Food was exellent! Very friendly staff, and people. Every bite was good. Great atmosphere, eat inside or outside. Very calm peaceful place. I can't compliment the staff enough. Thank you for the wonderful service. Definitely coming here again.

INCREDIBLE brunch here!! Food and service are both amazing and the atmosphere is so so cute - it's in a little house so it feels very cozy. I would highly recommend the blueberry muffin!!

Don't underestimate this charming little spot! The food and service are excellent. I got the latkes (yum) and my friends raved about the crab cakes benny (real crab) and lox (shown in photo)! They make their own hot sauce which has tons of flavor.

Great breakfast! The place is small so I would recommend making a reservation on their busier days. I see a lot of reviews complaining about service, but when my wife and I visited recently all I saw was hardworking staff doing all they could. I'll definitely be back

I decided to have breakfast with a friend here, specifically because I had never been here before! Loved the homey feel of being there! I was also surprised by how flavorful the food was! I ordered their namesake breakfast meal- that meat sauce was the star of the show for me! Very flavorful, a good punch of spice. The home fries served as a perfect bed for the sauce & the poached eggs! The runny yolk was a nice round-out of the bite! The portion was perfectly in the middle- wasn’t oversized to the point that you’d feel guilty, but also wasn’t small enough to leave something to be desired. Eating this actually made me want to eat more! Love meals like that. I’m definitely interested to go back & try more of their menu!

My aunt took my son and I out to breakfast this morning here and oh my goodness, the crab cake with poached egg and hollandaise sauce breakfast is amazing! I had the same thing last year for my birthday and it was just as amazing today! The service is always impeccable, the food is fantastic, and the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. I would absolutely recommend this place to everyone! If I could give more stars, I absolutely would!

Absolutely loved the food. I’ve been meaning to check out this spot for a while and glad I finally did! I’m pretty picky about breakfast spots and relatively hard to please, but everything me and my family got was incredibly well made (I tried a bit of everything ): crab cake benny, Italian frittata with a blueberry muffin, chocolate chip pancake with sausage. Really good coffee as well. Service was warm and friendly and very timely. Only four stars for atmosphere but that’s because it seemed a little stuffy like it could use a little air circulation. We will be back!

First time dining at 5mile and this quaint cozy breakfast spot was bustling!! Family owned business kept the tables clean and kitchen steadily filling orders - We were seated after 10-15min wait; ordered and very happy with my menu choice- veggie chicken wrap and home-fries. Definitely coming back to sample more menu items!
