Service was friendly. Food was fresh and reasonably priced. For 10 I had a delicious salad with couscous a fresh fruit salad and a yummy crab cake for lunch. They sold me on the peach muffins. Buying some for breakfast tomorrow. Reminds me a locally owned panera style eatery. Love it. Buy local. Support local.

This place is such a great hole in the wall and staple of New Bern. If a person is looking for a comfortable meal with quality food and a relaxing atmosphere that is not too fancy, this is the well established place the locals like to come.

I read the recent reviews and have to say our 1st time experience here was wonderful. The pancake came with fruitcup and we ordered a side of sausage. It was very tasty, the pancakes were fluffy (see my accompanying pics). The Egg Special was especially delicious with the spinach wrap. The order came out quickly and the staff was very friendly. The variety of coffee hit the spot. We both enjoyed reading the various free magazines and local newspaper. A nice break instead of staring at our cellphones - Lol :-)

My husband & I were visiting New Bern from Chapel Hill, and decided to go to breakfast here. The owner was very attentive & told us how it worked. We poured our own coffee than ordered from menu to him & he told us to sit anywhere. The music was soft Jazz, the food was fresh. We both had the same omelet. It was the Greek. We both are Vegetarian. It came with a fresh fruit cup, toast & real potatoes. We were in Heaven. Pleasant, quiet . We went back a second time & ordered the exact meal. It was 7:00am when we went both times. I think they open at 6:30.
