My tip best summarizes why am a fan of Coo Coo's Cafe:
" The best scrambled eggs that I've had in a restaurant the past decade; or come to think of it ever."
Coo Coo's is an appropriate name. You can say that I am coo coo for their scrambled eggs. Maybe with the exception of my grandfather's scrambled eggs, Coo Coo's is hitherto now the champion of scrambled eggs (in my opinion ). The two breakfasts that Coo Coo's served me this year featured scrambled eggs. I ordered the Hearty breakfast plate ($6.99) one visit and the smaller Petite breakfast plate ($5.39) the other visit. For $6.99 the Hearty breakfast plate with a coffee costing an additional $1.95 is a grand deal. The Hearty Breakfast Plate includes three scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese. Coo Coo's Cafe made me aware that cheddar cheese with scrambled eggs is a winning combination. The cheddar cheese was equally as tasty as the scrambled eggs. I'd choose six slices of Apple Wood smoked bacon over two thick cut slices of ham or two sausage patties. I wasn't coo coo over the bacon. They were good. However, I have tasted better bacon. I'd choose sordough over wheat toast. In my opinion toast is toast. Being adventurous I tried grits. My memory has zero recollection of ever trying grits before I had breakfast in Coo Coos. When the food is good, it is a good time to try something new because you will be experiencing a quality portion of the food. Complimenting the food was quality Illy coffee.
When I stopped into Coo Coo's for breakfast, I left the fast-paced surface streets of Henderson to step back in time. It reminds me of a diner off US 66. The US 66 diner theme fits in with the Historic Water Street (downtown Henderson) District that is along the Boulder Highway corridor between the Freemont Street Experience and Hoover Dam. I could picture a Hoover Dam worker driving his Model T from Fremont Street on the way to working at the Hoover Dam site. In 2015, Coo Coo's Cafe with a walk along historic Water Street is a nice breakfast choice before the Clark County Museum or Lake Mead. Just pass over this suggestion on Sundays because Coo Coo's is closed.
The Water Street Historic District is more than the home of downtown Henderson. It is also the home of a small cafe serving first-rate scrambled eggs. This is my 4 star scramble endorsement of Coo Coo's cafe.
