Waveland Cafe is a popular breakfast spot in the neighborhood, known for its great food and friendly atmosphere. The cafe often has a line of 15 or more waiting to get in, but they are quick to seat customers. Reviewers praise the excellent service and delicious, basic American meals, describing it as a "great great spoon ma and pop place" that they'll be sure to visit again. Many visitors comment on the traditional, no-frills dishes like biscuits and gravy, which are fresh and satisfying. The cozy, small-town diner vibe is enhanced by friendly staff and walls decorated with local touches. Parking is available in a small lot at the back, with an entry door on the right side of a small shed. Overall, Waveland Cafe remains a beloved spot for a hearty breakfast and warm service.
