“WOW! What a great find! Great menu. Great food. Super nice staff. Sparkling clean restaurant. Eggs perfectly cooked. Delicious chorizo. House made hot sauce was excellent. I wish this place existed where we live.”
— John Hite“Best Diner in Stamford, CT ! Fast delivery my food came warm and fresh not to mention they have the best pancakes in the world I ate so fast I forgot to take a picture of the food so here’s the results!”
— Terrance Summons“Had an awesome delicious breakfast . And freshly squeezed orange juice was on point .”
— Nancy Cruzado“A true GEM! A proper diner, complete with very tight limited parking (caution!). I didn't expect to find huevos rancheros in a cafe in Connecticut, but there is a large community of Latinos in Stamford and it seemed most appropriate to see their selections on their menu. Black beans and sour cream with channels was spot on. All of the other fixings were very nice, all the plates are served in square which is slightly different than a typical diner, makes it stand out. One of the things I appreciate it most was the bright clean environment that is not typical with a dive or a diner. They used porcelain table tops and countertops for the bar area. That is expensive and will last a long time. The open kitchen and quick service was appreciated. The food was exactly what we went for. The coffee selection was great. Certainly highly recommend this.”
— Jared UraineWe serve both breakfast and lunch with our breakfast menu available all day.

Yes! Our hot sauce is made fresh in-house and is one of our signature items that customers consistently rave about.
