| - The Cottage Cafe honestly surprised me. We visited the cafe after church to grab some brunch because we had heard good things about it.
The outside of the building looks absolutely abysmal. It's at the level that it feels like you may get food poisoning just by walking by it. It looks like a scary dive dinner. Fortunately, Cottage Cafe is NOT a scary dive dinner, and it will NOT give you food poisoning. Think of the Cottage Cafe as a scrappy stray dog. He's dirty on the outside, but he just needs a bath because inside his heart is gold.
The interior of Cottage Cafe is clean and feels like a classic country eatery. When we arrived it was absolutely packed, but it had a sort of "home" feel to it. We had about an 8 minute wait, it wasn't anything terrible considering the number of customers, which we took as a good omen.
Our server ended up being the sweetest lady, and she hooked my friend up with his ridiculously custom breakfast burger order. It arrived just as he asked!
The menu prices were surprisingly low and portions large that it almost felt like stealing. The "baby pancake" ended up being the size of a human head. Do not let the name fool you.
I ended up ordering the "big breakfast" for $6, which has amazing value. I had 2 scrambled eggs with cheese, bacon, hash browns, and 2 pieces of toast. The melted cheese on the eggs was just a slice of sandwich cheese, which was kind of strange, and I like my hash browns a little on the crispy side. Both of these are personal preference, though. Overall, the meal was incredibly considering what you pay for it. It would cost you almost this much to get a breakfast meal from McDonald's.
I am recommending Cottage Cafe because of the value and the incredibly sweet servers that will help you customize your meal. I would not be recommending Cottage Cafe if the prices weren't so low. For the price, the food is great. I would just expect higher quality if the prices were to jump immensely.
Go to Cottage Cafe and get a meal that will fill you up for cheap without feeling awful afterwards.
