“I was definitely surprised by how spacious the place is and also how good their food is! Quite pricey though and some items may be fairly small for the price but definitely a good place for brunch!

Came here for brunch on a Saturday afternoon exactly at noon and there was actually no wait which is amazing. Had a nice spot outside on the patio and also brought our dog. This was a nice ambience for sure.

Dulce de leche Chai latte was phenomenal! Husband got this one and he definitely made the right choice. There we asked for almond milk and were a little surprised that they charged an extra $1 for that. Not too bad though cuz that drink was delicious.
Friends got the ibara mocha and raspberry mocha. But honestly, everyone agreed that the dulce chai latte was the best!

Asparagus and roasted beet salad - 8/10
Honestly this was a really nice salad with flavors going really well together. We added some chicken on and it was a great source of protein. Chicken was not too oily and was also cooked really well.
Only downside here for which I had to take off a major amount of points is the salad was actually very small. Quite expensive for the small portion size.

Raspberry ricotta stuffed French toast - 10/10
This was absolutely amazing! Soft French toast with that raspberry compote and the ricotta filling on the inside was a really good combination. Quite a large amount of ricotta filling which was appreciated. Fresh berries on top were also abundant and overall a really good item on the menu.

Fried green tomato sandwich
Friend who was vegetarian got this and honestly we were both surprised how large the sandwich was! Really really good portion size with an abundant amount of filling inside. Also got some fries on the side which was nice. Value for money here.

Salted Caramel Waffles
Friends got this to share and nice how it was loaded up with pecans and bananas and came with Chantilly cream on the side as well. I think they quite enjoyed it because they finished everything on the plate.“

“A nice clean restaurant with a nice simple menu. The breakfast burrito and the French toast were very good. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, and parking behind the restaurant. The service was friendly, albeit slow. Took 20 minutes to have a waiter come after we were seated. Then he didn't check back until the check. But when he was around, he was nice. The seating indoors is loud but only because of the staff very loudly talking to each other.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

T’s Cafe is an absolute gem! The Bloody Mary is amazingly delicious—one of the best I’ve had. The create-your-own scramble with chorizo, cheddar, and sweet peppers was packed with flavor, and the skillet with eggs, home fries, bacon, and cheddar was hearty and perfectly cooked.

The menu offers a nice variety, the atmosphere is exactly what you want in a fun beach town cafe, and the service is excellent. Most importantly, the food is consistently delicious every single visit. Highly recommend stopping here!“

“I meet with a group every Wednesday morning for breakfast. That makes the atmosphere perfect along with the outstanding service we get from our waitress! The food is a solid four! It is always fresh and tasty, but you can tell it is very commercialized for the general public. Nothing fancy or above the ordinary, just good breakfast. If you eat off the budget menu, it is extremely affordable! Pretty close to what it would cost you if you purchased the product and cooked it at home yourself! Overall...at 6:30 am on Wednesday morning, it is well worth your time and money, if you are selective on your food choice and bring a bright attitude knowing and taking it for what it is!“
