Walked up and got our name on the list for brunch. They took our number and said they'd text when the table was ready. Estimated 30-minute wait, actual 40. We took the opportunity to look up the menu and reviews while waiting. Once seated, we were able to order immediately. The coffee was brought out in an insulated carafe for wxtra pours, with a side of cream. The gal who helped us also brought 2 forks out so we could share the roll. It had a fabulous crunchy outer, yet tender inside and smothered in a tangy-sweet cream cheese frosting. Next came the mains. Mine could have used some kick, but there was hot sauce available &, I suppose, it's easier to add more heat than it is to take it away. The eggs were perfectly poached & I loved the naked option. Bonus for letting me swap out potatoes for the fruit. After reading how great they were, I did expect some sort of twist, but there isn't one. Yes, they were good, just normal. I stole a few bites of bacon & it was fabulous. I'd guess they bake it to render it and get it crispy without burning it. The hubs said the chorizo hash was great. I wouldn't know cuz he didn't share! All in all, I feel like it was a great value.

I can not tell you how much I love this place! I ate here one time a few years ago and haven't stopped since!! I live 2 1/2 hrs away and decided to make a day trip, and I was not disappointed. I highly recommend this AMAZING place to eat!

Great, unique food as always. They were understaffed today, which caused some slower than usual service.UPDATE after 2/21/24 experience: I had the special Key Lime pancakes. They were among the best breakfast dishes I've ever had. Great texture, the graham cracker dusting was interesting and the key lime curd with whipped cream was outstanding. The service was great today.

You can TASTE the FRESHNESS of the food in the fruit alone. If you ever want to know how fresh of food you're eating, ask for their fruit or a salad.I had the Filloas, savory crepes and they were bursting with flavor! No disappointment there. My daughter got an omelet with a side of fruit. The best part is the fruit was so FRESH we requested an actual side of fruit.Now we were going to call it good there BUT when our wonderful server brought out the desert tray & I saw key lime pie with homemade whipped creme, I KNEW it was going to be fresh & have that beautiful zest with the sweet smooth creme to even it out & oh did it!In short, there's a reason the Morning Star Cafe is raved about & it is well deserved.

I was there for 40 mins and they never took my order, yet they were taking orders from other clients that arrived later. I called a waitress and let her know what had happened. She said the coffee was on the house. She did offer to take my order. It was 1:48pm. They close at 2:30pm. Bad experience I would say. I hope they get better.

I don't go to Morningstar that often, every now and then when I'm going out to breakfast with others. But today, I'm by myself and even though last time I thought they might have overcharged me, I decided to have breakfast. Besides Russ' Restaurant had big groups waiting to be seated. So here I am at Morningstar, parked across the street. First thing I noticed, they did not do a very good job of cleaning the snow off the sidewalk.....unlike their neighbor, J-Dubs wine shop which did an excellent clearing of the white stuff. Menu prices still looked the same, so I ordered what I got last time. Eggs & Ham. You can read the previous review I did on the food since it did not change. My biggest complaint, besides the 40-50 year old music heard over the speakers.... was being gouged! The menu states $9.25. I was charged 9.95. WTF? Next, coffee: $3.50. What do think they are? Starbucks? Then a non-cash adjustment! (see photo) So my breakfast with tip was about $17....and I just got a basic meat and eggs breakfast. I'm done with this place. I'll wait for a table at Russ' next time and save my self 5 bucks. Plus, Russ' actually has a parking lot.
