toast is decent, though I think trying a different bread brand could make it even better. The servers are consistently friendly and attentive. Orders come out quickly, and coffee refills are always topped off without having to ask. Overall, Frank's is a great spot for breakfast and definitely worth checking out.

I ordered a plate of crispy hashbrowns topped with tender pulled pork, smothered in rich, creamy gravy, and sprinkled with fresh jalapeños for a perfect kick. It was comforting without being heavy, like a warm hug you didn't know you needed. But the best part? They had fun flavored mimosas that made brunch feel like a celebration. We tried a few different flavors, and each one was bright, refreshing, and paired perfectly with the savory food. (Rachel Green would approve.) The staff was friendly, kept the coffee refills coming, and made us feel welcome without hovering. The prices were fair, and the portions were generous enough to leave you full but not overly stuffed. If you're looking for a cozy spot with great food, good vibes, and a reason to say "How you doin'?" to your mimosa, this is it. Can't wait to come back and bring friends for a brunch round two.

That said, we're still willing to give it another try in the future to see if the experience improves, because the food alone makes it worth another visit.

Her customer service skills were absolutely superior from start to finish. Handling a group that size is not easy, but she moved effortlessly the entire night and never once seemed overwhelmed.

She went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of, drinks stayed full, orders were right, and the atmosphere stayed fun and relaxed. You can tell she genuinely cares about her customers and takes pride in what she does. This was my third or fourth visit here, and all of the waitresses have always been awesome, but this was my first experience with Katie--and in my opinion, she is the gold standard of customer service.
