A must stop. Our first visit went amazing. They have fantastic Matcha Lattes, and everything on the menu looks smashing. We both absolutely loved our picks of the, make your own omelette with side of hashbrowns and toast, and Monte Cisco stuffed French toast with egg as the choice side. Mwuahhh!!

Stopped for lunch. Very nice setting with tables or a bar to choose from. Tried the Beef Blackberry Jam Melt with fries. It was very tasty, well balanced where the jam’s sweetness was present but not overpowering of the beef, Gruyère, or arugula on the toasted sourdough. The fries were crispy on the outside nice and soft on the inside, with a very good seasoning. I don’t feel that the portions were too large or small, just about right for what you would expect for lunch.

Fabulous!!! Our first time here. It took a second to find the correct door, upon entering the wonderful and welcoming atmosphere made us feel immediately at home. Good coffee and tea in a wonderful mug. A proper cup that so few establishments offer these days. The food was fantastic. The soup was delicious. The Rueben was 5⭐ from multiple people in our group. Absolutely worth the short drive from Marshfield. If I need to book an event in the area I would consider the event space associated with this location. Only suggestion is for the waitress to focus on table service over other tasks.
