This isn't a place I'd ever walk into on my own, and probably wont be back. My roommies grandma likes to gamble here so I brought her after the farmers market across the street.
The staff was exceptionally nice, friendly and quick. Our server Luba was handling several tables but was still on top of things the whole time. Our busser Perfecto was also exceedingly friendly and drew me into a conversation about Hawaii. His daughter lives there and guess he could tell I was from Hawaii somehow. So 5 stars for service!
1 star for the food. I halfed a pastrami on rye w grandma - bread was pretty stale, pastrami was REALLY salty and as you can see doesn't even look appetizing. Shoestring fries were great - fresh, super crispy and perfectly salted. Grandma was pretty happy with the short stack of pancakes she ordered at least. Only plus is that the diet Pepsi didn't taste funky like fountain diet soda so often does. And my new friend perfecto brought me a brand new glass when I asked for a refill.
Only strike against service is that when I paid the cashier on the way out, she stopped to rub her eye for 30 sec then proceeded to grab the coins for my change with the same fingers! Pretty gross so I threw away the loose change without touching it. Luckily she had the bills in her other hand.
The cafe was pretty full and the other customers looked satisfied. I'm sure they do a decent breakfast so I'd probably recommend it if you're in the area anyway. I may have ordered the wrong thing, but the great service really made up for a lot.
