in the last weekStopped in for breakfast before a business meeting. Very friendly staff, excellent service, awesome food and coffee. I had the Cookie Jar omelette and delicious North Pole coffee. Omelette was cooked to perfection, bacon and ham inside. It's in my starred places. Will be back.

in the last weekI had the Gloria's country Breakfast and it came with a pile of bacon. It was delicious and came out pretty quickly. I sat in a smaller back room which didn't have the greatest atmosphere but was fine.

in the last weekWe loved everything about this place! The baked goods looked so yummy but I abstained. That won’t happen tomorrow when we return for another delicious breakfast. Our server was Rainy and she was great! The food is delicious, service wonderful and a warm local vibe that personifies a close knit community.
