I love, love, love this place. The staff is so friendly and accommodating. The decor and atmosphere are lovely. The food is delicious! This is my new favorite place. The crab cakes are really good. So is the tomato basil soup. Everyone in my party thoroughly enjoyed their food.

Amazing place with great customer service! We drove all the way from Irving and would definitely come back again! Everyone from the hostess, to our waiter were friendly. The food was delicious. My boyfriend got the short rib Benedict, I got the grilled cheese lobster soup and we shared the lemon ricotta pancakes (amazing). Everything was delicious – the pancakes were so fluffy. The hazelnut caramel latte was so delicious too.

This place is a must visit when I’m in DFW! It’s tucked away in Rockwall, which is such a cute area. Their specialty coffee and pastries are so good. Definitely stay for lunch or dinner- their specials always hit, and I love that the cocktails are inspired by books. So good and such a unique vibe!

Cutest restaurant & bookstore in Rockwall! Stop by the front-end coffee shop with yummy pastries, read a book in between or dine in the rear area. The food was delicious & and the service was great. We got a kick out of the secret bookshelf doors that led to the restrooms. We loved it. Can’t say enough of this place. We’ll be coming back soon.
