Love this place! So pleasantly surprised, it's unassuming from the outside, but it has a beautiful side patio with wonderful foliage. Inside is nice and open, so you don't feel like you're hidden away from anyone to see you if you need anything. Lovely, friendly, and smelled great when you walk in. Thank for a wonderful breakfast!

Friendly staff - nice atmosphere and seating arrangements.

I ordered the country eggs Benedict. Overall the sausage gravy and egg were very good. The major distraction and disappointment was the English muffin - it was thin and more like a wafer or cracker. I much prefer the fluffy toasted English muffins.

Also - as other reviewers have mentioned, the hash browns were slightly crisp outside but raw/uncooked on the inside. Pretty disappointing. It wouldn’t take much effort from the line cooks to cook these properly.

I’d consider trying it again and ordering something else - the menu is full of options.

Food is always good. Had the Klondike Benedicts (Salmon) was good. The Hollandaise was a little bland but still ok. Large menu so there is always something else to get next time.

Asked for crispy hashbrowns and received this......burnt garbage fragments, inedible.
Manager gave 10% off. Wish i could share the pic. Blows my mind that the cook and server allowed it to reach the table. Plus, weird that you always get your toast 5minutes after food is served. I'm all done eating here.

The food is so delicious every time i come here! The workers are all so kind and nice and they don’t make it awkward when they come for a refill or anything. The whole place was packed with people when i came today, and we still got our food like under 5 minutes! The service is grrrrreat! The worker named Evan is so so kind! I can tell she’s a hard worker. Tony’s cafe is for sure without a doubt 10/10. I for sure recommend going here! The lollipops are so yummy too! You get them on your way out. Thanks tony’s cafe!!
