Love this place always A1 quality breakfast. Ingredients are fresh and tasty. Service is top notch. They fixed me up mid bike ride and fueled me up. I've been coming here for over 10 years.
Great breakfast with great service. The Shawsheen omelette was tender and delicious, the hash browns were perfectly crispy. the blueberry pancakes with lemon zest were also a highlight. Will definitely come back!
One word, pancakes. Even if you're ordering omlettes or home fries add at least one pancake. The staff is so friendly and welcoming. We went on a Friday morning with kids and were easily seated. I will definitely be back.
One of the best breakfasts I have ever had! Staff was very friendly. Some unusual, but tasty items on the menu. The only place around that serves Johnny Cakes. And boy, were they good! Better than pancakes. I was told they get very busy on weekends, but on a Friday morning when I went were seated right away. I had pulled pork spicy hash with eggs. I believe the English muffins were homemade, as were the delicious hash browns.
We were a little worried when we walked in but it didn't take too long and they have awesome signs to read while waiting. Great service even though busy. Modified for dairy free with ease. Good homemade corned beef hash. My husband had "Barnyard in the Cornfield" . We left well fed. !
After a very brief wait, I was attended to swiftly and just as quickly brought the Shawsheen omlet I ordered. The omelet was filled with fresh vegetables and smoked bacon and the home fries had the strong flavor of potatoe, as they are supposed to. 😋 The coffee was spectacular as well. A first rate meal. 😎👍
Best pancakes I have ever had. My husband loved the chicken pepper steak omelet. Recommend, as well as the Nutella French toast (it would be even better with a touch of cinnamon imo!). The servers were all so sweet and attentive. We will be back ☺️
This place has been here for a really long time. Finally stopped for breakfast and it was terrific. The corned beef hash is tasty and almost all beef. Scrambled eggs were ight & fluffy, and the hash browns were hot & crispy. Service was quick and friendly. This is a great neighborhood spot, don’t pass it by!
Had an amazing experience here. We walked in on a Sunday afternoon at around 12 noon, and it was all packed, but the staff greeted us warmly and seated us at a tiny table. Soon after some patrons left, they offered to move us to a bigger table by the window, and I really loved this. Coming to the food, it was hearty and comforting. I had the egg breakfast with sausages and baked beans on toast. My bf had the chorizo sausage and eggs with hash brown. Both of us loved our food. Loved my morning cuppa Joe as usual. My bf loved his orange cream beverage as well and said it was refreshing. The entire place was really well maintained and the staff checked in on us from time to time! Would definitely visit again!
Really good food and a really good service! The hot chocolate with whipped cream 10/10
