An amazing family business! All the breakfast items sounded delicious, it was hard to select just one meal, so as we visited town, we ate there two days in a row! All the items we ordered had a fresh and delicious twist. Service was excellent both times. I enjoyed all the artwork and bright colors adorning the restaurant. We look forward to returning soon!
