This was my first time eating at this restaurant. I ordered the Rachel Ruben half sandwich. I got my order to go when I took it outside to open it to share with my family. I didn’t know it was a warm sandwich. (I was thinking it was cold) the sandwich was DELICIOUS. Super elevated and amazing. I had Java chip frappe and I enjoy it too. Added new picture of one I got with no coleslaw.

We visited for lunch on a Saturday. The cashier was very helpful with the menu and describing what they had to offer. All of the staff was helpful! Their bathrooms were clean. We enjoyed the tomato bisque soup and pimiento cheese grilled sandwich. It was very delicious. They first brought out a regular grilled cheese but when we pointed out the mistake we were quickly provided with the correct sandwich. They have a lot on their menu I look forward to trying! Once you eat you can proceed to the marketplace and browse everything on offer. Lots of antiques and some new items. The staff is very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a conversation with the cashier where he inquired about who we were and why we were visiting. Will be going back again!

What a great place. The marketplace blew me away when I found quite a few things I bought, and the aroma of that food throughout then getting to sit and play some checkers before enjoying some mouth watering breakfast at the cafe. All you travelers I would put this place on the list of must stop.

I ordered the “Virginia Main St” half sandwich and was lucky enough to happen to be there when they were making their twice baked potatoes from 12-2 PM. Everything was delicious! Great environment as well, there’s a cafe side if you like a little hustle and bustle and then there’s the antique side where they have some seating as well and it’s a little more quiet over there. They also have checkers built into some of the tables. Over all really cool environment, great food, and solid service. Bonus points for having a guest WiFi network if you’re needing to get some work done while you enjoy your food!

My daughter went and had lunch here on Saturday. It was busy but staff was extremely productive so you didn’t even notice the amount of people. We were also pleased that they had a singer playing her guitar for us. It was very nice. I would definitely recommend this place. They never disappoint.

Stopped in this morning and got a skinny mocha and some homemade Mac and cheese. Gotta say it was probably some of the best I've ever had. The Mac was just like my grandma used to make. Will definitely be a returning customer. The staff was also super nice and friendly. The atmosphere was vibing just right.

Five Star Rating all around. This place is wonderful. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff and service are excellent. I've been here multiple times now and never have been disappointed. The marketplace was full of interesting items and is an added bonus during your visit here!

Grabbed breakfast on our way to Grayson and had a great experience. Cold brew & smoothie were both tasty, and our breakfast sandwiches hit the spot. (Really like the bee keepers toast!) Lovely service, too
