The place was buzzing -- vaulted ceilings plus a full house of caffeine-fueled chatter meant I got surround sound with my omelette. The sausage and cheese omelette was solid. The hashbrowns? Let's just say they were more "supporting actor" than "star of the show." And the toast... well, it came out as a slice. Singular. Like they were rationing carbs for the apocalypse. The coffee was great, though -- it's basically DIY, but I'll take any place that trusts me enough to handle the pot. All in all, a good stop if you want a quick bite, a strong cup of coffee, and the chance to test your hearing against acoustics that rival a cathedral.

First of all the staff is so kind and very helpful. They had gluten free options and can even accommodate if you have Celiac which is hard to find. When I placed my order they said the source locally as much as possible and their salad are cut from the root which is fantastic. I had the Basil Mayo BLT with gluten free bread and it was amazing! The bacon was cooked to perfection and if I go back I will for sure get it again. As our group ate we were checked on multiple times to make sure everything was ok. Highly recommend this place and will definitely be going again next time we are in town.

I had a chicken salad sandwich on a croissant. It was refreshing after riding 30 miles to Danville, Ohio. They do not serve alcohol and it's a bit "Jesusee" for me.

The decor is absolutely lovely, especially the chandeliers and wall coverings. The tables had white linens and the booths were very comfortable, elegant and not old looking. The hostess who seated us had worked there for 21 years. She was very professional and proud of the restaurant. Our server, Terrence, was very pleasant and efficient and made us feel welcome. I ordered the lamb burger and fries. The burger was moist and delicious, the fries yummy. Everyone at our table enjoyed their lunch. Someone who I assume was the manager, stopped by to see how we were enjoying our meal. We all enjoyed the experience and are looking for reasons to drive back to Mt Vernon to visit the Alcove. What a find!

Not stellar, but usually a good rotating variety of healthy meals; from my personal experience, they try to be super cognizant of dietary restrictions, so there's something for everyone. Highly recommend Grilled Cheese Monday (Texas toast, bright orange cheese slices and all) and the sweet potato fries. They have a surprising variety of aiolis that are delish. Good dessert section, too--the pumpkin bread and molasses cookies are must-tries. Can't speak to the goat tacos, but I've heard they're hyper-local (born and assassinated on Kenyon's very own farm). Piercegiving and Midnight Breakfast are most definitely the highlight of every Kenyon student's experience. The icecream tower (housed in a literal kiddie pool) most likely was vetoed post-Covid, but by god, it was excellent. The staff are super kind to students and work incredibly hard to keep Pierce running. They keep ingredients fresh and local--love that!!
