"This place was absolutely amazing! From the fresh food to the friendly atmosphere, it was a treat for the whole family."

"This has to be by far one of THE BEST breakfast croissants I’ve ever had!!!! The croissant itself was fresh, fluffy, flavorful and perfectly cooked. The egg was clearly local, fresh cooked eggs…amazingly delicious! The bacon was cooked perfectly and so flavorful!! My husband got the chicken sandwich and had some delicious tenders on it! Just amazing!! The whole thing came together to perfection! The hand-cut fries were incredible as well! Staff super nice and helpful as well!"

"I couldn’t recommend this place more! What a fun ambience, inviting atmosphere, and super friendly and funny and helpful staff! Their menu is incredible, and after enjoying our delicious breakfast, I wish I could stay here a week to try a new breakfast and lunch every day! Prices are reasonable for this day and age, especially for the quality and amount you get. They have so many options, including Açaí breakfast bowls of delicious fresh fruit (peanut butter addition is a fun twist!), locally sourced meat for the proteins, delicious and airy fresh baked bread & pastries, wonderful in-house coffee blends, local kombucha and a variety of fresh teas, and we didn’t even get to try their lunch menu, which looks insane! We truly couldn’t recommend this delightful café more, a reason alone to detour into Franklin. If you appreciate quality food and quality people, you will not regret it!"

"We came just after they served breakfast and just before they started serving lunch. Some of their items are all-day breakfast, but I got a lunch item and my boyfriend got a breakfast item. The person at the register was very nice in explaining it to us, and ordering the food was easy. What I did not enjoy was that the meal ended up being almost $20 just for me, on top of the credit card surcharge and tip. The food itself was good, I got the chicken tender basket with the hand cut fries, and a side of ranch. The ranch was good, and the chicken tenders were crispy and hot. The fries were also crispy. The food was good, but it was not the best I’ve had for that price point, and for that reason, I’m not sure I’d come back."

"Wow so glad I picked this place. I didn't want the chain restaurant (IHOP, Huddle House, waffle house etc) and I started googling for breakfast cafe in the area before we headed back home from the mountain.. This place is a must visit. The staffs are friendly. You ordered 1st before seating, they will bring your food to your table. Menu selection wasn't overwhelming and the food was so delicious. The setting for the restaurant is nice and cozy. I can't wait to come and try their lunch menu. I highly recommend this place."
