“ Incredible food, fast friendly skilled server staff. Pretty piano music. Even on a busy Saturday midday, the wait was only 5 minutes. ”
“ My partner and I finally had the opportunity to check this place out. We arrived around 11:45am and were seated within 10 minutes. The atmosphere is calming and relaxing with live piano music. We ordered the Salmon Lox and the Breakfast Waffle. The food did not disappoint! Everything was well prepared and very delicious. Serving size was just right. We also tried three of their various yummy mimosas. Our server Maddox was attentive and available throughout the meal. We will definitely be returning. ”
“ Phenomenal restaurant! So glad to have a dedicated gluten free spot in Oly. The waffles are incredible, and the vibe is great. Extra thanks to Maddox who made our visit really special and took great care of us! ”
“ I really enjoyed the live piano—relaxing and not too loud, so we could still have a conversation. I ordered the Peach Pie Waffle and it was everything I hoped for: crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and perfectly paired with warm peaches and cold vanilla ice cream. We went on a Sunday at noon and were pleasantly surprised to get a table for two with no wait. Service was friendly and the food came out quickly. Definitely looking forward to coming back! ”
“ Locally owned and operated by people who really care about their patrons. They have carved out a unique dining experience in downtown Olympia with an eclectic menu, live artists painting, family made pottery and art, plus live piano. Someone who knows from experience commented this restaurant could just as easily be in New Orleans. We'll worth a visit. ”
“ Thoroughly enjoyed this little gem downtown! Food, atmosphere, wait staff friendly and helpful, the music was all chefs kiss! I even met the piano player Charlie who was an absolute delight! He even played "my" song Michelle by the Beatles. Such a sweet man. It really made my mother's day time with my daughter a great memorable moment. Thank you! Michele Cotterill ”
“ I have been doing live painting at this establishment. Haven't had a chance yet to try the food but what a great atmosphere! Live piano, a little shop area, games, lots of sunlight. A nice place to while away a leisurely breakfast. ”
