The food is first class. Good selection of dishes. I had the pull pork sandwich which was brilliant, full of flavour. We also had the club chicken sandwich and a chicken ceaser wrap, both very good and big portions!

We've been here 8 years and this was our first time here. Shocked at how great this place is. Food selection for breakfast was good enough. Quality was good. Staff was welcoming to our family. We got a chicken biscuit, blueberry pancakes and our toddler got a pancake and eggs. All good. Great outdoor atmosphere near the water. No complaints.

Came here for breakfast while staying in Deale. Me, my husband, father, and father in law all agreed we really enjoyed breakfast here. They have a nice variety of pastries and breakfast favorites. Everything was tasty and service was fast and friendly. I liked the process of ordering food at the front counter and then seating yourself. The food came out quickly and was brought to our table. Definitely our favorite breakfast while in the area!

My family and I have eaten here several times over the last few months and it has never disappointed. The staff is extremely friendly, great food, and military friendly. The omelettes are good and the breakfast potatoes are fantastic. We’ve also had the jalapeño burger, caesar wrap, and club sandwich, all were very good and reasonably priced. They also have great pies and pastries for sale. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

Really liked this cute and very clean cafe. Had a surprisingly broad selection of food and drink offerings, both to go and eat-in. The baked goods were wonderful and the cappuccino was delicious. Service was fast. Also reasonably priced, not inexpensive though. Staff was super pleasant and helpful. The dining-in areas were in various rooms in the building giving the experience on the one hand, a private, intimate feel, but on the other hand, it got loud when a loud verbal group arrived. The whole place is nicely decorated and comfortable. There is also an outdoor section for al fresco dining when the weather is amenable. I definitely plan to go back for other offerings like the soups and salads.

Two egg platter if you are really hungry. BLT if you want something lighter. Home fries are amazing!! Don't skip them!! Five stars!! Fantastic service and breakfast here!! Side note: I don't recommend anything with avocado bc it's not freshly mashed or sliced. It's a paste consistency.
