Would have wished for a larger branch out in decor and style. Touches present in only select places. Food & Wait (Breakfast Quesadillas with side of cook potatoes) - presentation good, potatoes are slight mash but well cooked, a bit too salty but still palatable. Salsa is a low end mild, has cilantro so sad for me (soap gene) but over all not entirely flavorful, mostly spice and tomato. Avocado slices not overly ripe, good points. Quesadillas are the star of the dish, good balance of crunch in the tortillas with salt and savory in the bacon eggs and peppers. Cheese is not in your face as it's a lighter cheddar. Wait was negligible, a very quick dish to make for full kitchen. Pricing - $$ RATING - 4/5

We're traveling the country as healthcare workers, and one of our favorite things to do while…read moreliving in a new area is finding the local spots everyone loves. We'd heard great things about Rosie's, so we were excited to finally give it a try. Unfortunately, our experience just didn't live up to the hype. Our food came out less than five minutes after ordering, which in a packed restaurant immediately made us wonder how fresh it really was. After tasting it, it was pretty clear much of it had been prepared well beforehand. I even asked for my potatoes to be crispy, and the response was simply, "We can't do that," which was surprising for such a popular breakfast spot. On top of that, almost everything lacked seasoning and fell pretty flat flavor wise. We barely touched our meals and didn't even want to take the leftovers home, which is rare for us. To be fair, this is just our personal experience, and it's obvious a lot of people genuinely enjoy Rosie's. We're not trying to be overly critical over one visit. But based on the meal and service we received, it's not a place we'd personally recommend.

Situated in an older house, parking is limited and this seems to be a go-to spot on the weekends. They also have a variety of coffee - I had plans to try another spot but I want to go back! Especially for their cinnamon rolls. Those looked mouth watering. My bread is so good - I have been eating on it all week and it's delicious toasted for breakfast.

The owner was our server. The experience was emotional that resulted in giving a her hug. Who does that?!? Yes, us! I can't even pronounce the dishes we tried and ended up speechless. The balance of taste and goodness was outspoken! We started with the poached egg dish and basically licked the plate clean when nobody was looking. You could tell it was homemade as you tasted each ingredient that hugged your tastebuds with the time and passion it took to develop this dish. I had a chicken dish and he had the fried ball dish. Owner was responsive to allergies to keep us safe. Glad we ordered a bottle from the carefully selected wine list to partake from as we took this culinary journey. The ambience was terrific. It was small, but not cramped. We arrived after the dinner rush. The owner could have rushed us but actually appeared to enjoy having us there! It was closing time so we ordered dessert as a carry out because we were so full, but didn't want to miss out on dessert. The baklava piece could have been bigger, which is my only comment for improvement. I can't wait to be in the area again to try more. I hope the restaurant continues to be successful. I don't have any pictures to share because we were in the moment and had a delightful time! Thanks for sharing a piece of your passion and love of your culture and family. Yazsh!

Street parking which is fine as there are some spots for parking in front, along the main road or plenty of side street options. Started with an iced nut n' honey. It was good - not bad/not great. Didn't really have much flavor, might be better tried hot. Got the Hash braised meatballs and sauteed leek over hand cut chopped fries - chose my egg to be scrambled. It was PACKED with flavor. I also added hot sauce on the side which is their homemade sauce. 50 cent charge. The waiter warned us it was spicy, but I didn't think so. It was good flavor though and while the dish didn't need anything else, I love hot sauce with eggs so I thought it was a nice addition. For dessert I had to get the Baklava. It's a little different than noted on the menu as the waiter said they were trying it with sauce and a type of yogurt on top. I forget all the details, but boy was I glad I listened to our waiter and got it. It was AMAZING! I could have eaten a dozen of them! It was just a bit hard to cut, but it was so good. This is a nice little place and I can't wait to come back and try dinner!! It's small inside but it's clean and set up nicely with enough tables and counter top seating if you choose. I think this might be 21+ as we were asked if we were both over 21 when we came in and then I heard him ask the gentleman that came in after us. So keep that in mind if coming and thinking about bringing kids.

It's been about a year or so since Borage first opened and I finally got around to trying it out…read more First off, I love the vibes in here. It's giving cute, cozy, sunny brunch vibes. My boyfriend and I came on Mother's day (unintentionally) and we waited about 10-15 minutes to sit at the bar. Getting our orders taken & our food served definitely took a bit of time, but we enjoyed seeing all the cooks in action and getting to smell all the amazing smells!! I got Grandpa's one pan skillet and my boyfriend got the sausage breakfast sandwich on croissant bread. All I gotta say is those chefs definitely knew what they were doing! The flavors were unique and intentional and I enjoyed every bite. The home fries (potatoes) were also so yummy and everything was cooked really well. There's nothing basic about borage and I love that! This place is a gem. They also have a cafe/market area where you can order drinks and pastries. I wish we waited until we got seated to order drinks because the menu was much more extensive than what I saw in the cafe and I would have ordered a different drink had I seen all the other options. The staff here are also very welcoming and friendly. We enjoyed our little brunch and will be back with family next time!

The moment I walked in the doors of Fire & Ice I knew Yelp did me good! The space is bright with a modern farmhouse feel to it. There's a fireplace, lounge seating, tables and chairs, and even a bar area (that's where I decided to sit). The ladies behind the counter were nice and gave me some recommendations. I went with their banana bread latte with oat milk and one of their biscuit sandwiches with egg and American cheese. Both were absolutely delicious and I would order again. I'll add that the restroom was clean, but the wifi wasn't that great. I ended up using my hotspot while I was there. This place is also women-owned and totally gluten free. Seriously, I had no idea until a friend told me a few days later. They're clearly a lot of things right!

