Good food, freshly cooked, never rushed
Everything on our menu is freshly cooked to order with no hot holding, which can mean a short wait at busy times. We think it is worth it, and so do our regulars. We comfortably seat 24 inside, with courtyard seating out front, and there is always a selection of homemade cake on the counter.
Vegetarian options are always available. Dogs are welcome, there is a small outdoor play area for children aged 2 to 8, and parking is free right outside the door.
