Cute place with a vintage type feel. Indoor or outdoor seating available. We ordered the Montana burrito and the Brisket hash... and boy, did they exceed our expectations! My husband said it was the best breakfast burrito he's ever had. My Brisket hash wasdelicious and flavorful. They have a wide selection of coffee and alcoholic beverages. The iced mocha did not disappoint. We'lldefinitely be back. Read more

Avocado toast was fantastic (make sure to add egg and bacon). Looks like several other great menu options as well. Seating and... atmosphere is great as well. They could use a bit more room in the order counter area. It gets a little cramped at busy times. Read more

Absolutely an amazing place to eat at. The food was stunning, customer service was top notch and polite, and the prices are the... best in town for real food cooked to order. Love the niche environment setup they have. Just a comfortable location to eat at Read more

The location, atmosphere, and feel were good. It has an older rustic feeling; once you walk in, it is a slightly newer feel but... retains that antique and diner atmosphere. You have the option to dine outside (weather permitting) or inside. The location hasa few stores that are leased out to a small business that open for some hours throughout the week, making it a small destinationstop with food, drinks, and coffee. We decided to give a few items a try. The waffles, croissant, eggs, bacon, and breakfastpotatoes, as well as the chorizo burrito. A couple things to note. The eggs and bacon as a platter used real eggs. I believethe egg for the burrito and croissant sandwich was liquid eggs and had a distinct taste of liquid eggs. Our favorite was theWaffles. They did not come out browned (we like them more like a cake ourselves, many others like the browned and crispierones), so I thought I would point that out. The croissant and Burrito were both heavily seasoned and just far too salty. Forthis reason, we only had a few bites and would be why we gave 3 stars. It could be an off visit, but it was definitely far overseasoned. The coffee was great! I got an Iced Carmel macchiato with an extra shot and thoroughly enjoyed it. The owner stoppedby to grab our dishes and let us know that they started about 4 months before Covid and have been around since. One note that Ibelieve would help take this business to the next level would be the front area where orders and drinks are made. They had 1person staffing it. It seemed as if she was doing the orders and making drinks. I saw a few people that had to wait well over 10minutes for beverages and believe if they had a dedicated drink person, that would take them to the next level. Water isavailable as a self server option in the dining area. I should end with I would revisit the location to see if we have the sameexperience with food but would come again for coffee as long as the wait was shorter. Read more
