The 520 Cafe is a hidden gem known for its delicious and affordable food, making it a great choice for families and people with dietary restrictions. The menu is large, offering many vegetarian options, and the portions are just right. Breakfast favorites like bacon/eggs with hash browns and marble rye toast or a meat skillet are cooked perfectly. The staff is friendly, quick, and willing to accommodate special requests such as real butter or cream. The atmosphere is cozy and homey, creating a welcoming environment. Despite some items like margarine and whipped topping not appealing to everyone, the overall experience keeps customers coming back for the tasty dishes. The restaurant often accommodates larger groups, as shown when a party of nine was able to eat together on a busy day. Customers appreciate the fresh, hot food and attentive service, making The 520 Cafe a favorite spot for breakfast and casual dining.
