We loved having breakfast here. Pancakes were utterly scrumptious and the best I’ve ever had. Service was exemplary and the restaurant is very cozy and inviting. I doubt I’ll find a better batch of pancakes anywhere! True 5 star experience

Arrived at closing time but staff were very accommodating! Just needed a quick bite to go, so got the chili and a cinnamon roll. Absolutely delicious!

Food was beyond fantastic potatoes to die for and toast was incredible. Servers were friendly enough and prices were great. I would order for take out again or in nicer weather when you can eat in the patio but I think there are too many tables inside for the size of the place with the amount of in and out traffic. Tables really close together. I was unfortunate enough to be seated right next to where people line up to place an order, super awkward having people standing overtop of your table while you eat. It’s definitely a nice homey vibe but if you have any sort of anxieties about eating in public you’re best to order and eat in the car!

Tried here this morning, a slightly cloudy Sunday morning in October. Arrived at probably 9:30ish and it was starting to get busy, but not packed. It's a cute house with outdoor picnic tables on one side of the lawn, a few on their deck, and seating for maybe 25-30 total inside. A couple of tables as soon as you walk in, and another dining room in the back. Cute & homey. I took a table in the back and was greeted immediately. Good chai latte in a cute floral mug. Very good "half benny combo" that left me full. Choice of different varieties, I picked the roasted veggie half benny, made on a homemade biscuit, flavor hollandaise, grilled sweet potato was the most visible veg, but am sure there was onion, maybe spinach in there. Side of fresh fruit & delicious sliced pan-fried potatoes. Friendly service and my food came in under 5 mins. The only downfall of the experience, was that I ran into a friend who sat with me, and they forgot to make her omelette. After a long wait, she had to approach the counter to ask about it. They apologized for forgetting, and she had to have it made to go at that point. I had long finished my meal. I think a partial refund should've been offered, but she didn't ask. Nonetheless, I definitely will make the drive here again, from Dartmouth.

Great food, great atmosphere and great people. Had the breakfast sandwich with a side of beans. Fantastic all around. So many spots in the cafe to sit and work quietly with great WiFi speeds. Bathrooms were very clean which speaks volumes for such a busy spot. Highly recommended local business to give a try, in my opinion.

Love this little cafe just off the highway. Espresso based beverages and lots of food options. They have bistro like food options as well as baked goods. They also have little containers of baked goods to take home (including GF!!). Great homey atmosphere and large outdoor seating.
