Breakfast was fresh and delicious! It’s cooked right on the spot which I love because I love my food hot! And the owners were super nice and humble I would highly recommend trying them out!
Popped in to get a quick grab and go, got a strawberry frosted donut and cup of coffee, and both were excellent. As I was paying, I glanced at the menu and saw they had 4-cheese grilled cheese and decided to add that to my takeout order. There were three ladies working and all 3 assisted in preparing my order and all three had friendly small chat with me. The environment/atmosphere is simple, the best part was the food quality and the service. Definitely recommend supporting small businesses and this one is worth it! I parked in the back lot and I think I remember not stepping up into the cafe but I could be wrong, there might be a small lip to step over if you have a wheelchair for example, but then again, it could just be no step at all. Bon appetit!
I loved it. We ordered the hotcakes, a malta float, and the special breakfast with French toast, eggs, bacon, and the best home fries I’ve ever had. Everything tasted homemade and comforting, like a meal made with love. The coffee was amazing — and coming from someone from Colombia, that’s saying a lot! The vibe was relaxed, clean, and very welcoming. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a place that feels like home and serves great breakfast.
I ordered the Carmanny Breakfast Bowl with turkey, tomato and cheese to-go. I’m not even an egg person and this was incredible. Ate every last bite. I wish I could have this every day, but I’ll definitely be back. Thank you!
My FAVORITE 1st stop every morning for my coffee and breakfast. The owners are always so friendly and welcoming. Service is always above and beyond. My coffee is always on point and my breakfast makes me want to lick the plate but people might look at me weird lol. I LOVE to support family owned businesses so I will forever be a fan and a returning customer. You girls rock, thank you for the hospitality and morning smiles every time we come in.
