The Biscuit and Gravy

The biscuits were perfection. They are tender and full of flavor and so reminiscent of what I used to have when I was younger. If I’m going to indulge in something heavier and something cooked, then I wanted it to be something wonderfully satisfying and this was. I added the chik’n patty, which seemed to be made in house and was delicious.

Excellent Breakfast

They declare their waffles of the best and I have to say they were pretty darn good. Soft and slightly sweetened with fruit. I had the Scrambled. Very satisfied!! #Veganuary

Great food, better staff

Walked into an amazing vibe, and even better service. Took time to explain everything and make suggestions. The food was delicious, and the drinks were great. Loved that I found a vegan coquito in the middle of Virginia.

Sweet & savory vegan waffles🧇

Awesome food and fun vibe. My (omnivore) friend and I split the apple cinnamon and TTLA waffles and both thought they were delicious. Also got a coffee, and a smoothie for the road, and enjoyed those too. Staff/service was also great. Absolutely worth the stop and would go again!

LOVE this place!!!

My partner and I have been here three times and have had a great experience every time! The staff is always friendly and helpful and the food is amazing!!! So far we’ve tried the “BREKKIE BURRITO”, “BUFFALO CHIK'N WRAP”, “CHIK'N SALAD SANDWICH” (made into a wrap), “TTLA” and the “DREAMSICLE” and “GREEN GODDESS” smoothies. Definitely one of our favorite spots!!!

Pros: Delicious food, Friendly staff, Cozy atmosphere

So good!

We ordered a latte, a sweet waffle, chik’n biscuit with hash browns and the power toast. It was all DELICIOUS! The owner was so kind, friendly and accommodating. They have some awesome hand made products for sale as well, we purchased a knit frog for our son that is so adorable and well made. We will be going back tomorrow!!

Pros: All Vegan, Awesome food!, Friendly and welcoming atmosphere

Great Food

My daughter and I were in town for a concert and stopped in for an early lunch. She had the buffalo chicken wrap and breakfast potatoes and I had the chicken biscuit with cheese. The food was delicious, it's obvious the ingredients are fresh and the biscuits are made from scratch.
The cafe itself is small with a cute inviting vibe. I would definitely return if in the area again.

Pros: Food, Staff

Saturdays with my grandson

Grandson and I come here for the FRENCH TOAST every Saturday after his gymnastics class. I really enjoy watching him zip around the gym but I LOVE the enthusiasm with which he devours his brunch at CLTRE the french toast is his (and my) favorite but chicken and waffles are equal stars. Great selection of juices and goodies. Everyone there is efficient and friendly, and there's outdoor seating.

Pros: Food, Atmosphere, Staff

Good vibes & great food in a clean, comfy setting

So glad that we found this place!! I only wish that I was going to be in the area longer so that I could try more of their menu items, but what we did try, we both loved (& my daughter is not a vegan, but still loved it).
Definitely recommend going here!

Pros: Deliciously satisfying breakfast, Inviting atmosphere/friendly staff, Reasonably priced

Cons: Was challenging to locate

Worth the drive from the beach

Staying at the beach on 21st, so it’s about 15 or 20 minutes away if you’re staying at the beach but but it’s well worth The drive. Tons of savory breakfast comfort food like waffles and French toast. They have great smoothies. Really nice and inviting atmosphere. Seating is pretty limited so I would imagine it can get pretty busy during brunch.
