Bread and Ink Cafe used to be a favorite spot for many, especially for special occasions like Mother's Day brunch. However, recent visits have left customers disappointed with the lack of table service and the overall shift in the dining experience. Despite the self-service model, the staff remains friendly and accommodating, making small substitutions when requested. The popular dishes like chicken and waffles still stand out, while other items like biscuits and gravy fell short of expectations. The restaurant now operates more casually, with customers ordering at the register and busing their own tables. Despite these changes, the food quality remains consistent, as seen in the delicious beef brisket eggs Benedict and the chicken and waffles enjoyed by customers. The atmosphere has shifted from elegant to more bare bones, with a focus on the food itself. Overall, Bread and Ink Cafe offers a mixed experience for diners, with some enjoying the meal while others find the changes disappointing enough to not return.
