“ We were greeted warmly by a server and got seated in a little cute and cozy corner of our choice. The foods were brought out pretty quick and very fresh. We got French Toast Royal, the blueberry cream cheese is so delicious and vegetarian omelette which was a big enough portion for sharing. The sourdough toast with butter is so good. When we left, we met Amy the owner. Amy is very friendly and sweet. We definitely will come back. ”

“ Had the Cleuben (like a Reuben but with ham and turkey in place of the pastrami) - really good and different. Seasoned fries were just right too. Service was good and were seated in the back so it was quieter and we could talk without straining to be heard. ”
