With several tables open, the owner asked us to leave our table and move to the counter if we were going to continue to chat.

It was 11 so hardly the breakfast rush, and the 2nd time this happened. I would understand if there were no tables and a line waiting to get in but that was not the case.

We will find somewhere else to meet and hope for a better atmosphere.

Plus - you have to pay for water!

LOVE EVERYTHING about Marilyn’s Cafe! Food, service, atmosphere and not bothered at all about their cash only policy. Had our first breakfast visit yesterday and know we will be back again real soon to explore lunch.

Excellent Cafe. Grilled cheese was amazing and the chicken orzo soup was full of chicken and lots of veggies. Delicious!

One of my favorite go-to spots when I'm running errands. Excellent food and the atmosphere can't be beat. There aren't places like this anymore. Cash-only, cozy, unpretentious, welcoming.

A gem of a place; eclectic with a great breakfast menu (and a lot more). Quick and friendly service with a staff who cares; evident with how busy it was. A great experience!

Very attentive and kind staff from the moment we walked in. Food was good but it's not breakfast-ish food, so not exactly difficult to mess up, but it was very tasty either way. Only gripe is that it's cash-only and they only give you bottled water - no free water!

Parking: Free and ample parking.

Wheelchair accessibility: Not accessible.

First time going here they didn't give me an itemized bill, and our whole table was suspicious of them overcharging. When asked about the price the manager woman was rude and unclear as to why our bill seemed to be more than it should have been.

Paying for water bottles over a Covid policy 4 years later is absurd

Went again today and our bill didn't accurately reflect the menu prices

Breakfast is good, soup is great, Reuben was bad
