It has been a couple of decades f
Of returning here. Never fails to impress. Great staff. Warm and inviting. Great food. If you plan to go at normal eating times, I'd recommend making a reservations as wait times can be lengthy ( it is worth it).

The cafe is cramped and stuffy — no fresh air at all. I ordered the berry lemon French toast expecting it to be fresh and crunchy. Instead, it was soft, soggy, and smelled strongly of egg. Only the edges were edible. I was so hungry I forced myself to eat one, but it was awful. I didn’t even want to take it home when they offered a box. Do not go here.

Had a great breakfast this morning. Coffee is excellent and service was outstanding. Overall a very good local breakfast place. The mimosas were very good start to the day.

The eggs benedicts are delicious, and their hollandaise sauces are very good. I would definitely recommend coming here.

Very popular spot! Every time I've gone I've had to wait, but it's so worth the wait. Their hollandaise is fantastic and despite how busy it usually is, the staff are incredible. Great little spot!

A super chill and friendly vibe here, not too loud. Delicious food and generous portions. (FYI if you’re wanting a drink, the patio is not licensed)

I went to Shine Café for brunch, and there was already a long line up when I arrived, so things looked promising.

I ordered:
Dallas
Chorizo, crispy jalapeños, cheddar & roasted garlic chipotle hollandaise served on French fries

I switched out the French fries for English muffins because I like things more traditional. Plus, I felt French fries might have made things too salty overall.
For sides, I got the cornbread, which was quite good!

I do personally think the combination is slightly on the saltier side, but that’s fine. The crispy jalapeños were certainly nice, and so was the chipotle hollandaise.

However, I have to say that the taste does not compare to brunches I’ve had in Montreal and in Toronto.

Went for brunch with my daughter who uses a mobility walker, were offered help getting down the 4 stairs. When leaving someone from a nearby store ran over and offered his arm! Such kind people. The food and the service was excellent. The plates were full and so so yummy! It was so nice to get the attention ie never had to wave down a server for a coffee refill as they paid attention. We will definitely be going there again!
