First time at Huxley Bookmark Restaurant. I have a friend that comes here on a regular basis. I pulled in the parking lot (which was almost full). I tried to park multiple times and realized the spaces are undersized. I had to park on an angle,hold my breath an hope I could get out of my car. I saw one car tried parking, get fed up and eventually left? I ordered a bacon egg cheese on hard roll with home fries with a small cup of coffee (porcelain cup).I waited approx 15 minutes.The portion was resonable However, the bill was almost $15.00.
Pros: ** portions are reasonable
Cons: ** small parking spaces
** Price higher than most places
One of the best home fries I’ve had in a long time. They are sliced, not chunky pieces so it was flavorful all around. The French fries needed a little more cooking time, weren’t as crispy as I would have liked. The ham, avocado, and egg burrito was delicious!

Had breakfast there with a friend while down helping him sell his beef jerky at the Durham state fair. I had the French toast with scrambled eggs, home fries, sausage and bacon. It was very good! The waitress was very friendly and attentive! I can see why my buddy calls that one of his regular breakfast places!

Blueberry pancake.
Delish.
I hadn’t been here in over 10 years. I was expecting the old place. Although it is a brand new building- it’s the same delicious food.

food is classic diner, delicious but a bit overpriced for the area. a lunch salad, adding protein makes a $20+ salad, a bit insane.

Met a couple of friends here for breakfast today. It was the first time for all of us. We had wondered where the name for the café came from, but it was immediately obvious from the copious amount of floating bookshelves on the walls filled with books.
There was plenty of seating even at breakfast time and it was a very good size café. Our waitress was so friendly and very accommodating.
We all ordered different kinds of omelettes which came fairly quickly and were delicious. The homestyle fries reminded me a little bit au gratin potatoes in the way that they were sliced rather than being cubed or shredded.

We’ve been to this cafe a number of times, and it’s become a go-to for breakfast on special occasions. BEST blueberry pancakes! Great atmosphere. Service is always FAST and friendly. Fruit is fresh and ripe.
We’re late sleepers and usually arrive about an hour before closing, and we never feel rushed (granted, to some extent we do rush ourselves because we’ve worked in the service industry, and we don’t want to be *those* customers). With that said, I find it’s unusual to have attentive, quality service in the hour before closing, so the great service certainly doesn’t go unnoticed.
Worth noting, the first time we went there was during their busiest time and were impressed enough to keep coming back!
We’ve had the server with the gorgeous, icy-blue eyes a couple times. I regret that I forgot their name, but they’ve provided us with outstanding service more than once now!
Oh, and the price is good and portions are huge!
Love this place and look forward to our next visit! :)
