Me and my boyfriend have been here twice now and both times absolutely loved it. The first time we both got omelets this time I got the stuffed French toast🤤🤤 and he got the chicken cordon Bleu. We both loved it. I'm not a big French toast person but it was so good.

My absolute favorite breakfast and lunch place in the area! I always get the same thing- Some Like It Hot Frittata, but today switched it up with this Green Chili, Onion & Salsa Skillet (added chorizo)! With a deliciously strong cold brew coffee!

Absolutely love this place. Great food and great service. I really enjoyed the eclectic art feel of the place. And everything is well prepared and the hand crafted coffees are amazing!

This is always a very good restaurant. Food is awesome. Service is great. They greet you on entry and usually on exit. Parking is difficult at best. A small pay to park area to the south and east near the rail road tracks is available. Also a small free parking area at the rear of the building near the tracks. Stopped in for lunch today. It was approximately half full. Both sides were open for dining. The order was taken quickly. For the amount of customers it seemed to take longer than usual time to receive the order. They have more than just breakfast. Everyone talks about breakfast. The breakfast is good, try something else people. The Chicken Cordon Blu was very tasty with lettuce and thick sliced tomato and onion. Home potatoes and sliced pineapple and cantaloupe added for desert. I will return.

Will not be back. Food was good. Service was ok until we were asked to leave. We swiped our card for parking at 917 and was back out to our cars by 1020. We spent $65 on breakfast plus a $20 tip and we were asked to get up and leave so others could have our table. I couldnt even have a second cup of coffee. We wouldnt have been there too much longer i certainly wasnt planning on inhaling breakfast and running out the door. After reading other reviews this is evidently common practice.

The food was good and the server was quick and friendly. One star knocked off for the limited card payment options (no AmEx). Fortunately I had cash on hand since my debit card wasn't working. More prominent warning of this would have been nice.

Always great breakfast /brunch /lunch fare here, offered with spectacular service and a funky atmosphere. Conveniently close to SIU campus and a popular location for students and faculty. The only place in town that has mastered the art of the poached egg. The eggs benedict is fantastic. The skillets are delicious. Sandwiches will fill you up. Love the home fries on the side with lots of dishes. An extremely popular place on Saturday... Expect a wait. Other times, you may get lucky and get seated right away. Highly recommend. 5 star establishment.
