A very nice surprise! Great breakfast menu, surprisingly tasty bread/toast, fresh eggs and good options. Classic diner/cafe. Good service too.

Whether you live in this area or are just passing through, you should come here and experience hometown dining at its best. Breakfast is butter soaked and fattening. The jam is homemade (and sometimes sold by the jar). Potatoes are hand diced (forget that prepackaged crap). Pancake batter is made from scratch. Your coffee cup gets topped off often and you never feel rushed to leave your comfy spot despite the steady stream of patrons. -

Not only is this town off the beaten path, so is "Main Street" which you very well could miss it if you didn't know it was there.
So I'm not usually writing a review on my first visit but this place needs to be celebrated.
Don't get me wrong,there is nothing bold or exciting about it, it is just good people making and serving a good solid breakfast. And since breakfast is my favorite meal of the day (happy hour is a close second), I had to write about it.
This restaurant is one of those places that when you first walk in, it feels good. It feel like an old sweater. It was busy but we were given a nice hello and were able to sit right away at the counter. As you looked around you could tell that some of the utensils had been switched out to reflect the holiday season. This was quintessential mom's greasy spoon but without all the grease.
As we sat at the counter, we could kinda see back into the kitchen. I had ordered the Southwest Hash with home made chorizo. My potatoes? They were getting hand-diced.
That's some love right there. When is the last time you had hand-diced potatoes? I've had them with a can crusher style machine for fries but never hand-diced.
By the time the food had been cooked (one cook, doing up all the breakfasts so you may as well relax and enjoy yourself) I was ready to feast and I was not disappointed. The sunny side-up eggs were perfect to allow the yolk to ooze through the potatoes. The home made chorizo had a nice spice but wouldn't knock someone down.
But seriously, before I started eating it, the look and the smell of the dish made me so happy I decided to give it a siracha smiley face.
But that jam. That jam was the JAM. I mean, you knew it was homemade but I had to ask about it anyway which made our server smile. She said it varies and depends on what she the owner feels like making. That day they were serving up a jam made from raspberry and peaches.
It was so good I finished mine AND my lady friends.
The place also offers take out. You need a cup of Joe to go? They have cups for that. It also looks like they make their own donuts and what not. There was also a thick banana cream pie sitting on the shelf which looked amazing! Unfortunately/fortunately(your pick) I was full from breakfast so dessert may have to happen next time.
It also looks like they do a fish fry or something on Fridays as that is the only time they do dinner. This place otherwise is breakfast or lunch only.
The place is cash or check only and I definitely will be back. -

This cafe is just ok. Nothing amazing but nothing terrible. The food portion sizes are pretty good. The interior is very small. One of my cups still had some lipstick on it once. But overall that hasn't been a problem.

Really great food. It's a little hole in the wall and you just wouldn't expect it to be worth your time, but it's now our favorite breakfast place and we go every weekend! It's a little local secret. Great baked goods, too!
