This cafe keeps it simple but amazing by serving biscuits with local soy free and gmo free eggs and chicken (Grove Ladder Farm), organic vegetable sides, Banner Butter (which is some of the best butter I've tasted), and Benton's Bacon which uses traditional smoking methods. Everything is made from scratch. It's basic food but carefully sourced and extremely tasty. Please ask where their eggs are sourced when you visit bc I have learned that it varies.
