    It was very quaint. I love the decor. The lighting peeked through the glass ceiling we were in a part garage part book store part restaurant. I could relax and enjoy the tranquility. It was really nice. After we ate we studied. The food was fresh and yummy. I had the Kramers breakfast pretty simple yet satisfying. My sis had the French toast and Ally was our server. He was also lovely. The French toast was wonderful decadent but wonderful. We are going to set up a Bo weekly study session we enjoyed everything so much. I recommend trying it at least once. They also have outdoor seating.
