Breakfast here is phenomenal. Chef Coe delivers all the classics in addition to his elevated breakfast creations that are fresh, unique and most importantly delicious. What I liked best is nothing tastes heavy or greasy. Cute country breakfast vibe inside with a low counter breakfast bar and a couple of booths and maybe 8 tables. Service was prompt and friendly; not pushy or rude like a lot of breakfast joints around here can be. 10/10

Excellent breakfast spot. The chef owner takes the ordinary and turns it into the extraordinary. On my first visit here I chose the avocado toast. It was outstanding with several layers of flavor going on. My companion chose the Mexican omelette which he deemed very good. Great presentation on both plates. Looking forward to a return visit to try some of the other menu items. Excellent service.

Have gone twice; knowing who the chef is, was still not overly impressed. Decor is OK, booth had a broken spring(s), our server forgot our initial order, drinks aside from coffee come in soda bottles, they use little individual creamers like a cafeteria, and home fries were served with a veggie burger, so we asked for fries (that were few and cold...) We wanted to really like it, but in the end, can't say that we will be back.

Amazing food we had the crab cake Benedict and lobster BLT. Fantastic service. Super clean

Classic dinner in an old home. Solid but not worth going out of your way for! My breakfast sandwich was solid. Came with very few hash browns.Parking: Small lot

Not very good. Ordered eggs over easy and I think they cook them in water Becuase when I got the eggs on the plate there was water on the plate and the eggs did not have the the pan marks on them. Sausages weren’t good either.

Went this morning for breakfast. Food was very tasteful. The homemade hash is fantastic. Quality ingredients and great service. the waitstaff is awesome. Busy but everything runs smooth. Definitely will be returning. Great addition to the local dining options in town

My wife was excited to try it. She had the smoked salmon Benedict, and I love good hash, so I tried the hash and eggs. Mine came and looked like prison food. I know presenting hash isn't easy but I've never had it looking this bad. The taste was OK but kind of bland.My wife's Benedict looked awesome...but the salmon was very fishy tasting and I could smell it across the table. We we're both disappointed. We'll give it another chance someday but with so many great breakfasts places around it will be awhile.

Was there with my husband for Valentine's day. Arrived around 7:30AM and we were the only ones in the front dining room. We both ordered the Lumberjack breakfast and a pancake side. The food took forever to arrive. The lumberjack was missing a sausage link on both plates and even though the server was really nice, when we asked about it, she told us with conviction it comes with 2 links, at which point we asked to see the menu again and we pointed out that it says it comes with 3. When she realized the mistake, she immediately apologized, corrected it, and gave us the extra links. The bacon was way overcooked. Not everyone likes their bacon extra crispy and twisted. For the price, the portion of home fries is disgraceful. We had 4 pieces! of potato on our plates. That is hardly a serving. Also, it comes with one slice of toast, when in most breakfast places the tradition is 2 slices. We like the locale, but with so much competition in town and close by, we will not be back. Stop ripping people off with your portions. The food is not greater than the competition to guarantee the prices.

Just disappointed in our server and food. Got the chicken and waffles and it came with BBQ sauce on the bottom of the plate. Didn’t say that on the menu. Didn’t get any syrup either which made the waffles very dry. Server took 15 minutes to make an iced coffee, and it was on the slower side to the Saturday afternoon. Told her I wasn’t happy with the BBQ sauce on the plate and she shrugged and didn’t want to help with anything. Was the worst chicken and waffles ever.

This is a really cute place right on Route 27 in Kingston. I was in a hurry so I stopped in sat at a table up front at the window. I had their Greek omelette it was delicious! The waitress was great, coming over checking of coffee and did not have to wait for it. They have almond milk which is definitely a bonus for me. I definitely will come back.

What a great breakfast spot! The food was delicious, everyone loved their meal. I got the Green Eggs and Ham and it was delicious and such an elevated dish! Chef Stephen Coe was the reason we stopped in and he has done a phenomenal job with this charming spot! The staff was so friendly and attentive. I would recommend this place to anyone! 10/10!

Local impresario Stephen Coe acquired the Early Bird last fall and has since elevated this Kingston landmark to new heights. With new additions to the classic menu and Coe's signature touchs, the Early Bird promises a great breakfast experience. During my recent visit, our server Austin, a Seattle grunge aficionado, provided spot-on recommendations as we sat at the bar. My youthful companion ordered French toast with a side of their homemade corned beef hash, while I decided to double down on our hash investment and ordered the hash benedict. Both dishes were so delicious that we ordered two more side orders of hash to-go. Needless to say, the rest of our family enjoyed them just as much as we did.
