    We went for Sunday breakfast, my husband and I. The ambiance was relaxed and the decor was cozy. We felt welcomed right away and were greeted with a friendly smile. We were offered two options for tables which was a nice touch. The menu offered a great variety of options. Our server was friendly and offered a great service. The food was very tasty and the coffee was great too. The tiny jars of preserves were delicious. Highly recommend this spot for your next outing! We will be back!
