The staff is friendly and the Portions are large and inexpensive with the a 4 item omelet with potatoes and toast costing $10. The only minor drawbacks are cash only with no atm and only bottled/canned drinks rather than fountain but other than that with proper preparation it's a very good place.

Waited at the register a rather long time while the person tending it chatted with another customer she evidently knew before I could pay. It is a pleasant place and they are welcoming, but most people would probably like a wait person so they can get their eggs and sides done the way they prefer them.

Struggled with rating and review and want to try again during the week or on Saturday rather than on a Sunday. We placed our order and most of our party ordered sandwiches rather than a breakfast entree only to find out 40 minutes after our order was taken the chef was no longer going to offer lunch on Sundays. This should have been indicated by wait staff at a minimum and not 40 minutes after our order was taken. Menu that was given did not indicate that breakfast was only option on a Sunday. Additionally, they were out of several of the breakfast items so now our choices were limited. Had we known sooner we could have left and gone to several other restaurants for lunch. To top it off they ran out of creamer and we were given a carton from kitchen of half and half only to have wait staff grab container. Additionally, silverware that was wrapped in napkin was dirty and there was an added secret ingredient of a long strand of dark hair on syrup dispenser mind you none of us have long dark hair. I ordered an omelette which was OK and nothing special with home fries that had so much pepper I could not eat it. The toast was good but did not go there for bread. Just very disappointed after all the glowing comments on facebook

My weekend plans got rained out, so I found myself soggy and hungry early in the morning. Before I even turned into the gravel lot, I could see the sunny yellow walls adorned with sunflowers and clippings from nearby events. The staff was very kind and accommodating, providing me with not only a hot, hearty breakfast burrito but also tips and activities to do nearby. The most memorable thing for me was the side salad, which had a delicious apple cider vinegar Dijon dressing that my waitress was more than happy to share the recipe for. At this cafe there is a wonderful assortment of cheeses from across the state, as well as a variety of IPAs for those interested. I'd like to note that the menu is very accommodating for those with dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten free, etc) and the kitchen is open to substitutions when possible :) 10/10 would come again, rain or shine

Our orders were taken promptly and we specified for split checks between the families. The diner was busy and it took 40 minutes from ordering to receiving our breakfast meals. The food was cooked well, eggs were a touch on the cold side but everyone really enjoyed their meals. Waitress was all over the place and seemed to be waiting on half the tables so the service was a bit lacking there. Place was clean, bathrooms spotless. My only gripe is that both parties were hit with the automatic 18% gratuity for parties over 7+ which I felt a bit unfair given we asked for split checks. Ps, no waffles but they have plate sized pancakes.

They indicated they made that bread many years ago and were up for making it again for us. We got a couple of loaves on that visit and the sandwiches were a hit.

The family owned and operated business adds to the charm. They are warm and friendly and it was so nice to met them and try some of their baked goods. Cash is king here but they do have an ATM onsite if needed. Looking forward to going back again soon.
