Millcreek Cafe and Eggworks

This cafe has improved a lot in the past few years! The food is pretty good, perfect for a pre-ski fuel up. The menu is diverse and all encompassing. Although there aren't a lot of vegan or gluten free options unfortunately. Great cozy spot for family brunch :)

Pretty standard breakfast diner. The parking lot is small and it gets really crowded at peak hours. The wait ranges from 10 minutes to "no way," especially after 9am on weekends. The servers have always been friendly, and range from ok to great but averaging more towards great. Food is relatively fast once ordered, standard size, and is consistent in quality. Fruit upgrade is not worth the price. The space needs ventilation though. It is always instantly smoky when I walk in, and my breathing definitely gets worse as I sit there. If in line, I always opt to wait outside. During nice weather, I will only eat outside, even if there is a significant wait time difference.

The hostess doesn’t know how to greet . She keeps the change and says “there’s that”
And walks away . Worst service I’ve ever encountered . I called to let them know and they yelled at me on the phone . If you want a teenager who has no skills to help you that’s what you’ll get! Super unprofessional

We usually eat here during the week after appointments. It’s never crowded and we are seated right after we arrive. The food is consistent (we always get the Millcreek Classic) and prepared well. The problem, the food is always lukewarm or cold! Our server today said it’s because the plates are cold when the food is put on them. Warm plates and faster service would be a good idea.

Parking: We’ve never had a problem with parking.

We took a chance on this little gem for breakfast, service was great and even though it took about 40 minutes to get our meal the food was excellent and fresh! We enjoyed our meal and the waiter - Brandon “mr Hooey” -was awesome!

Everything was great but the few times I’ve been here the hashbrowns have been burned. Just let the server know you don’t want them crispy maybe that will help! They are great at service and everything else!

We eat here weekly because we've enjoyed the food and up until recently we enjoyed their prices. They updated their menus and our price out the door was upped by about $10 from last week. We also ordered an additional pancake last week so our bill went up by about $15. Over the course of a month, our bill is now up by $60 which is almost two of our meals with the old price. Unfortunately, we're rethinking our plans of eating here weekly and might have to cut back to not mess up our budget.

The breakfast is good. The burgers seem like frozen pre made patties that are not good. It is extremely loud.

It has really gone downhill. My husband and I have been coming here for years. It used to be a Sunday ritual for us. Now that we have a toddler, we each liked to go on our days off with him to start a nice tradition. Every time family and friends are in town, we have taken them there. Even if we could sneak in only the quickest of breakfasts together as a family, we went here.

When we first started going here, we had great service and the food came super quickly. Coffee refills came super quickly. Everyone was friendly. The decline started when Covid hit. They started automatically charging a 20% gratuity for takeout, which is absurd. Do not put the onus of paying employees fairly on the consumer. We are already paying for your product. I would have already tipped them as I too work in a customer facing field but forcing me into what you deem is a fair tip for simply handing me a bag is not the way to go about it.

In the last several months, there seems to have been a changeover in staff. Items were getting forgotten, the potatoes are getting overcooked, coffee refills aren’t provided without having to ask. The food takes a long time to come. If the absolutely lovely gal with the dark hair isn’t there, forget about anyone coming by your table after you get your food. And yet, we still went there because we loved supporting a business in our neighborhood and it’s sentimental for us.

However, with all of the changes and a dining event that happened with my husband and son, sadly, we won’t be going here again. I’m really bummed about it. Instead of asking questions and seeking to understand why a long time customer may have left before getting their food, an accusation was made. You never know why a person may suddenly act in an unexpected way. I’m sure that you get people who dine and dash but this was not the case. Please think about this in your future interactions with customers.

Me and my family have lived in the Millcreek area for over 5 years now. One thing we loved doing was get breakfast on our days off here. It was a staple for us we brought family and friends here when they visited us.

Lately within the last 6 months me and my wife have noticed this place has been waning in quality and service. Last time I went here it was me and 18 month old son. We waited over 45 minutes to get a table. Sure they were slightly busy, I’m understanding. But once we got sat and ordered we proceeded to wait another 45 minutes. My son started melting down. No one told us food is taking longer than expected. I finished my coffee and wasn’t offered a refill, my son finished his milk and the meltdown started getting worse. That was when I noticed the group that got sat when I first arrived had just got their food. Any parent can align, dealing with a hungry toddler in public is not a great experience. So we left.

Today we decided to give Millcreek cafe one more try. Well we arrived, put our name on list, sat down. Then the owner came out and blasted me and my son in a busy lobby about leaving last time, beyond unprofessional. He could have at least pulled me outside to have a conversation with me so I could properly explain myself. I was so taken back and utterly embarrassed about that I couldn’t even properly explain the situation.

So we went to Eggs in the City instead; a busier and slightly more expensive location in the same area. I waited 15 minutes, seated, ordered and had my food in less than 10 minutes.

It’s a shame that a place that my family has been to so many times over the last 5 years is now a place that we will never go back to.

Go to “Eggs in City” or “Over The Counter Cafe” in Millcreek you’ll have a better experience.

***Update: Owner replied that I walked out on my bill. You can’t walk out on a bill if you were never given service. I never received any food. It’s not my fault this establishment had awful service on my last visit, that’s on them. How the owner has responded to this only validates my point. I’m not slandering a local business when I’m expressing how I had awful service and was called out in a full lobby with my toddler in my lap.
