Food Scene

American breakfast & brunch specialist with a snug, informal 2nd-story setting. Seating is limited and the wait can sometimes be long, but it is worth it! Grab a cup of coffee and relax in the coffee shop downstairs while you wait. Brad loves any of the french toasts. Abby enjoys the breakfast burrito and cubed breakfast potatoes.
