Absolutely (to use) over the moon awesome, never had anything close except on trips to NOLA. NOT your average breakfast cafe. We had FRESH crab meat omelets, nearly a whole fresh avocado on top, authentic New Orleans beignets, exceptional coffee (not left on a warmer to get bitter), and so on. Cheap meal, no way, worth it, OH SO MUCH. Now that it has become a chain restaurant, I have noticed it is nothing like we experienced in Charleston. We eat there about every couple months (winter park village) when we make our Whole foods, Costco, Trader Joe's runs all in the same day. Food is still above average, but... definitely NOT the same as it once was. Will "hope" (lol, probably foolish "hope") the villages location will have outstanding food very worth the price, but .... kind of thinking, probably not !
