👍 I came in with my kids early on a Saturday morning. It had just opened but there were already a few families there.

👍 The breakfast potatoes and avocado sandwich were both phenomenal for brunch. Service was quick and efficient. Nice patio and decor inside. The omelets were also good. Would be interested to come back to try more items on the menu.
