They advertise an egg muffin & coffee for 5.99 which we had last week.Today I returned again with my wife & this time the server justifies charging $8.00 each for the same duo. I won't be returning with this inconsistency. Besides, the muffin is so tiny . Not impressed.This kid has attitude & runs the place like he owns it. Stay away!!!!!!!

This writer thrives on the three things reviewed. My egg & sausage muffin was delicious & it was my second visit. There is a 6$ special right now, 12 Oz. Coffee, egg, sausage/or ham/ or bacon, & a great seat. Spent 4 hours here last visit, met a great future reader of my books.

Surprisingly good coffee & muffins. Normally, you do not expect it from a franchise shop, but this place is a pleasant surprise. Also, very comfy & chill atmosphere for a conversation & some work.
