We originally were headed to brunch at some "new" coffeehouse in Lawrenceville, but when their menu was NOT very brunch friendly, we decided to eat somewhere else. We walked to New Amsterdam and the menu looked lackluster their as well. We turned around to see if anything was near us and that is when we saw the City Cafe.
We walked up and upon just seeing how HOT the server was we decided to eat brunch right there!! ;-)
Anyway, it's a vegetarian restaurant. The food is good...IF you can get the old man (the owner and cook unfortunately) to actually want to prepare something. Each time we have been there when he doesn't have a server, he is somewhat rude and acts as if he is being put out to make our food. WHEN it's made, it's always delicious.
He makes a point to mention each time how his old restaurant in San Fran I believe it is used to be a "lovers" soda pop shop. Tables were for 2 people ONLY. I think he is somewhat irritated if more than 2 arrive.
Anyway, the entire scene is very weird. If only the food wasn't so dang good!
