Great little spot in Hot Springs. A nice and necessary change of pace from the Homestead, especially for breakfast. Great breakfast croissants and pastries.

My husband and I needed a quick snack before checking into the OMNI homestead and we found this cute place. We both ordered Sandwhiches and they even had Gluten-free bread which was a win for my husband. I got the Fat Pat BLT and my husband got the Cascades Chicken Club and both were amazing! They also have a huge variety of drinks, snacks and chips. Everyone was so friendly!

This place is SOOO YUMMY. The sandwich breads are super fresh bread, the meats and veggies are divine. They have fantastic ice cream and shakes. A friend and I like to have a Girl's Day every now and then and retreat to the Springs, then take in a wonderful lunch here. Last time, I purchased some of their local honey and apple butter. Both are wonderfully made.

We were so happy to find this place! I had the yummiest BLT and the latte was divine. Minutes from the Warm Spring Bath House and the Omni Resort.
