Excellent food and great waitstaff. Friendly atmosphere. Breakfast sandwiches are my favorite but don't miss the blueberry pancakes either. Lunch specials very innovative. Great salads.

This place is fun, whether you come in the warm weather season or winter. It's cozy, and in a great location in Ocean Grove if you choose to walk around town or see the beach before or after your breakfast or lunch.

Eat indoors or outside! Unique salad platters! Great breakfast menu. Moderate prices! Pleasant service!

most of the staff are very efficient and attentive. the food is good as is the selection. We like to breakfast there as much as possible, not always easy cause they are not so near to us, but we find it to be the best breakfast around. Staff generally will accommodate special requests as they are able.

Had breakfast here one Sunday. The place was very busy and we had a short wait. The food was very good, my friend especially liked the cherry almond pancakes! Their sausages were excellent, reminiscent of those you find in England.
