We've been wanting to go to this cute little breakfast house for years and finally did. We will be back! Prices were good, and food was even better. Variety of pancake options, and they tasted amazing.

The best breakfast spot in Sarasota hands-down. Wait for a spot on the patio because the vibes are ?. My favorite corned beef hash I’ve ever had and their grits are classic and delicious. If you have a sweet tooth, I recommend the stuffed pancakes or french toast!

Holy Kahlúa ……first time here….this place will ruin all other experiences because none will even come close to this. I’m saving the best for last….but FIRST - when your staff loves what they do, it’s like next level amazing. We had Lindsey as a server. Got the Coconut Nut Pancakes ? …..with real maple syrup ?????. We got a Mango Mimosa, Extra Spicy Bloody Mary….and the ultimate……. Espresso crème brûlée baked French toast with a Kahlúa whipped cream on top

I didn’t get a chance to taste the food because the service was so horrible we left. My cousin and her four children are visiting on vacation and we wanted to go enjoy breakfast. The waitress was extremely impatient and when we ordered drinks she couldn’t wait three seconds for one of the older children to decide her drink. She said I’ll come back and walked away. Then when she came back to take our order we asked to start with someone other than my cousin cause my cousin was still deciding and would be ready by the time she got back to her she had an attitude about that. We decided it wasn’t worth the wait and that we deserved to be treated better. Sucks for her cause I’m a good tipper! Especially when children are involved!!!

Over hyped. Pretty average pancakes but the price is very reasonable. The servers are very efficient but also robotic and lacking politeness & friendliness but maybe that’s their thing here. It also means that they focus on running to other tables for 15 minutes & ignore you when you try to flag them down so better make sure you ask for everything you want the first time & do NOT assume they know that people like cream with coffee/tea or that some people like warm syrup instead of syrup sitting on the table for 20 minutes. It took a long time to get our check and maybe a 5 minute wait to get our card back. They add 5% to the bill if you’re paying by card. My advice is that you ask for the check when you order so you aren’t left waiting forever when you’re ready to leave.

The service was great. Great staff! I was so happy they welcomed me and my pet. The food was excellent as well, but my only criticism is to add tofu or soyriso to the one vegan menu item. When I asked about it they said they don't get a huge demand for vegan. So disappointing. The vegan skillet would have been so much better with soyriso. As a vegan I will probably not return.Vegetarian options: They only have one vegan option for breakfast. Most likely I will not return. It would be nice if they could add a vegan protein, but manager said they dont get a huge demand.

Owner is as rude as they come. Never smiles and got very upset that some touched the umbrella on the front porch. When we asked about our food she snapped at us Jackie the hostess couldn't crack a smile if she tried. Very uncomfortable. Owner could use some maners. If you can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen. Will not be

I came here with my girlfriend today for my birthday. We didn’t mind the short 15 minute wait to get sat. Our server was overwhelmed and there was a problem with her handheld so our order got lost in the system. She came by and retook our order manually 10 minutes later, yet it still took nearly 30 minutes to come out. Now I would’ve been okay if she had apologized or acknowledged the situation, but she didn’t. The order came out wrong, for example, my girlfriend’s BLT came out with tomatoes when we told our waitress twice that’s she didn’t want any. The waitress also forgot about her side and my side. I had pancakes and they were good, but the whole experience was really drab. I won’t be back. To top it all off, we paid full price for all of the items and she never acknowledged the issues. Again, probably a good place some days, just definitely not today.
