I Dined at this cute little cafe 3 times to make sure I was right in my experiences....Feeling foolish now as it did not get any better

I ordered the pancakes which are absolutely devine....The chef i met and spoke with is the cutest little old lady i have seen in a very long time. She obviously loves to cook and does it well.

My biggest problem was the service. it seemed to depend on a scale of 1-10 it never reached a full 7 for me. Either i had the curly haired young lady who just wouldnt look at me or i had the overtly fake redhead with a desire to inspect your personal life for clues to your possible connections in the 10minutes it took her to make me a coffee...all of this scrutiny done in full frontal view of everyone there....Uncomfortable much??

I guess "Hot gossip" is appropriate then.

The food on display was very pricey and did not appear to look very fresh so i stuck to the menu board.

Like i said the pancakes with bacon and bananas, although decadent were very very nice, i found the BIG breakfast to be a let down.

All that said i give it a hard 6/10 mainly for the cutest lil old chef!!
