Pro Tips

  1. 1.Arrive before 9 AM on weekends to avoid the brunch rush - this popular spot fills up fast and waits can exceed 30 minutes
  2. 2.Order at the counter and grab extra napkins - the biscuit sandwiches can get delightfully messy for little hands
  3. 3.Try the cinnamon roll if your kids have a sweet tooth - it's massive and perfect for sharing
  4. 4.Limited seating available, so be flexible about table location and consider takeout for larger families
  5. 5.Street parking can be tight on N Robinson St; arrive early or use nearby public lots within a short walk

Best Time to Visit

Weekday mornings between 8-9 AM offer the shortest waits and a quieter atmosphere. Weekend brunch (9 AM-1 PM) is bustling and fun but expect crowds.

What to Know

Budget-friendly pricing with most items under $10 makes feeding the whole family affordable. Limited seating in a casual counter-service setting means it's perfect for quick family meals rather than lingering.

Seasonal Notes

Open year-round with consistent hours. The cozy interior is perfect for chilly fall and winter mornings when warm biscuits hit the spot.
