Sometimes the best times come when you are spontaneous. Morning errands feeling a bit of hangry. Passed by this location and thought to give it a try. Nice and cozy tucked in Nutley. Back side parking into the location too in addition to street parking. I ordered chicken and waffle. I’m very particular about my pancakes, waffles, and bread. I don’t like sogginess. This waffle is NOTHING but firm, tasty, and I didn’t use syrup bc with the powder sugar, it was just perfect. BF did chorizo Benedict. Spicy but tasty.

Stopped in after running some errands with my boyfriend and friend. A little wait (5-10 min.) before being seated but not bad. The Halloween decorations were really cute and festive. Food was amazing. Especially the home style potatoes. Very well flavored, probably with rosemary.

This place is a rare gem, in that all of the elements that make it an experience are top notch! The food: you can’t go wrong with anything on this menu( although the croissant French toast , hungry human and eggs Benedict combos are top notch breakfast items ) the atmosphere - small town charm within a revamped Victorian setting decorated for each season. Let’s not forget the crew! They are all amazing and Tim is one of the nicest friendliest people you would ever meet! I’m from NYC, trust me this place is an experience , love it here!

An absolute hidden gem! From the place to the service and the FOOD, everything was just so good!!! one of the best breakfasts I've had in a long time! The ice coffee was also amazing! Prices are very low compared to other places in the area , and it's so worth it! Our total came to just below 30 for two people. And we were sooo full!

I have been here before. I took my father here for Father's Day. As expected, we did have to wait to be seated but it was only half hour. Once seated the waitress took care of us. Owner and staff are very nice and accommodating. They work so hard. The food was delicious as always. So if you are looking for a quick meal, check when off time is. You will have to wait. They do take reservations. I didn't know that. Space isn't big but it is quaint and I love it. The Food is Worth the Wait!

Y’all I was not expecting this place to be so good. The food was good. The chai tea is so delicious! The homefries are seasoned!!!! And they were sooo good. The waffle was fluffy and soft The breakfast burrito was good. The only thing that could have been better was the syrup, yuck. Please get some natural maple syrup. Please check it out if you are in the area! It’s definitely a vibe
