The Scene – The cheerful room buzzes with friendly chatter on the weekends. Animation cels from Disney and Warner Bros. hang on the lemon-yellow walls, and sunlight streams in through enormous windows along the front wall. Pancake flavors range from pumpkin to whole wheat, and French toast is covered in corn flakes. Omelettes and scrambles are stuffed with Jody Maroni's sausage and Chili My Soul gourmet chili. Various salads and sandwiches are offered for lunch.

I would go here a lot more if it weren't for the wait. Great patio and even better breaksfast selection! Service is good but not great, but the food will bring you back! Every omelet I have had here is great! Highly recommended!

Great menu variety, good atmosphere, yummy food

My wedding party had lunch here the day after our wedding. We all craved yummy comfort food...omelettes, tuna melts, pancakes...and this was the perfect place. The food was good, and the atmosphere comfy and busy. We did have to wait a while, but we were a party of 12 so we expected that. Great place for casual dining and good food.
- Pros: good food, great location
- Cons: busy

Let the tourists eat here

Am I in an alternative universe? How could such a (at best) medicore place get such great reviews? The only reason I ate my breakfast, was because I was starving. They forgot one essential ingredient: flavor. My boyfriend added salt to his food for the first time in his life...because he was starving too. It's edible at best. Nothing special. Nothing to rave about. And definitely nothing to wait in the very loooonnnng line for.
- Pros: Close to home
- Cons: Food
