Found this cute little spot driving by. Breakfast was delicious! I got the western omelette with sausage and it was yummy. Coffee was great, too. The menu wasn't overwhelming, but enough options for everybody. The owner was super sweet and welcoming. I would 10/10 recommend this place, and will come back.
We got to meet Shelly and she is very friendly and outgoing. The food is great. Fresh and made to order. Definitely recommend!
Shelly (Assuming the owner) who served us was very nice and food was tasty, with a cute interior, so I can see why it’s highly rated. The menu though didn’t have a few items we’d expect like a Benedicts or hash browns or biscuits with gravy. + shrimp omlette was yum ~ create your own omlette was good too with bacon but should have asked for bacon as a side instead + Both came with yum fries / home fried potatoes & yum breads (rye/ English muffin) with salted butter ~ coffee was strong
Shelly's is our go-to spot now. From the first visit we were hooked! I'm not a pancake person usually for breakfast but I dream about these pancakes every single weekend. They are perfectly soft in the middle, crisp on the edge, and not too sweet. My MIL who is a FIEND for pancakes loves them too! My wife always gets the chicken and pancakes and it's always consistently delicious. Also, if you are like me and pine for the days of Sweet Tomatoes, come here and get the strawberry lemonade!! It will speak to your soul! Prices are super reasonable and we don't normally have to wait unless you get there in the early morning on the weekend. But they have quick turnaround so even if we do have to wait, it's not long and it's VERY worth it.
Such a hidden gem. This breakfast place is the best! The service is super friendly and welcoming. When you come inside, the atmosphere feels warm and cozy. We ordered 3 Eggs Combo, Tampa Omelet, and Ham and Cheese Omelet. The egg is perfectly made sunny side up. The toast is super crunchy and perfect with the eggs. The Tampa Omelet is delicious with tons of toppings. The breakfast is very simple, but super delicious! Their home fries are super crunchy and perfect seasoning. And their strawberry lemonade is THE BEST! Such a wonderful diner and highly recommend everyone to come here!
