    Oatmeal pancakes! The second day, I brought hersheys chocolate bar along with me and melted in inside the pancakes, the result was incredible!

    Go sit outside in the sun and enjoy the pretty green garden with its little fountain and the cute houses around. I'd go for the famous oatmeal pancakes with cinnamon apples - the best I've ever had!!

    You must try the Martha's Famouse Swedish pancake. Hands down the best unique pancakes you will try it eat. Try either the warm cinnamon apple or the lindonberries jam. With Cinnamon tea. Perfect.

    I am not a big breakfast person but this place can definitely change my opinion - even though I think it just spoiled me! Very good food and service with an old-time feel!

    Their Swedish Oatmeal Pancakes are the perfect combination of hearty texture and delicious taste. Toss on some fresh fruit (I'm a fan of bananas), and I am in heaven.

    Solid breakfast spot in a cute old house. Sit outside in the garden if you can. And bring your pup.

    This place is super cozy, especially when it's cold and rainy. Great jazz quietly playing on the radio and .. Oh yeah. Amazing food.

    Tried their French toast and coffee. Both were ordinary. The raisins in the bread didn’t work for me.

    Their cappuccinos vary quite a bit in terms of frothiness.

    The "fresh squeezed orange juice" is NOT fresh squeezed. It's Odwalla.

    Be prepared to wait quite a while after seating. There are no lines to sit, but apparently they accept more than they can handle.
