Breakfast is the heart of the experience here. The aromas of sizzling bacon, fried potatoes, and fresh coffee linger in the air, inviting you to linger over plates that feel like familiar classics with a touch of kindness — the kind of meals that taste like a shared moment, whether it’s a bacon cheeseburger piled high or a hearty omelet served with a side of down-home charm.
