Stopped by for breakfast on Saturday around noon, thinking it would be crazy busy with all of the graduations going on however we were able to get that right away… Super cute spot! I got the mimosa flight, which was so good! I opted for a traditional sausage and eggs breakfast and upgraded the pancakes to chocolate chip, my honey had the burger with the egg and the queso! I’m usually a pretty picky eater, but I branched out and decided to try a bite of his burger and it was to die for good!!! Our waitress was super cutie! I can’t remember her name but she had blonde hair and light eyes??! And I loved all the real plants around the place too! Jess takes care of them and was so sweet to give me a little baby clipping of one of the plants I found to be super interesting when I’d asked our waitress about it! Great food! Great service, we’ll be back ◡̈

Oh. My. Goodness! The cinnamon roll cakes were AMAZING!!!! It taste like you're eating an actual cinnamon roll. Wherever I go out, I always finish all of my food but this time I couldn't. The pancakes are a very nice size and they give you three of them so it's a lot! The dd hash was pleasant surprise. I thought it was potatoes at first obviously but the waitress made sure I understood what they actual were before submitting my order and they weren't bad at all! If I recall correctly it's butternut squash, mushrooms, and I think there's some onions too but it was very good.

This place is awesome! The food was absolutely delicious! When you walk in the place is open and very pleasant. The staff was friendly and attentive. My husband got the southwest flannel hash and he loved it! I got the chocolate strawberry cakes and as a devout chocolate lover it was delectable! I also recommend the spiked Palmer. We will definitely be back to eat here, I have my eyes on the cinnamon roll cakes next!

The food was so delicious. The service was great, not too long of a wait (10 minute). They got us right in and served us instantly. I had the omelet and potato’s. Pricing was reasonable. We got the bottle of champagne as well, pretty tasty with the peach juice. The burger was great, sweet potato fries were the best I’ve had in a while, the banana bread French toast was also great!! The jam was freshly made and 10/10.

It’s rare to find a good breakfast spot these days, but this place nails it with well-seasoned food! It was a delight to spend a lazy morning here. Despite a busy Saturday, the service was excellent, the manager was attentive, our server was super helpful, and the busboys efficiently cleaned tables, so we didn’t wait long for seating. We especially loved the cinnamon pancake! While the food isn’t revolutionary, it’s comforting and familiar. What sets it apart is the seasoning and preparation, you can tell it’s made by skilled cooks.

I found the atmosphere to be uncomfortably warm, which detracted from the overall dining experience. Despite the temperature issue, the food presented a mixed bag of flavors. While the savory dishes were somewhat lackluster, the sweet options, particularly the cinnamon rolls pancakes , were delightful and worth recommending. If the restaurant could improve the indoor climate, it might enhance the comfort and enjoyment of their guests.

The chicken bacon waffle was a huge disappointment. It honestly sucked and was super greasy.
The bee keeper coffee was also disappointing.
On top of that, I had my two hypoallergenic dogs with me. One was on my lap. The other with my friend on her lap/bench.
Some lady who I am assuming was the supervisor had the audacity to tell us to put the dogs in the floor but it was ok for two tables of 4-6 ppl that JUST ran a marathon to sit down. Like that's far more disgusting than a dog.
On top of that, they had gotten groomed the day before and it was pretty obvious.
Don't say your a dog friendly restaurant when you aren't.

This place is an interesting place.
The photos make it seem better.
The staff was nice and kind and the food was okay. It is that attempt of being fancy but kind of falls on its face with the mixes instead of being more traditional.
The place gets very loud where it is difficult to hear those you are with.
We were seated in a corner next to two other tables and the other tables were seated after us, they got a waitress, input their drinks and eventually their food before anyone approached us. Contemplated leaving just before we were finally approached (Was 12 minutes or so). However, once we were noticed, the staff is kind.
I wouldn't recommend the place to anyone but if asked about it, I would say it is alright and wouldn't steer anyone away from it.
