Called here this Saturday morning for breakfast in this warm and inviting dog friendly establishment. The large, and the small breakfast were very good quality and delicious. The Americano was excellent, the cappuccino could have been a little stronger. The place has a good feel about it, and the young lady who looked after us genuinely cared. Highly recommended.
