Maybe it’s about the carafe of steaming hot coffee that magically appears on every table, moments after taking a seat. Or maybe the loyal first-name-basis staff. Or those ginormous plate-sized blueberry pancakes (they come in pairs?!?). It’s all of the above, really. Your friends have breakfast here. Your friends’ families have breakfast here. And your colleagues, neighbors, physicians, accountant, therapist, et al. It’s like mom’s kitchen, without the clean-up. Yep, that’s what it’s about here: staples, comfort food and family.
