Delicious crepes, hash browns, and homemade hot sauce. They only take cash, but they have an atm. Very nice people, and a nice alternative to typical boring breakfast fare. They always have some interesting specials, too. We even took an order of fruit crepes to go, as a snack for later !

Went here for breakfast with my family after reading great reviews on yelp. It's a small place with outside seating only, decorated in way that let's you know they don't mind having fun. Relaxing music plays and you get a good laid back vibe from the staff. However, maybe a little more attention to detail and type-a is needed around there...Our server was really brief with us as if she had something else to do (surely they were busy, but when I get "ok, so you saw the specials on the board outside? Ok great" it doesn't sit well). She did have time, however, to upsell my kid on a $4 side order of bacon (which never came out.) But back to the whole brevity thing - I asked about the sizzler, which I was looking forward to eating ("what toppings/ingredients can I order in a sizzler?") She pointed at the pancakes section of the menu and said anything there - so I ordered - and we waited...It wasn't terribly long but long enough - my plate was the last to come out and it wasn't a sizzler but it was 2 pancakes with the toppings I asked for. Being we waited for a while and just wanted to eat I didn't send it back. The pancakes we're delicious as were the other meals my family ordered. I'm only let down because I was expecting something really great and got good food but not so great service.Also, maybe it was just a bad day but there were a lot of flies
3. Pelican's Snowballs
Reviewed By LBIblonde1
This place just opened this summer and quickly became my families favorite stop. These snow cones are the best!!! They have several flavors and even some strange flavors like pickle and toothpaste which I still havenât been brave enough to try! The consistency is amazing they have a cotton candy flavor and that is the only thing I can explain to describe this ice because it melts in your mouth like eating real cotton candy but a cold treat! Prices are very reasonable. My absolute favorite is root beer with them adding a cream to it. The best part is the calories, are I think they told me 230 calories for a regular size. The people that run this are very pleasant and even had a dog treat for the dog. My son needless to say actually went there 7 times while we were down for only 3 days so that he could try more flavors. I talked with the people there and they make their own flavors! Awesome!!!

Açaà bowls, avacado toast, smoothies..sandwiches... the list goes on. Freshly made and Oh. So. Good. Busy but friendly service. You order at counter and either take out or hang out there in a really nice seating set up.
