Great food with wonderful service.

I’m new to the area and I’ve tried about 10 different places in and around New Bedford looking for the best breakfast spot. This is definitely the top place I’ve been to: excellent food, quick service, great coffee (with constant refills), unbeatable pricing, and good atmosphere. They do a great job with the classic eggs, toast, and potatoes combo. Their raisin toast is 10/10. We’ve tried the pancakes (fluffy & not at all dry) and stuffed French toast- both are amazing. Also, I’ve never seen such a quick moving and efficient staff! Definitely my go to weekend spot.
