| - Adorable little brunch spot in the heart of main street Sharpsburg. It's decorated beautifully with charming garden decor that makes it feel incredibly homey. It is quite small inside (probably only 10 or so tables), so expect a bit of a wait on the weekends (they do turn tables over quickly though).
The food was phenomenal. They had a huge list of specials chock full of seasonal ingredients, as well as a comprehensive regular menu. We each couldn't decide what to get, so we went splitsies -- among the two of us we ordered the peach and brie stuffed french toast, banana Nutella pancakes, and an order of home fries -- and we shared it all. Everything we ate was divine. The french toast was made with thick bread that was cooked just enough to give it a lightly toasted outside while still remaining soft and tender inside. The brie cheese was velvety and mild and nicely complemented the spiced, succulent peaches. Yum x 1000! The banana Nutella pancakes were also heavenly -- soft and tender, spiked with real bananas throughout, and covered with tons and tons of Nutella. It was sweet and sinful and everything a good breakfast should be. And let's not forget the home fries. They consisted of chunks of beautifully seasoned red potatoes that were cooked to perfection so that they had a nice caramelization on top, but remained fluffy and tender inside. We left completely stuffed and satisfied, with motivation to do little else for the rest of the day but nap ;)
Service was fast, friendly, and efficient. Our waiter was very attentive and even offered us a complimentary mimosa while we waited for our food. The owner's father chatted us up while we were waiting in line and after we were seated at our table. He was really friendly and seemed genuinely interested in getting to know us. That really added an adorable element of "mom-n-pop-ness" to this place. I do have to take off a star in this area though, because at one point he yelled a joke to us from across the room that contained an ethnic term that is outdated at best and at worst could have potentially offended someone. I know he wasn't trying to make anyone uncomfortable (I think it's probably a generational issue), but I'm taking off a star just because I think you have to be sensitive to that sort of thing.
Overall though, we had a great meal in a great setting, so we'll definitely be back. This is an awesome alternative to some of the more well-known and overcrowded alternatives in the East End brunch scene.
