So much packed into this special little place. But don’t let the size fool you, there’s an adjacent parking lot to start, and if the tables inside fill, there’s a nice back porch with more. Our food was delicious (both breakfast and lunch options). Everything is locally sourced, and the service is super friendly making it extra special.

My wife and daughter came here on a Sunday morning, which was perfect. We sat on the back deck, and it was a great atmosphere. It felt like sitting on your back deck having a cup of coffee. We each ordered something different. I got the hash, and everything was cooked perfectly. The flavor was bold but not overpowering. Our daughter got the soup of the day and the loaded potatoes. She said both dishes were flavorful and that she enjoyed them very much. My wife got the biscuits and gravy with chorizo sausage. She was initially nervous, but once she took her first bite, all doubt was erased. We also split an order of French Toast. The outside had a slight crunch, and the inside was extremely soft—it almost melted in your mouth. This being our first time here, we wanted to try as much as possible, and we were very pleased with every dish. They also don’t skimp on the portions. You definitely get your money's worth here. 10/10 I highly recommend.

This place looks like cute little home turned into a restaurant. The chorizo biscuits and gravy was good! It came out hot with plenty of gravy. My husband has the meat quiche special. I had their iced coffee with their specialty creamer. The iced coffee was okay buy enjoyable enough. The cherry Danish was super good. Everyone was really nice and we really enjoyed ourselves.

My daughter and I enjoyed a nice breakfast on Saturday. Lovely coffee and tea options. We shared a savory quiche and breakfast quesadilla. When finished, we tried the cheese and cherry danish. Topped it off with an expresso and cappuccino. Will definitely return to try out the lox benny and pop back in to try out their lunch sometime soon as well. Highly recommend this niche cafe.

What a gem I’ve finally discovered! Delicious food and drink. Hello best quiche and fresh greens with homemade lemon dressing that is unusual and refreshing! Iced tea is terrific and the people who work here are genuinely nice!!

Tam's is a small, operated restaurant that serves delicious breakfast and lunch food as well as sweet treats. It is located in an older house that has been turned into a cafe. Tam's serves coffee and teas as well as sodas to drink. I've tried a few things from Tam's including the Loaded Potatoes and most recently, the Norris Hash. The hash has potatoes, sausage, spinach, fresh tomatoes, onions, green peppers, 2 eggs and toast. It was on the Sunday specials menu and was well worth it as it sold out as I was leaving around 11:20am. The staff is always accommodating and hospitable. Every time I've visited the staff always makes sure I have all I need while I am there. Nancy, the cook is a wizard in the kitchen while cooking with a conventional oven and more standard home kitchen appliances. The best I can describe the experience is like when you go to your mom's house for lunch or breakfast, and you get that warm reception and care. I highly recommend eating here to anyone that wants a small-town restaurant experience where smaller details are taken care of.

Cozy breakfast and brunch spot for 1-4 person parties. My family and I have been going to Tam's once or twice a month for almost two years and never had a bad meal. Great coffee, very friendly staff, and their takeout baked goods are fantastic.
