Customer Reviews

Talk about a gem! Love this place for breakfast. Owners and staff are great, as is the food. If you're in the area, this is the place to eat. Bonus that they have a bunch of cool coffee cups from all over the world. Edit: Just had breakfast there this morning (22 March 2025). This place is still phenomenal. P.S. it was Flora's birthday. Happy birthday Flora!

FANTASTIC SERVICE, with great food. If your looking for a new breakfast location , you need to try this cute little cafe. Just a few miles NE of Clarksville. Country fried steak breakfast and the All American Breakfast was great. Will definitely be back.

We live close by in Clarksville and decided to try this place. It's a small town diner with excellent home town food. The staff is extremely kind and made you feel at home. We thoroughly enjoyed this place. It's worth the little drive and we will be back again...

Stepping into this lovely little joint was like stepping into a family friend's kitchen! Instantly we felt so welcome, the staff was sweet, kind and attentive and though we were out of towners it was if we were part of the community as well. Our waitress was so warm and sweet, she felt like an old family friend! The food was fabulous, classic comfort food that tasted as if it was homemade with love. This is definitely a local joint for sure, but I'd eat here every day of the week if I could! I hope I can come back soon!
