This was my first visit to this restaurant. I had the Indian masala omelette with a bowl of fresh fruit as the side selection (you get to pick one) and it was absolutely delicious! The interior was nothing exciting, but very clean and comfortable, and quiet enough to converse with a friend. I was also happy to see a number …
Enjoyed brunch here on a Saturday. It was just two of us so we were seated quickly but larger parties may have to wait quite a bit during busy times. The menu was on the smaller side but suited for everyone. There are lots of options that suit dietary restrictions. The French toast, wrap, and potatoes were phenomenal. The drip …

I had a lovely cozy breakfast here on my first visit. The atmosphere, food and service were great!
The service was very friendly, accommodating, and relaxed. The food was also solid, I got the curry bowl and it had good flavor! If you are looking for a quick breakfast/brunch/lunch spot this is a great place! It’s also nice it is open seating -
The woman that greeted me was very helpful and informative! I did take out and while I waited she gave me a glass of water and checked in with me. Service was quick and I was in and out within 10 minutes!
A new favorite of mine. This place offers tons of vegetarian options and local specialties. They make one of the best tomato basil soups I've ever had! The sandwiches are delicious and reasonably priced too. Great for a quick, high quality meal. If you are vegetarian and new to the area, I would strongly recommend this restaurant.
