Crema's Take
“This Albany gem delivers genuine comfort with lightning-fast execution—your pancakes hit the griddle before you finish ordering, and the all-day breakfast specials arrive in generous portions that justify the modest prices. The counter staff works with real synergy and care, whether they're crafting your tea just right or remembering regulars like the one who keeps coming back for the French toast platter, making it the kind of hole-in-the-wall spot where you feel known without trying.”

I always order the French toast platter with sausage it’s my favorite I be tearing that jawn up I usually order it through uber eats so I’m gonna take the time to go into the spot in person I ordered my baby some home fries they could have been seasoned better but overall their food is good and consistent in taste
First time in for me. Service was fast and efficient. They had my pancake on the griddle before I even finished ordering. 2 minutes later my whole order was on the table. Everything was fresh and tasty. 2 easy eggs, potatoes, sausage, toast, a pancake, an orange juice, Plus a Pepsi and a large coffee to go was under $25. Plus a small TIP cuz I'm poor. The staff/owner(s)? Were friendly and on point. I'll be back, check this place out.
I love this lil hole in the wall! Great breakfast all day. Amazing coffee and food. Amazing prices.
Breakfast special #4 with scrambled eggs, grits, and rye toast. The portions are big enough that they save time and dirty dishes by serving food in a nice container so you can put the lid on and bring your leftovers with you! It's a great place to go on a Saturday morning to get a nice home cooked breakfast!
First I want to say the service was top notch! The ladies working the counter were in total synergy with great customer service. The lady that helped me fixed my tea soooo good with lemon and sugar. She fixed so I can drink it while I waited for my food to go. The food was ok to good. The grits were ok but everything else was great. Cute neighborhood spot.
