Quite possibly the BEST breakfast I've had in my life, the corned beef hash, at the recommendation of our delightful server (who also painted the sign) was excellent, adding a side of gravy to my biscuit was a great choice. My wife's shakshuka, awesome, and The Boy got pancakes that were also great. Everything tastes fresh and feels at least somewhat healthy, like real food! Will definitely go back.

Amazing grits!!! Breakfast was incredible and made even more special thanks to the kind and attentive service from Dava and Tory. Their hospitality was a huge part of the experience—they truly executed with care and grace. The ambiance gave cozy brunch nook vibes—warm, inviting, and perfect for a quick yet delicious start to the day. Highly recommend for both the food and the phenomenal service!

Dava was our server and she was super sweet. She helped us pick out some nice dishes. I loved this place and St. Peter’s University people were also having meetings inside the restaurant. Super cool to have the entire community support this place. I recommend this place. Very happy to have walked in to eat!
