Review: The Big Breakfast & Salted Caramel Frappe If you're looking to start your day with a satisfying, hearty meal, The Big Breakfast hits all the right notes. Served on toasted sourdough, the plate comes stacked with grilled bacon, sautéed mushrooms, a generous hash brown, sausage, grilled tomato, spinach, and eggs cooked to your liking. The bacon is crispy and flavorful without being overly salty, and the mushrooms add a nice earthy contrast. The hash brown is golden and crunchy outside, fluffy inside—just how it should be. This dish is well-portioned and leaves you feeling full without going overboard. It’s the kind of breakfast that sets the tone for a great day. To complement the meal, the Salted Caramel Frappe is a dessert in a cup. Rich, creamy, and indulgently sweet, this frappe balances the buttery taste of caramel with just the right hint of salt to cut through the richness. It's topped with whipped cream and drizzled with caramel sauce, making it a treat for anyone with a sweet tooth. Served ice-cold, it's refreshing and satisfying, especially on a warm day. Verdict: The Big Breakfast – A solid, delicious classic that delivers on taste and variety. Salted Caramel Frappe – Sweet, indulgent, and perfect as a breakfast dessert or a stand-alone treat.

Pleasant enough, coffee was reasonable and food was enjoyable, atmosphere is a bit mechanical and stale but not bad just not good either.
