I've heard good reviews about this place.
Went here for breakfast during weekend.
There was no wait time and the service was quick.
I got freshly made cinnamon roll pancakes.
It was scrumptious, heavy, and luscious.
If you have a sweet tooth, this dish is definitely for you.
Card machine was not working and I had to pay cash.
Otherwise, this place had a serene ambience and was worth the visit.

The process of ordering and being seated is a huge disorganized cluster you-know-what.
The avocado toast I'm pretty sure is made with refrigerated from a tub guacamole.
The tomato was light pinkish/see-through and crunchy.
The whole avocado toast was cold.
After waiting over 35 minutes for it, I was not going to send it back.
I would have been waiting another 35 minutes for something else 🤷‍♀️.
My husband enjoyed his breakfast croissant.
Observing other tables around us, they too waited a good 35 minutes like we did for our food.
Actually one table that was there before us got their food after us.
They were a 2 top just like us.
I can honestly say we were not impressed and nothing about our meal or experience makes us want to come back.

Ate here with my mom over the weekend. Pros- the food I had was delicious.
The bacon was salty, but I didn’t mind.
The biscuits were HUGE and not too dry.
I also recommend the cinnamon roll pancake! Cons- the restaurant service feels like it’s managed by someone without experience in a restaurant.
We had a server at our table every 3 minutes I think and while they were polite it was a bit much.
Also, one server got my mom a coffee refill and picked up the mug by the entire top where you drink from.
She was also wearing a glove, which are often dirtier than hands.
Additionally, when she returned the coffee (because they have to take it away to the front counter for a refill) she reached across the table and her baggy sweater sleeve dropped across the entire plate of hashbrowns and she didn’t notice.
I said something to her (trying to be nice!) and she asked if I wanted a replacement, but I declined and opted to not eat them (I over-ordered in reality). So, good food but maybe get it to go?
