Love a place that cares about what they are creating. The gluten free blueberry French toast was soooooo spot on. Bacon and poached egg cooked perfectly. The server, Jaimie, was excellent, attentive and warm. A nicely done cafe in a historic building and a welcoming vibe. Would go out of my way to go back in the food-desert of Wyoming. They have something good going here. PS, would love to see local honey used. PPS, the fresh squeezed orange juice is a treat!
A delightful breakfast stop in Lander Wyoming. When we first arrived, it looked as if it might rain, but we were urged to sit in their lovely outdoor eating area with promises of fitting us inside of it began to pour. It didn’t and we had a lovely spot near a fork in the stream. So many unique choices on the menu. We had a chorizo skillet and beignets. The beignets were lightly scented with nutmeg spice which made a totally different and delicious experience from typical New Orleans style Beignets. The chorizo skillet with fried jalapeños was delicious. The only criticism we could find was the potatoes in the skillet were cut so large that the potato stole a lot of the flavor from the rest of the dish. (Still delicious!) over medium egg cooked perfectly. The next time we are in Lander we will definitely be going again. Our server was polite and attentive, almost seeing what we needed before we did. Delicious breakfast and charming atmosphere.
This is a scratch kitchen and it shows. If you like biscuits and gravy, you have to try it here! Everything tasted amazing and the staff were very friendly, although busy.
Food was really good! The portion could of been a bit bigger but overall was good. Jessica, our server was fantastic and gave great quality service with a smile, and we'll be back!
