Really loved this place. They have pancakes just like Wildflower cafe over in Clinton Township so now I dont have to drive that far to get them! Their omelettes are huge and crepes are super delicious. Definitely recommend this spot for a good brunch.

We came in with 4 adults and 5 kids not realizing that they closed their kitchen in 20 minutes. Regardless, they pleasantly served us with no concern for the fact that many thing were already cleaned up. Very family oriented and so friendly. Everyone was very happy to make our visit the best. I love this place. You will too!

Welcoming feeling as we walked in. Place is nice and clean. Restaurant was busy, lunch hour, yet we were sitted promptly and served almost immediately. Chicken noodle soup second best I've ever had, little hotter would of been excellent but taste made up for it! real chuncks of meat!Friendly servers, good food, speedy service, good portions and affordable prices!

My gf said: “I’m so hungry and I wanna some skillet breakfast”, then google brought us to this place. I must say, the food here is amazing! I had the Croissant and she had the Empire Skillet, both were fantastic!Everything in place was good, but if I had to suggest improvements I’d say:- Have a saucer so the spoon doesn’t lay on the table- Have more napkins on the tableOther than that, the place is great! Awesome job!
