Hands down the best spot for breakfast in the area. Not only is the food always fresh and homemade but the owners are there working side by side with their hardworking and obviously well-cared for staff. It’s the kind of place that makes me feel glad that I spent my money there, so I very often do.Don’t miss it and always tip your servers well. In this case they are some of the best and always deserve it.

Nice place to get some Hungarian food .

The staff were welcoming and accommodating. Very clean cafe. And f course, the best meal ever! The open face omelette was so much a change from a regular omelette. It was very delish! My sister had the eggs benedict. That too was just awesome, as well as our mimosa and Bloody Mary. Will certainly be back again to this delightful little place.

DO NOT GO HERE! Ava or Eva, the manager, is the RUDEST person I have ever met. Worst experience at any restaurant I have ever had. The wait time was reasonable. Our drinks came slowly but that’s fine. They offer sides on their breakfast menu but apparently you cannot order only sides because they have zero clue how to enter that in their system….then why offer them???? My friend was forced to order a full meal when all she wanted was 2 side items (1 egg and hash cakes or whatever they are called). I politely asked to order a to-go order (after our food arrived) and was yelled at by Ava, the manager!!, who says NO TO GO ORDERS! We have to serve all the paying people here first! I replied, I am sitting PAYING right here. You mean I cannot take food home to my husband?! That is asinine!! I get you are busy but I am spending $ while trying to spend more! I witnessed Ava also rip the clipboard out of someone’s hand near the front door because they were putting their name on the wait list and she rudely says that’s for ME to do! If you are not there and there is a table with a clipboard sitting on it….what else do you think is supposed to happen?! They only have like 10 tables in the entire restaurant! My omelet only had 4 small pieced of bacon and they were RAW plus the peppers were under cooked and way too many of them only in a folded flat egg, not really an omelet. If you have gotten this far reading, I promise I am NOT hard to please, it truly was an awful experience. No manager should ever yell at their customers.

The service was incredibly slow, the food took forever, the Caesar salad dressing tasted way too strongly of anchovies and there was barely any of it on the salad anyway. The croutons were good though. My friend asked for roasted potatoes as his side and they were barely cooked, but his toast was burnt. Used to be a much better place to be a much better place to eat but now I would not recommend it.

We just had an amazing breakfast here on our journey back home to SWFL. We were fortunate to have an outdoor table, and it was well shaded from the sun. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. We always try to support local businesses when possible, and we will happily continue to support this establishment. Even though it’s not convenient to I-75, it is well worth the diversion. Enjoy!

This place was amazing!!!! We were here for 4 days and ate here for breakfast and dinner..it didn't disappoint, had something different everytime. Awesome wait staff and owner... will be back again next year.

My omelet was supposed to be bacon, sausage and peppers. I attached the pic of the 4 tiny pieces of RAW bacon and undercooked peppers. I’ll admit the sausage was good…that is it.

Perfect! Best fish and chips! Attentive staff with beautiful outside seating. This is a hidden gem!

Do not let the name fool you. We had an excellent dinner here with a Hungarian flair. The meals were amazing, try the lamb burger. Our server was so sweet and attentive. We were also treated to some great violin music. All in all a lovely time.