There are a variety of tables, also some comfy corner chairs. You order at the counter then they'll bring food to you. We all got (plain) coffee. There's a small sugar station on the end of the counter, but you have to ask for cream. I also told a staff member none of us had been there before, and asked were there coffee refills (since the rest was specialty coffee drinks) or do we pay? She said we can have one refill if we come up. My friends got gluten free egg/biscuit sandwiches. The hubs got a crepe with strawberries, bananas and more in it. I ordered the Galette Bretonne - which is described as "a savory light Buckwheat crepe with City ham, Gruyere cheese, with sunny side up egg" and also comes with a side salad. Our food came fairly quickly. The crepe was visually pretty. The biscuit sandwiches looked like they had nice fluffy biscuits (and, gluten free!) - but they were on the small side (smaller than an egg mcmuffin). My galette looked nice but not like the photo (see pics of mine & one from their web) - and the egg inside was well done, definitely not sunny side up or even medium. I don't mind harder cooked eggs, but the whole effect was very dry, so I went to the counter to ask for some syrup. The server told me that he would have to charge me for it. I said fine, yes please, because my dish is so dry it's unedible without it. So he went back in the kitchen and did bring me out a small side dish of syrup (see also pic of that, for size). I had my credit card ready, but he said "this one's on me." I thanked him and sat down to eat. ... and yes, that syrup was just the trick to make the dish delicious! So this is the thing that makes a whole experience "meh" as opposed to "really nice": Between me & my hubs, our food and plain coffees were $42. (My friends paid separately for theirs.) For that price and just counter service, if a guest asks for a small side of syrup for the food, there should not be a side charge. I think the server who gave it to me realized that (but I would have paid it anyway because the meal was just too dry without it) ... But here's the thing - there was another staff member at the counter when my server gave me that little side of syrup. She heard him say "no charge this time," and her expression absolutely changed, and she looked mad that he did not charge me, and like she was about to say something (but didn't). Guess what? I absolutely saw that. And I totally feel like she was not only mad, but also that he might get reprimanded for it. (Might I add, we were also there when it was NOT busy at all, so there was nothing about the atmosphere that was rushed or hectic - although that souldn't matter, either.) And yes, of course when I went back to the table, I relayed that story to my other 3 companions. A little (little!) customer service goes a long way. And also is easily a deciding factor of whether or not a place gets a revisit. There are so many other places to try. #ReviewsByRL

I was looking for a local, non-chain breakfast spot, and this place absolutely hit the spot!…read more As soon as I was escorted to my table, I was immediately distracted by the bakery case filled with fresh-baked desserts. They had everything from cookies and pies to cakes, and I especially loved that they offered so many single-serving dessert options. I ordered the two-egg breakfast and asked for my eggs to be scrambled with cheese. My plate arrived with delicious honey oat toast and what were, without a doubt, the best breakfast potatoes I've ever had. The texture was perfect! I had forgotten to ask for them crispy, but there was no need--they were lightly crisp on the outside, soft and fluffy on the inside, and seasoned just right. The eggs were also cooked perfectly. I really appreciate when the cheese is folded throughout the eggs instead of just being sprinkled on top as an afterthought. It's a small detail that makes a big difference. I'm going to be honest--the table next to me ordered the biscuits and gravy, and I could see the huge chunks of sausage from my seat! It looked so good that I had to order an additional side of biscuits and gravy to go, along with a sausage patty. I can't wait to dig into it later. I'll definitely be back. My only regret is that I didn't bring anyone with me! The portions are generous, and this is the kind of place where it's fun to share a few dishes so everyone can sample something different. If you're looking for a locally owned breakfast spot with great food, generous portions, and an incredible bakery, Bread and Breakfast Cafe & Bakery is absolutely worth a visit.

We split a bowl of soup and they kindly served it in separate bowls for us, which I appreciated. The soup of the day was corn chowder and wow, I was surprised how good it was, I do love soups. I'd never tried corn chowder before, but it was creamy, flavorful, and comforting. I ordered the half salad/half sandwich combo. The smoked salmon niçoise salad had a blend of interesting flavors and the dressing paired perfectly with it. For the sandwich, I chose the BLTEA, and unfortunately this was the disappointing part of the meal. The avocado on it was clearly overripe/bad, so dark, mushy, and it gave the sandwich an unpleasant taste. I removed as much as I could, but it still affected the flavor. It was a bummer because this spot usually tastes very fresh. I've had it before and the avocado was fresh, along with the orchard salad which I loved. I would say the orchard salad is my fave. They make their dressings homemade and the dressing for the orchard salad was delicious. The service was still very friendly, and since they were slammed busy, I didn't feel like making a fuss about it. Everything else we had was enjoyable. The inside is small and quaint since it's a house turned restaurant, so it has a cozy but lively ambiance when crowded. One of the best perks here is definitely the made from scratch desserts. I love checking out the dessert case because the staff will happily explain each option and answer questions. There's something oddly satisfying about watching them slice the desserts too. I took a lemon cheesecake to go and absolutely loved it. I've also tried the blackberry wine cake which is a staple and delicious. A seasonal dessert that was really good was the pumpkin pie. You really can't go wrong with home made desserts here.
