Crema's Take
“This North Haven breakfast destination has earned its reputation as a local favorite by doing the classics exceptionally well—their omelets and benedicts (especially "The New Yorker") keep regulars coming back, while their grits have become the stuff of neighborhood legend. Come hungry and expect a pleasant wait, as word has clearly gotten out about their generous portions, fresh ingredients, and genuinely attentive service that makes families feel genuinely welcomed. It's the kind of place where the noise level tells you everything you need to know about how good the food really is.”

I love omelets and my family loves them too. You won’t regret it. I still have to try more dishes but all the dishes look delicious.
Food was good, I had the pastrami eggs benedict, “The New Yorker”. It was delicious and I would definitely would eat it again. Service was great, very attentive, only got to drink a quarter of my hot coffee before it was filled to the brim again. Ambiance was good. Would strongly recommend. I would absolutely come again.
Local diner in north haven that does get packed very quickly and serves phenomenal food. If you plan to dine here you need to expect a wait but not incredibly long but well worth the wait. My wife and I will spend our time away from the kids to share a meal here and we love this place. If youre looking for good comfort food, burger, omelets etc the whole menu is delicious and they even offer their own homemade muffins or cookies to enjoy. The servers are all very nice, attentive and professional.
Hands-down, one of the best breakfast spots I’ve been to in the area. Delicious food, lots of options. The grits are unmatched, and the service is quick and friendly. They get very crowded so I would suggest going as early as you can. And, if you don’t mind sitting at the counter, you’ll probably get a seat quicker on busy mornings. They also have a drive-through if you’d prefer to pick it up without going inside. You won’t be disappointed!
I love coming here for breakfast on the weekends. They have a great selection of benedicts, omelettes & wraps, serve fresh food and keep everything clean. The waffles could be better but not a big problem for me. The service is pretty quick but just try to make reservations if you have a group of more than 4 people.
