Iconic South Park breakfast spot with great energy. There’s often a live band on the weekend. Whoopi Goldberg worked here as a dishwasher in the 80’s.

Get ready for a huge breakfast or lunch, a blast back to the 70's and hippie style ambiance. The place gets crowded on the weekends, so go early. Hosted by Judy the Beauty on Duty. Walkable. CASH ONLY,

Local eclectic breakfast & lunch spot service hearty fare & coffee with outdoor seating. The big kitchen has such a fun and funky history. Judy (the owner) is the most kind soul there is! The decorations and setting will have you entertained for the entire breakfast! Weekdays are great to get in, weekends however will surely have you waiting a while. My opinion is that it's worth the wait !!

All the neighbors are here and sometimes there is live music on the front patio to entertain the guests. And the very best reason to come of course is Judy.
