Eggsellent Cafe - Yelp

Christine: Vickey arrived early and saved our favorite spot - a booth by the front door. On this cold, dark February day, the wind whipped through the restaurant with each customer who opened the door.  Hang on to your napkins! The waitress was friendly, chatty and very attentive. She had my coffee poured and waiting for me as soon as I sat down. I had a hard time choosing from all the delicious menu offerings, but the website featured a picture of the “French Connection” breakfast platter of French toast, eggs, bacon and sausage. I had to go for it even though the Baconator Omelet was calling my name too! 

Young staff people constantly circulated through the cafe refreshing coffees, refilling waters, and taking away empty plates. I'm guessing some of them were the owner's kids and some of them maybe friends of theirs. It was clear that service was a priority judging from the number of staff people in this small establishment. This was the most efficient coffee service of all of our breakfast experiences to date!

My breakfast was perfection and really hit the spot. When the waitress asked how it was, I said it was “excellent”. Of course that sounds like “Eggsellent”, and she chuckled that she got me to say it. Regardless, they work hard to earn “excellent”, and they will get you to say it too!

Vickey:  A few people know that Christine and I go out to breakfast on Saturday mornings have started giving us recommendations of places to try.  A co-worker, Kati, gave us this recommendation. 

From the minute I opened the door it felt  warm and inviting, even though it want bitter cold outside.  The owner was working the register/hostess station and I don't think he knows a stranger.  We were seated in a booth right up front and I would swear he knew everyone who walked through the door.  It did not end with the owner, not only was our waitress friendly, but her parents were sitting at the table next to us.  She introduced us and we visited about the menu. I ended up getting an omelet smothered with country gravy.  Awesome, but too much to eat, the proportions were very generous. 

I have decided I need to return for lunch - there was a salad on the menu that sounded Eggsellent!
