The food is great. Simple but cooked really well. The waitress we had was good at her job (sounds trite, but a lot of people suck at the basics)- periodic check in for coffee & water, pleasantries, not a long wait to order/get food/get bill. Here is why not 5 stars: 1) only option to pay is cash. Really? A square can be added to a phone. For the prices we paid, wasn't any cheaper than other places that serve breakfast. So what, the owners can't offer even interac? I sadly won't return, in 2024, no place should be cash only & push their high margin ATM in the basement as an alternative. 2) while a bit of a misunderstanding, the waitress asked if we wanted apancake to share as dessert. I understood it as a comped freebie to try to upsell us on coming back, since we had said it was our first time. What came out was a full on dish added to our bill as more expensive than any dish we'd ordered. I didn't complain, because it was a nebulous situation, but it was way too slick a play by them & left me annoyed. Sufficed to say while the food & service was quality, the final interactions mean unfortunately I have 0 intentions of ever going back.
A Place of Yummy. Coffee offered first & then a menu. Chose Chicken Sandy, a perfectly designed burger. Flavours exquisite for a burger. More coffee, which was North American ok. Pleasant staff & relaxed clientele. Cash only, by the way.

Filter coffee was good, but not included. I had the full breakfast. Scrambled eggs were nice & fluffy. For the price I was expecting a notch above the competition, but it was just average. Cash only.
The food is absolutely delicious! The staff are both very warm & highly professional. The atmosphere feels as if you've walked into a charming American sidewalk restaurant ! I adored it & highly recommend a visit!
Well, where to start? The food ✅ The staff ✅ The vibe ✅ I feel like the waitress was about to karaoke & I'm here for that 🫶🏼 the classic tunes really added to the ambiance. Great place, really enjoyed it & definitely coming back. Went for the first time on Tuesday & went back with someone else the next day! 😅🤣🤣
