Grace is a wonderful waitress! Had an omelet! Was a good size, so make sure sure you are hungry. Loved the home potatoes!

Be Mindful: if you need split checks, tell your server; they don't split at pay counter. Also, orange juice is charged by the glass, NO refills. Otherwise: pancakes are great!

Apple pancake is baked and comes crispy on the edge and soft and half cooked on the middle & it taste good. Vegetable omelette is delicious and very well cooked. Coffee is good.

The best coffee. This may be my new morning hangout. The best tip: Have breakfast during the week around 9 AM. No Rush. A great for breakfast and to plan your day.

The whipped cream is off the chain. I'm excited about the pumpkin pancakes. The 50's flavor is great with the cook visible. However, the staff doesn't match. Keep the theme going. Great food though!!

I don't go here for the decor. It's all about the food baby! Omelets and pancakes are the truth. Jordan is the best server ever and she looks like Mila Jovovich.

Omelets are cheeeesy, and the heaping bowls of fruit with cream to dip in are on point! One of my favorite breakfast spots in Atlanta

Try the Veggie Omelette With Salami - Extremely fluffy and overstuffed, this came with mushroom, tomato, broccoli, onions, aged cheddar and spinach. I added diced kosher salami and asked for spicy Spa

The fresh fruit (w/ whipping cream) is amazing. Ask to mix up the fruit (I like strawberries & bananas). And the pumpkin pancakes, while not actually on the menu, are awesome. A short stack is plenty.

Ivan was my waiter. I had everything I needed before it was needed. He even brought me a fresh cup of coffee instead of a warm up. It really is the small details that make the difference.

Love this place!!! They know my kids and me, they are very nice people, their food is delish! Long lines on weekends, so go before 0930 hrs.

The strawberry crepes are fantastic! With the new ownership and cooks though they have become inconsistent.
Brooke EtierSeptember 3, 2011
Everything on the menu is great and my favorite weekend waiter is Bill. Also, don't forget the bar is first come, first serve for seating if there are only 2 of you.

Coffee is really good, order the fresh fruit crepes, the apple thing that takes half an hour to prepare, cheese grits. Get here before 9 am unless you like to stand in line

Apple pancake is awesome. Order early, it takes a bit to make.
Sam LackNovember 12, 2018
Banana pancakes were so good! Skip the eggs/other dishes, just get pancakes.
Carlos MoralesAugust 16, 2014
$9.49 for one waffle and a cup of berries. The egg white cheese omelette with cheddar looked like a lemon meringue pie. It was baked fluff on top of the cheese. Gross

The mixed fruit bowl with whipped cream is addictive! I had the pumpkin pancakes too! So good!
Desmond ClarkMay 30, 2016
The food and the employees! What is not good -- not enough disabled parking, the place needs to be renovated -- horrible looking tables and it seems they are out of date with stuff!
Harry WoodworthJune 9, 2013
Get here early on weekends. The food isn't worth a 20+ minute wait to be seated especially when there are a million other breakfast places in Atlanta.

Delicious breakfast... Although wait times are not what they quote. Quoted 25 minutes and waited 1 hour.

The Dutch Baby takes time but it's the best item on the menu

I took the advice of those who recommended the fresh berries and cream. OMG!! Delicious!

Be patient if you order the omelet... They bake them after they come out of the pan. It's worth the wait.

I love the cherry crepes. (Hold the whipped cream.)

The apple pancakes take 30 minutes to make. Tell them when you check in to get your number and they'll be ready when you sit down.

Get a number and some Free coffee while you wait to be seated.

The Omelette, not the pancakes, may be the reason people brave the long waits. Read more
