We ate here Saturday morning & the food was delicious. The churro bites were a fun & crispy addition. Eggs were cooked perfectly, & the seasoning on the home fries was really good (they taste exactly like OEB's wedges if you've been there). The apple sauce tastes like it was made in-house, it was warm & a little more tart than you would find in a grocery store which is right up my alley. The place was packed so it took a little bit for our food to arrive but it was hot & fresh. Would definitely return.

The coffee is watered down. The Americano did not taste fresh. It took 30 minutes to get 2 Americanos. Once we got the Americano arrived it was cold. Get a smoothie instead of coffee because you will be disappointed.

What an incredible place to eat. Amazing food (you will not leave hungry). Everything is so fresh from the fruit with your breakfast to the fresh squeezed orange juice. The staff are friendly, helpfully & provide a great atmosphere. Came in for breakfast twice during our weekend trip & will come again when next in town. Brilliant
