Wait time was an hour so be warned, it is popular. I'm on my own quest for the best eggs Benedict and needed to try this one. It was very good but the true star for me was the potato hash! It was rolled up, had a perfect outside crust and inside was soft. This might not be for everyone as my husband thought it seemed under done but I thought it was perfect! He had his own 10/10 breakfast anyway with the biscuits and gravy with home fries.

They have two restrooms, the one I went into was very clean. The service was really fast and so friendly! I tried the candied cardamom latte iced - it's seasonal and I loved it! The cups are really interesting! I also tried the mango passion fruit sphere which was so yummy! And gluten free! They give you a little buzzer that goes off once your order is ready and when you pick it up there's a little bucket for the buzzer. There is also plenty of fun knick knacks and items for purchase. They also have an area that you can pay to rent out to study. It's enclosed and only those who have paid for time can be inside. Really great idea!

After years of decline, the Kyburz Lodge has been reborn under new ownership, and it's a game-changer for anyone visiting the area. As we have a cabin nearby, we've had the pleasure of watching the lodge's transformation firsthand, and we're thrilled to see it thriving once again. The cozy atmosphere, complete with rustic wooden decor and plush seating, immediately made us feel welcome. But it was the exceptional service that truly impressed us. From the friendly barista who offered us a warm smile and a refill on our coffee, to the owner who came out to chat with us and make sure we had everything we needed, it was clear that customer service is the top priority. The coffee and tea are truly amazing, with a variety of options to suit every taste. We particularly enjoyed the rich, bold flavor of their signature coffee blend, made with high-quality beans roasted locally. And with a selection of herbal and caffeinated teas, there's something for everyone. Overall, the Kyburz Lodge is a must-stop destination for anyone in the area. With its warm atmosphere, exceptional service, and delicious coffee and tea, it's the perfect place to refuel and recharge. I highly recommend stopping by and experiencing it for yourself! read more

The owner should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for allowing the scum of the earth to work here. We stopped by for a snack and we were guided out back by a polite hostess while our food was being warmed. Without the presence of "no smoking" signs and being far enough away from the rest of the patrons, one of us lit a cigarette while time passed. The female hostess brought us our food and very politely informed us we should not smoke in the back but that we were welcome to smoke in the front where the ashtray were. She quickly escorted us through the building and led us to the front where the cigarette was finished. Shortly after, a wanna be macho dick head came to us, swearing and PHYSICALLY THREATENING us for smoking indoors. We apologize for unknowingly smoking in a non designated area, but this needle dick continues to throw insults, interrupt us and threatened violence. If your hungry or thirsty, starve to death before going here. I'll be amazed if this place is open much longer with such a disgrace human being existing here. read more

They also carry local donuts, which were absolutely worth trying. We had the apple fritter, which was soft and delicious with the perfect crispy exterior. Our favorite was the almond bar--it was delicate, flaky, buttery, and so good. We also tried a cookie that was equally delicious. For lunch, we ordered the turkey sandwich, which was piled high with turkey and crisp vegetables, the bourbon bacon jam toast with melted brie, and a classic BLT. We kept it simple with water, which is available as self-serve. It was a beautiful day to enjoy the outdoor space. They have cornhole and bocce available to play around the property, adding to the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was incredibly kind, and they also have a small market area featuring drinks, local products, and other items for sale. The entire place is quaint and adorable, both inside and out.
