We went here for lunch and the food was very good! I got the goetta grinder and it was delicious ?Also, try the salmon BLT. My daughter in law said it was very good. The service was great and the atmosphere was really cute. Give this place at try because it's worth it. They stay open until 2pm though.

This was our #1 Friday dinner spot for years and remains our favorite breakfast/brunch hangout. We’ve brought friends from out of town and they’ve left as fans. Service isn’t lightning quick, but considering the trouble they have finding help, very well done. Try a frittata or the goetta grilled cheese and you’ll leave a fan. The Reuben or spicy Italian are great for lunch.

A few years ago a family member got their French toast and I remember thinking that I needed to come back and get it as I had a bite and it was fantastic. I kind of forgot and every once in while when we were looking for a breakfast place i would think of Mokka…..well on St Patrick’s Day we were headed to molly Maloney for corned beef and fish. Originally we were going to The Pub in crest view as that is where we had gone last year and had a wonderful experience. My partner is Italian but I am part Irish and he wanted some authentic Irish food and atmosphere for me (i really wanted the fish at the pub lol—communication is golden) . Anyway, it was a two hour wait with a 10$ cover charge because they were having a huge party— if i was still drinking we would have definitely stayed at molly Maloney but I don’t :(It looked like a fun party though….. and we had kids to pick up later. Anyway, instead of driving over to the pub in crest view, we drove right by here and I thought at least we could have some awesome French toast. So we stopped. They had at patty’s day options…… so we ordered them… though i wish we had stuck with French toast..Fish was as it looked- not great… fries were ok- presentation was awful- plastic wear for a 60$ meal…. His sandwich was not enjoyable for him but he wouldn’t say much else as he felt bad for taking us there.If you are going- stick with breakfast.

The server's here are great! Really love my food. Order the gravy train and I was worried because I forgot to ask for my geotta well done, but it came out really crispy, just the way I like it.

Absolutely exquisite lunch here especially for a business meeting. Phenomenal Blackened Talapia on Rye. Yummy.

Food was fine. Hot chocolate was gross. Sugar bomb. The food was served on paper plates and plastic utensil packets, complete with salt and pepper packets, were provided. That's enough to keep me from going back.

For ~$25/person I expect more than paper plates & plastic silverware.Food was good, not spectacular.Servers were doing their best, but could have used another person or 2.

False advertising with pricing, said it would be 15 minutes but took 35 minutes, and toast was burnt!! I was really looking forward to trying something new.(update, we went back to see if we could get a new batch but the owner told us it was just “caramelized” I tasted it and could literally taste the burnt taste of it, so we asked another customer for their opinion and she agreed that it was burnt then the owner interrupted and said that it’s her restaurant, she was being rude and they were not very professional at all!!! Then after that she said she could remake the toast but it would be the same so basically burnt! She told us that the toast was supposed to be like that so burnt. So we ended up just getting a refund, I was very disappointed.

Food was really good and staff was very friendly. Inviting atmosphere, would go back.

Food was delicious.. long wait but it's expect during this time and day.. once seated (took about an hour), was greeted and served quickly, eating within 15 minutes.. hit food and smiling faces
