Traveler reviews
Vincent
★★★★★8 months agoI tried the XL Sandwich Ultimate Breakfast with bacon, two fried eggs, provolone cheese, and chipotle mayo, and it was excellent. I also had their espresso, which was very good. Great coffee overall. They have other options as well, like their soufflé pancakes, which I still have yet to try. I will definitely be visiting again very soon and would recommend this place.

★★★★★2 months agoThe pulled pork sandwich was absolutely delicious, and the pancakes were definitely worth the 20–25 minute wait. Highly recommended!
