Awesome place to go for breakfast. Many times there can be a wait, depending upon what time you go. The atmosphere and ambience is very warm, inviting, communal. It has a certain charm to it. The service was great, everyone was very friendly. We had such a lovely time there. It is worth the wait!
This place is very nice. We came at 1.55 pm and were still seated for lunch. Food was nice and freshly made. Also, everything was reasonably priced. We also got a pie from there which was delicious. Also place has its own parking which is a plus if you are driving there.
Amazing breakfast! Delicious bakery! Wonderful service today from Michelle! We are here on vacation from Texas and this is just exactly the sort of place we were looking for! And reasonable prices!
Great food if you like clean organic and fresh this is the place ,good service and the atmosphere is very relaxing other than a little cold for morning breakfast we were freezing but for some reason there was a male hostess running around in shorts and t-shirt also it was a little pricy for breakfast
We had the best breakfast here to start off our day in Bath! Our table got a variety of items from the menu including oatmeal, breakfast sandwiches, breakfast burritos, and two of their breakfast bowls. Everyone loved what they got and the portions were great. Staff was kind and the cafe itself was so cozy. We felt like we were around a kitchen table eating at home! Definitely a great spot and one we all would recommend.
I give this place a 10/10. Great atmosphere and friendly staff mixed with delicious food! We hope to come back.
Great meal, great service, a total gem! Would definitely recommend stopping here!! I had an Auntie Mae and I wish she was still here so I could tell her about this place!
The most welcoming, friendly and kind staff plus the food is amazing! You will love it here
This place is great. Outside seating, delicious food. We’ve been several times but I usually get one of the Benedict’s. Good home fries, good lattes and good bloodies. Can’t forget their pastries. Wife likes the lemon bars, cinnamon rolls for me. The cinnamon rolls are huge.
What a sweet little spot! The service was especially accommodating, and the baked goods are incredible. The breakfast was good. I asked for over medium eggs and they were hard. The bacon and the potatoes were close to burnt, but it was all servable and good enough to eat. We sat outside, and it was really nice weather 🌡️!! We lucked out in late September with 75° for breakfast around 10:30am. The baked goods are incredible and I highly recommend them, along with their delicious coffee.
