Coffee Cup Restaurant

Dear reader,

I have meant to visit this restaurant for years. I finally found myself with a Saturday to go and fit their hours. And I was so incredibly excited to try this diner.

However, they were not excited for me to be there.

Let's start with the good stuff. I ordered the mess and an order of their grilled coffee cake. It was a huge serving for the price. Tasted amazing. Pile of eggs and potatoes and veggies. The grilled coffee cake was as great as I hoped for it to be, crunchy and savory and sweet. If it's just about the food, i'm going back every time.

However, now we get to the bad part. I came in at 10am, it appeared to be as their breakfast rush was wrapping up. Waitress were running. HARD and FAST. Nobody was slacking. So I had a lot of grace when I took my seat at the main bar and waited to be served.

And I tried to flag someone down.

And I tried again.

And a third time. And after 15 minutes, with a loud baby on my hip and a giant yellow hat, someone noticed me. They took my order, and I waited about 20 minutes for my food.

In that time I saw another couple come in and sit down the line, get immediately addressed, and served their coffee before mine. I was again, forgotten and had to flag someone down for my coffee.

Even when going to leave and pay, the lady working the register ran from the register to do something else, came back 5 minutes later, and then I could pay.

It just felt like there was 25-30 minutes added to my time here by being forgotten. The restaurant itself while keeping its rustic look, is worse for wear. Many light bulbs are out. Cobwebs. Just...doesn't feel clean or well kept.

So maybe on a different day. With more staff. With a better time, it would have been better. But this just wasn't an experience i want to repeat in an area with so many strong diners to pick.

Good old school diner. No frills. Lots of regulars.

Heard about this spot by word of mouth and it was exactly what we were looking for as a classic breakfast diner. We will certainly return.

Speechless! Best breakfast around!

Delicious breakfast (pork roll mess, super yummy), quick and friendly service, March Madness on the TV, what more could you want?? Hope to come back again someday!

I just love this place. I go every Saturday, the staff and head cook knows me well and knows what I like.. thank you Jess 😊 🙏🏽

Portions are smaller considering the price and the plates are tiny. Ordered scrapple and it was paper thin.

Great coffee shop diner! Service was impeccable and food was tasty and plentiful. Keep up the great work. Crispy bacon for the win!

Feels like home.

Solid location for a quick, simple, affordable, breakfast with local low key vibes.
