A wonderful experience!! I came in the other day with my friend and the food was OUTSTANDING!! The darkhaired waitress with the leg tattoo was super nice and helpful with our questions, even though she clearly had a lot of tables! The managers are also super sweet as well!!

A delightful breakfast stop in Lander Wyoming. When we first arrived, it looked as if it might rain, but we were urged to sit in their lovely outdoor eating area with promises of fitting us inside of it began to pour. It didn’t and we had a lovely spot near a fork in the stream. So many unique choices on the menu. We had a chorizo skillet and beignets. The beignets were lightly scented with nutmeg spice which made a totally different and delicious experience from typical New Orleans style Beignets. The chorizo skillet with fried jalapenos was delicious. The only criticism we could find was the potatoes in the skillet were cut so large that the potato stole a lot of the flavor from the rest of the dish. (Still delicious!) over medium egg cooked perfectly. The next time we are in Lander we will definitely be going again. Our server was polite and attentive, almost seeing what we needed before we did. Delicious breakfast and charming atmosphere.

I was in Lander over this past weekend. I always have the country fried steak. I love how you bread it with corn flakes? I especially love the spinach!! It's to die for, I always get extra. There's only one thing, I'm surprised the steak doesn't come with eggs? But that's ok, it's still the best. My last meal there was the pancake breakfast, thought I'd try something different. It was still the best!! I'm from Cheyenne and was in Lander visiting a friend.

(Plant-Based reviewer) This place is so good! I had the miso salad and it was AMAZING! They also have vegan avocado toast and a veggie sandwich that looks really good. I finished with an oatmilk latte which was very good. Outdoor seating area is next to a beautiful small stream. Highly recommend this spot.

They have a really pleasant outdoor section with a little creek running through. I tried the shakshuka. It was so good I went back the following day for the eggs Benedict. Excellent! Great service, too!

What a completely delightful breakfast. Everything was amazing. Eggs to Order, Quinoa Power Bowl were so tasty. Splitting a half order of lemon blueberry French toast was the cherry on top. Cassie was a joy to talk with and kept the coffee filled and hot. If you get the chance to visit this little gem, I highly suggest you do so. Next time we come to town, we will definitely be back.

Love a place that cares about what they are creating. The gluten free blueberry French toast was soooooo spot on. Bacon and poached egg cooked perfectly. The server, Jaimie, was excellent, attentive and warm. A nicely done cafe in a historic building and a welcoming vibe. Would go out of my way to go back in the food-desert of Wyoming. They have something good going here. PS, would love to see local honey used. PPS, the fresh squeezed orange juice is a treat!

Great food, locally sourced, paired with great service—all located in an old downtown building. The chorizo/sweet potato hash was awesome!
