★★★★★ 5.0 Taylor Bird · Jan 2026

My friend and I went to this lovely cafe before our train ride about 2 weeks ago. We went right around opening time and were the first people there. The staff was absolutely lovely and was super welcoming. I am not very good socially and do not often go out to restaurants so I was a bit awkward and unsure of how to proceed upon entering. The staff directed me where to go and immediately provided service and recommendations. I got the half order of French toast for an extremely reasonable price, it was a massive portion and everything was delicious and homemade. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the food, and even the customers who came in later were kind and in good spirits. It seems this restaurant attracts the best kind of people. 10/10 would recommend!

We usually come most Sundays after church. Abbie always waits on us when we come in and she is ready with our order. She has a smile on her face and excellent customer service. The cafe is lucky to have her on their staff. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our first time visiting, it was pretty good. Chicken fried chicken was slightly overcooked but still good, onion rings are delicious, mashed potatoes and gravy were good. We waited a little longer than expected to get the food (they were not busy) but it came out very hot and fresh. Hubby got fried catfish and he liked it. Not much parking in the front but we parked across the street and walked.

First time eating here we had a mix of brunch and lunch items, everything was delicious. Great waitress too, very attentive. Cute lil restaurant on the square with a lot of other stores around.

Wow! Came here because of our son's recommendation. What an amazing place! The vibe feels like an old school diner. Breakfast is served all day, and the menu is quite large. Highly recommend the Three Amigos appetizer (guacamole, salsa & queso with chips) & chicken fried steak / eggs. For dessert, they have a variety of pies, and the ones we had were outstanding as well. As you can see from the pics, the food looked great. Everything tasted so fresh & was full of flavor. If you're around the San Marcos area, do yourself a flavor and visit this place. You won't be disappointed! Parking: we parked around the corner, behind the building, and parking was free.
