When you walk in you look over the menu on the wall it's huge! They basically do everything except for waffles. You order right at the register and seat yourself. When the food is done the server will come out and call out your name. The coffee is self serve at a little coffee stand near the entrance. You must grab your own silverware and condiments at a bookshelf next to the window near entrance. You also need to throw your own plates and trash away as well as everything is on paper plates. This place serves breakfast and lunch it's also a local deli. There is plenty of seating so don't hesitate to bring friends.
