We had a delicious French toast with caramelized banana and it was incredible. We also asked for a strawberry milkshake with Oreo in it because we couldnt decide which flavour to get and it was really good. Will surely be back to try more shakes.Thanks!

I visited here for the first time last weekend and it was lovely. We went Sunday afternoon and had no wait time for a table. Very cozy atmosphere. Our server was helpful and friendly. I ordered the ham and Swiss eggs benedict and a coffee. ...Thanks so much! We really appreciate it. And are very glad you enjoyed yourself
