I had my first breakfast here this weekend in this cute little spot.  There was ample, comfortable seating, a very friendly staff, and a very tasty and well-priced meal.  The roasted potatoes and omelette were delicious.  My husband was so not into having to share those.  Next time we'll have to order our own.  The seasoning really made the potatoes pop and the eggs tasted so fresh.  The pankcakes were not my favorite but it wasn't bad....I'm very picky about my pancakes.  I can't wait to try them for lunch/dinner and we will be back for breakfast!

I really tried to like this place but have been turned off several times by bad service, mediocre drinks, horrible portion sizes, and bad/rude management.  I've been for brunch, happy hour, late night drinks....I really tried.  I also thought maybe the issue was growing pains but....NO.  They get over because there is not much else in the area if you don't know any better.  However, thanks to Yelp....I DO KNOW BETTER!

CLOSED!!!!!  

I didn't eat breakfast today in anticipation of the great meal that I was going to throw down on at lunch at Last Legg with a friend.  It is closed, man!  Very sad to see this place go.  Great customer service and excellent food....it will be sorely missed!

The Man and I paid a visit on Saturday and are quite impressed.  We enjoyed a pain au chocolat and peanut butter cookie.  The interior space is compact but dopely-designed and customer service is top notch.    We can't wait to go back and check out the back yard (should be done soon/already?) and we're not really coffee shop people.  Great addition to Fulton!

I am biased but anytime I see a toddler playing a violin, I have to give props!  Definitely a place that will grow your child from toddler age through elementary school in the most thoughtful, creative, and positive way...

Before we were Mr and Mrs, we came here for an after dinner bottle of wine (got a great recommendation from staff on what to get) and so we didn't have to leave each other's company so soon and could stare into each other's eyes over candlelight...LOL.  Cute space great for a date- nice vibe, not too loud so you can hear each other, just small enough so you can reach over and touch each other's arm and other goofy stuff we do on dates to show our interest.    I wish it stayed open later though.  We tried to come back recently to relive some of our pre-bethrothed dating fun but they were closing fairly early in the evening for a wknd night.

Came in late night for drinks and snacks with a group of four.  It's a very beautiful space with a good bar scene. The service was great even though the place was pretty crowded.  The drinks were very good though a bit small (Pear Sangria and #6) and we had a few rolls that hit that spot.   It's a great place to stop in for a throw back a few and grab a bite.

Good enough for watching the game or for drinks but the food is not good.  The best thing is the fries.  The service is good and depending on your bartender, so are the drinks.

Found this place thanks to Google and decided to stop thanks to Yelp.

Great selection and beautiful arrangements that are fairly priced. Very convenient on your way to or back from NJ.  My grandmother is still talking about how pretty her roses were.  It's small but it's definitely worth a visit.

As the auntie of two wonderful teenage nephews, I have spent alot of time at alot of GameStops.  And since I got my own console, I have spent even more time there than ever.  Most of my times in the past have not always been pleasant.  But hey, they probably think I'm coming in there to get Donkey Kong and Legend of Zelda when they'd rather talk about the time they waited in line for Black Halo and Red Dead Redemption.  They're right by the way.  

Anyway, I usually do my shopping in NJ because I feel like I get way better customer service for less tax and free parking but strolling along Fulton trying to get back to our car, me and The Betrothed stopped in at GameStop for some odd reason.  We were greeted pleasantly at the door and from that moment on even though we were hemming and hawing about what game to get and asking a million questions, the staff there was great.  Everyone was both knowledgeable and friendly, even though the store was busy.    I'll be back again and again and I might not even complain about the parking.  It's now my preferred GameStop.
