Breakfast all day, pie by the slice, and a booth by the window.

Breakfast and lunch only. No dinners and no delivery, but takeout is always welcome.

About us
Lorna and Ben, at the counter since the first pot of coffee
We bought the old corner café in 2014 with a griddle that worked and a pie case that didn’t. Ben runs the line, Lorna runs the pies, and between them they know most of the regulars by their usual.
We keep it simple on purpose. Real butter, hash browns grated by hand, a soup that starts with a stock pot at six, and prices that let a family of four eat breakfast without wincing. We close at three so we can do it again tomorrow.

Questions we hear at the till
Do you deliver?
No. We don’t deliver and we’re not on any delivery app. Takeout is always fine: call ahead and we’ll have it bagged at the counter.
Are you open for dinner?
No, we close at 3 pm every day. Last kitchen orders are at 2:45.
Can I book a table?
We don’t take reservations. For groups of eight or more, call in the morning and we’ll try to push tables together for you.
How far ahead should I order a whole pie?
One day for one or two pies, two days for three or more. Call by 2 pm the day before.
Do you have gluten-free or vegetarian options?
Vegetarian, yes: omelettes, pancakes, perogies, the veggie wrap and most soups. We don’t have a gluten-free kitchen, so we can’t promise anything is free of gluten.
How do I pay for catering?
At pickup, by card or cash. We’ll confirm the total when we call you back about the request.
