Potato pancakes, fresh squeezed OJ, and the best scrambled eggs in town. Nobody does it better. Other menu standouts include the German Pancake and the Mushroom Omelette. Never change OPH!

Cash only and might be considered a bit pricey. But for the quality and taste, it's more than worth it! Delicious all the way around.

The flagship of the chain, it is in fact a converted house, so nice ambience. Weekdays aren't as crowded. The apple pancakes are to die for, but come hungry...

Excellent food...and amazing coffee. Be prepared to wait a few minutes, but the service is excellent, and they don't rush you out the door to get another party in.

The fruit waffle was amazing 👍🏻 you should try it but dont put too much of the tropical sauce

On the right is what comes with your coffee: cream, like a shot of cholesterol. Ask nicely and waitress Anna will bring you a lil' pitcher of nonfat milk.

Amazing pancakes, good bacon & eggs. Fresh orange juice was really good also.

It is a place all should go. Get there early or prepare to wait. Worth every minute. Bring cash.

Best sausage links I've ever had. And I'm kinda fat, so I know what I'm talking about with breakfast meats.

The bacon waffle though... Nice crisp, and absolutely delectable.

You have to have the Apple pancake or the Dutch Baby. They are both amazing. Also the bacon is thick cut and cooked perfectly.

I wish I would have gotten the waitresses name that served, or should I say lack of service. She was spending all her time at one table and the other four she was serving paid for their service.

Love! Best breakfast you can get period!

This place is small so go at an off time or get comfy waiting.

First off, only 1 star works here, and he was cooking AND bussing tables! He got all of our $15 tip. The food was subpar at best. And CASH ONLY?!? With a receipt that did not itemize?!?!?! Crooks.

The coffee is lovely. They do carry Splenda -- just ask!
