Very cute but small place, so plan accordingly. There is some outdoor seating available for smaller parties. I was part of a group of six, and although there's not much space, the staff was extremely accommodating and made it work for us inside within a timely manner! They have such an extensive menu with food and drink options. The food for us took a little bit longer to prepare, but that's to be expected. Great staff and food overall!
Came in on a Saturday. Enjoyed quick service. Enjoyed my latte. Solidly good food. Was happy they had gluten free bread I could substitute in my sandwich. I love eggs Benedict and planned to enjoy that, but I thought the server said no substitutions in an eggs Benedict and I didn’t want any of the different varieties they offer on a traditional Eggs Benedict.
I already feel more intelligent. I enjoy the French toast Einstein style requested eggs over medium and bacon. Well done. Everything came as requested. Good combination Friends at the table enjoyed the homemade biscuits. Eggs benedict and homemade potatoes. Sweet attentive waitress fast service. Good food recommend
Had the Newton French Toast. Absolutely amazing. It was so good and I don’t usually have French Toast at restaurants it just seemed that it would be good and it really was!!
Our first time at the cafe. Loved the atmosphere and the wall graffiti depicting famous people from scientists, to musicians to artists. I read a previous review saying the art on the wall was AI generated, must have been before the wall graffiti was done. We were a party of 3 and each ordered a different menu item. There is something for everyone. The bread for the sandwiches and the bread accompanying the egg dishes is sourdough bread. The salad portions with the egg dish was very generous. The fruit with the French toast bread was mostly berries and generous portion. This is not something you see in other breakfast places where fruit portions are small and mostly banana. Waitresses were frindly and accomodating. We all loved it and will be coming again.
The food was delicious. It is a small place, but very cozy and with a cute decor and portraits of famous people on the walls. All the items on the menu are named for various famous people too! We had a group of 10, so I had called ahead and made sure they could handle us. We were told it was best either before 10 am or after 12:30 pm. so we came later. We arrived a few minutes ahead and had a brief wait outside, but were seated fairly quickly. The service was excellent and we were all able to have separate checks. The Eggs Benedict selections are excellent, and the French toast with fruit topping and Nutella was also very yummy! I ordered the "Edison" french toast with cheese in the middle and fresh fruit and fruit compote on top, plus a Chai Tea Latte which is sinfully rich and topped with creamy foam and cinnamon. Others had omlettes said they were "okay" so I'd recommend the Eggs Benedict selections or the French toast ... and maybe the salads and sandwiches also, but I haven't had those yet ... so much to try! The owner was very welcoming and accommodating and invited us to come again ... and I'm sure we will!
This burger was absolutely delicious! 🍔🔥 Juicy, flavorful patty, perfectly melted cheese, crispy bacon, and a soft toasted bun — everything worked together so well. The egg on top takes it to another level 🤤 And the potatoes on the side were crispy and well-seasoned. Definitely a must-try!
Great tasting food, plentiful options to choose from that will satisfy any palate. I had the Eggs Benedict with the salmon which was outstanding, my wife had the omelette with spinach, mushrooms, and salmon. I tried hers, and it was very tasty, light and fluffy omelette. The prices are a little more than you would traditionally pay for a breakfast but then again, you are eating higher end ingredients like the salmon. Would I go back? Absolutely!
This little spot blew my mind with the Edison French Toast! It’s literally one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. My server was very delightful as well!
The restaurant had beautiful decor with paintings of celebrities all over the walls. It creates an ambiance that’s almost as good as the food itself. The eggs Benedict were delicious and the French toast was fluffy and rich. We also tried the ice cream latte which was a very fun start to the meal. 10/10 we will be back!
