    Great brunch area! Inside and outside seating available. Service was great and food delicious! Definitely coming back again! If you're in the Langtree area stop by!

    Greek omelette and cheese grits
    Amy K.

    Very quant little breakfast spot at the bottom of an apartment complex. Parking can be a little difficult due to the location. I really enjoyed the Greek omelette which was packed with olives (YUM!!!!). I had a mimosa as well that was well made. Nice place to grab a bite.

    guys if u have never been here you must go. their food is so amazing and the drinks from the cafe are just perfect. even the fruit and water are so good. but the best part is the bathroom!!! they had hairbrushes and makeup and it smelled good and a full body mirror it was perfect. our lady was also very nice and my heart was happy after this meal

    This is a nice coffee shop right next to a full restaurant. The coffee is great and offers a limited option of baked products. The ambience has a lot of natural ligh and common areas are clean. Staff is super helpful and friendly. 100% recommended.

    Shrimp and grits eggs Benedict
    John C.

    Stopped here for brunch on a Sunday while traveling back home from Charlotte. As expected, there was a bit of a wait but we were fine hanging out. When we were called to be sat, our group and two other groups were all taken in. We were the first in line to be sat but the other groups were sat before us. Then, when it was our turn, a table wasn't ready so we had to wait a while longer. Not a major issue, but irksome. I ordered the Shrimp and Grits Eggs Benedict. It was clear that it had been sitting under a heat lamp because the hollandaise was dried on the plate and the eggs were totally overcooked. No runny inside to help with the dried-out grits cake. The iced chai latte I got from the little attached coffee stand was good. I think the other folks in my party liked what they got. Overall, I was just pretty disappointed in the experience.

    Traditional Breakfast
    Marica M.

    We stayed at a hotel across the street and saw that this place was walking distance for us. We first came in on Friday morning and liked it so much that we came back the next morning to eat again! The first morning, I got the corned beef hash. It was pretty good and the portion was big! My husband got the eggs Benedict. The next day, he got the traditional breakfast which was huge! I got the croque monsieur. I loved the flavor of my meal but it was very heavy. On Friday morning, there was no wait and we were able to walk right in. On Saturday morning, they were very busy and we had to wait maybe 20 mins to be seated. The coffee was good and we had great service both days.

    Amazing Raspberry Mocha Latte, great variety of different coffee drinks.
    Christin N.

    I sat at the bar area and had a Raspberry Mocha Latte which was FABULOUS! I had the corn beef and eggs and it was also good. It was had shredded potatoes with small diced onions and peppers with the corn beef. My only suggestion is ask for it extra crispy as the potatoes were very white along with no crustiness on the corn beef. I had they rye toast which was AMAZING! They definitely must get it from a local bakery as it was thick cut and very fresh and delicious! Service was very quick as I did go on a Tuesday around 11am so they weren't that busy.

    Classic breakfast and a chai tea latte with vanilla from the small cupcake & latte shop inside
    Faith M.

    Always great service. Food is really good and the cupcake shop inside is really nice as well.

    Build your own omelet
    Tiffany K.

    Came to eat here one morning because it is close to my mother's house and I have been plenty of times before. Our server was pretty rude. She barely smiles and talked with an attitude, maybe another table put her in a bad mood but it reflected very strong toward us. I always order the build your own omelet with the same ingredients, spinach, bacon, onion and green pepper but this time it was overwhelmingly disappointing. I think there were a couple of pieces of bacon, barely any spinach and tasted like scrambled eggs with a pinch of the ingredients. My previous visits they put enough ingredients in that you can taste them from edge to edge of the omelet (very good and healthy amount). I'm not sure if they are saving money or just ran out of ingredients from that morning but I wished there was more. Fruit was wonderful and fresh! I'll be back hoping there's more ingredients in the omelet next time!

    Doughnut holes
    Taylor A.

    Started off with doughnut holes- pretty good and they serve six pretty big ones. They come with a vanilla sauce you can dip it into. I kinda wish it was warmed up though bc dipping the hot doughnut in the cold glaze didn't complement it very well. The food was okay - the pancakes were a bit chewy. And the hash browns were super bland- I had to pour a lot of salt on. I liked their eggs though. Cool place and really nice service though.

    Southern Benedict
    Malinda S.

    Open for brunch, decent choices on the menu. Crowded and loud, great coffee and tea selection. The Bourbon Chicken and Waffles was average due to the chicken being too crisp and dry. Probably would get different meals next visit. They do take online reservations but not for Sunday.

    Menu
    Mathew M.

    Friendly servers, clean and bright dining area, well decorated, nice breakfast selection. Good tasting coffee and real cream folks. That was a nice surprise! I had the meat lovers omelette with fresh fruit, which was fresh by the way! Ashlee did a great job of serving us along with others. What's not to like folks? Give it a try!

    Pj M.

    Ticked back as part of a new development this place is warm and friendly. Lots of indoor seating as well as outdoor seating. Coffee is served with FRESH cream....really. I was very impressed. The classic breakfast was great. 2 eggs, 3 slices of bacon, hash browns extra crispy (but only on one side), 2 slices of toast (Apple Butter yeh haven't had that in years) Ashlee our sever was very efficient, upbeat and friendly. A table beside us had the chicken and waffles as well as the buffalo chicken sandwich and they looked amazing. Wish we lived closer to Mooresville, we would be regulars.

We ordered spinach artichoke dip and chicken tenders for the kids. We were pleasantly surprised with the portion sizes. The appetizer was good, but nothing amazing. The chicken tenders were big and flavorful. Yet, the fries definitely stole the show. I'm not a fan of shoestring fries, but they were seasoned so well that I didn't mind. While our appetizer and kids' meals came out quickly, our entrees were a little slow to arrive. I ordered the salmon and fries, since I could steal any more from the kiddos. The salmon was a decent portion and seasoned nicely. However, it was slightly over cooked. Overall, the experience was good.

We ended up ordering 2 fountain drinks, the spinach crab fondue, the seared scallop appetizer, farmers cobb salad, a caprese avocado panini with onion straws and a side of fries, french onion soup, and the espresso creme brulee. First and foremost, the food came out insanely fast. The seared scallops with creamed corn and pesto was fresh and delightful with a great sear. I do wish they were a bit bigger for the price, but it was a nice starter. The spinach crab fondue was so nice and hot when it came out that it was still bubbling. Strong crab flavor, a good portion size and plenty of fresh chips. The farmers Cobb salad had lots of seasoned fried chicken in it, the greens were fresh and the blue cheese dressing was nice and creamy. It even came with a fresh dinner roll. We advised the server we were going to split the panini and she was nice enough to plate them separately putting the onion straws on one and fries on the other. It wasn't so much a panini as it was just a ciabatta sandwich. The bottom bun was soggy as was the bacon but it was still very cheesy and tasty. The fries were hot and fresh and the onion straws weren't greasy and had a nice crunch. The French onion soup was hot and cheesy and was a nice portion. Could have had a bit more onion, but it hit the spot for the price. The espresso creme brulee was very very delicious. Not too sweet, had a great texture and came with a fresh strawberry, however the top could've been a bit hotter. A great way to end the meal. Overall, the meal was $99, which I think is very reasonable. Food came out quickly, tasted hot and fresh and thats exactly what you'd want on a cold day. Will definitely be back to try other menu options.
