What People Are Saying
from Google"Such a cute place! Love the laid back atmosphere! It’s a bit of a self service restaurant in that you order first, choose a table, grab your own utensils, sauces (ketchup, jam, etc), and water. They give you a number to bring with you to your table and they will bring out your food. If you order any drinks they will make it and call out the drink order for you to pick up. Their menu is fairly large and has a very unique variety. If we lived closer this would definitely become one of our go to spots!"

"The food was awesome super clean tasting didn’t feel like it was deep fried, which was nice. Coffee was good lots of potatoes in my dish and not enough meat however, overall this place is really good"
"We had a wonderful experience today! We brought our two little girls with and the servers were amazing today on 9/30/25. I also tried the maple blueberry cold foam which was amazing and the gluten free pancakes were great! The atmosphere was great and kid friendly for sure. My husband is dairy free and I’m gluten free so it can be hard to find everything all in one. Such a cute stop on our trip through Eau Claire."
