Yum! Great breakfast corned beef hash and the frittata of the day. Really good GF toast not your typical tasteless white bread. Excellent friendly service with Micha who made multiple trips to the chef to verify everything I asked questions about. Will definitely be back.

The gluten free banana French toast was delicious. The waitress was knowledgeable and even checked the brand name of the bread used when we asked. Great coffee too!

I have Celiac. Yesterday, I ordered the BLT with egg. It was delicious, with fried green tomatoes. Today we went back! I had a magnificent, pretty much, handcrafted burger that stood about 8 inches tall with the toppings & gf roll. Cole slaw & a crisp picked wedge completed the meal. We're considering going back tomorrow! Lots of locals eat here.
