My husband is a creature of habit and got the street tacos which she gets every single time he goes. I got the shrimp and grits and it was absolutely wonderful. Highly recommend. We brought our three month old daughter with us and we were provided with a sling for her car seat and we had a lovely dining experience.

Unique food choices and friendly staff. The service has always been excellent. (We did have a server who messed up our bill this most recent time.) The cinnamon roll is delicious but a bit too heavy on the icing. They have a homemade “Pop-Tart” which is tasty but a bit soggy—not crisp as I would prefer. The cappuccino is excellent!
