Recently discovered this cafe and have been there at least five times in a span of 3 weeks. If that doesn’t say it’s a good choice, then keep reading.The skillets are made to perfection with crispy hash browns (which I usually skip) with the tender choice of meat and grilled veggies. The Farmer’s Daughter French Toast is one of the most delicious French Toasts I’ve ever had, it’s a perfect breakfast/dessert when you really just want to eat something delicious.Now the drinks: Their black plain coffee is smooth and tasty even without sugar. I love the lavender latte, foamy and served with a cute design, all perfect for a rainy day. If you like high quality tea, then this is the place to go get one.Most importantly the service is always friendly and the atmosphere is friendly for all ages.

This was some of the best breakfast ever! Very well seasoned food. Had got the iced coffee flight and I don’t think it was worth the price. Flavors lacked. The steak and eggs was so good! All the employees were very nice and friendly. Clean area. Would definitely recommend this spotKid-friendliness: Plenty of kids there with families

Went here to catch up with a friend after not seeing each other for awhile. The ambiance was welcoming and bright. Definitely gives a good vibe to come with friends. The food is where I struggle a bit. It was good, but for the price point, I expected just a bit more. Between a single slice of bacon for my wife's meal (it was, in fact, good thick-cut bacon), less than crispy hash browns on all three dishes, and undercooked eggs for my eggs Benedict, I was just hoping for a bit higher quality. The coffee, however, was very good. I would definitely come back for the coffee and would give the food another chance, but our experience just left a bit to be desired for the amount of money we were spending per dish.

Pretty good food. Little bit pricey. Rasberry crumble crepes, 3 crepes, no sides $16. Fries $5

Excellent service. Excellent food. The coffee is the best in lake county in my opinion! Weekends are busy so make a reservation if you have a large party.

Came here with my family, and we all really enjoyed. Though the presentation of the food was basic, the taste was perfect. We really enjoyed all of our food, and the green chilaquiles were delicious. The atmosphere is great, and the whole restaurant was beautiful and clean. All the staff were super friendly and welcoming, and they were all extremely quick with their work. We really enjoyed it here, and we would come again.
