Design*Sponge: The “basic” breakfast can’t be beat: $5 for eggs, hash browns, toast and a cup of joe. If you’re there during school season – beware – as it will be brimming with college students. Read more.
Jack Wilson: If you are a coffee fan, it's great! If you like specialty drinks, the apple pie is AMAZING and I have heard the McBowl is good too.
Damon Stafford: Fist-time visiting. Saw this place profiled on Food Network. Had the salmon plate and a "McBowl" specialty coffee. Fantastic!

Robert Piraino: The parking here is terrible, mostly due to the fact that the Vandy kids stay here all day and study. Can be hard to find a seat, but staff is very friendly and efficient. Lots of cute Vandy girls too
Pickle Cintron: Keep your eyes open. Met my husband here 8 years ago.
Carl Harkness: If you're looking for Scott Quintana, look for the handsome gentleman destroying it behind the bar, hitting on your cute girls, and rocking the maroon.
Jamie Cadmus: 2 for 1 PBRs during the day, awesome bartenders, and fun atmosphere. Try the pineapple vodka.
Matt Petty: Peep the hole in the floor at the far end of the bar. Gotta get all the way down. Nobody will look at you funny. They're used to it.
Jacob Swimmer: Too bad. This bar is rad, but the people in here are snotty and smell like pee. It's really a problem. They should leave and shove a deodorizer up their uppity asses, and never come back. Vandy. Wow.
