Big fan of the ole omelette. Always get it with multigrain. They have Big Shoulders coffee and will let you have a cup while you wait.Upvote6Downvote
VJune 24, 2015Their pecan pancakes are super delicious, plus they gave me caramel on the side 👼 In the morning cafe was very crowded ,but service was fast and nice. Interior is pretty simple.

Fun, fun, fun. Food is clever. Service is energetic and attentive. Menu is creative. Yet, truth be told, it’s the Banana Bread French Toast that brings me back. Yum!

The Belgium waffles, the service, the omelettes, the fruit, the giant menu. This place is great.
