* Hours You had better call --

* Comments of Decor  -- The place has a sweet old cottage-look. When you enter you immediately encounter the bakery -- filled with temptations.  Go to the left, or go to the right and you'll find tables.  On the walls are white-boards with 'specials'. The tables could be a little further apart--but it is not terribly cramped.
* The Food Was -- very good all round -- to start off right we got coffee --it was excellent and strong and it came with real cream in a pitcher. Plus we asked for water and got nice big glasses of ice water.
We ordered the Brie Sausage Scramble (which is presented as and tastes like an omelet). It came with a nice slice of Brie on top--and was filled with fresh vegetables and flavorful chicken sausage. It was served on top of a delicious bread--the flavors combined were clear and present. But a scramble it was not.
Also ordered was the Meurette Benedict (containing Poached Eggs on a Croissant with caramelized onions, mushrooms and bacon) We were told it was outstanding.
Also the table shared an order of Oregon Berry Crepes--which was interesting. The crepes were not thin. They looked like pancakes but they had a strong egg flavor, which was perfect. And there was real whipped cream on top.
* You Ought to Try  ...the menu is rather small--but if what we had is a measure we would recommend exploring the menu. Not that we wouldn't recommend what we had--it was all very good--but the nemu looks like it would be worth exploring.
* The Service Was a little slow but friendly
* * Of special note  ...they also serve lunch
* We will go back? sure--we wan to go deeper into this menu--there may well be gold to be found
