| - "The old bike" has a pretty immense reputation. A friend and I went to check it out on a Wednesday morning, and were delighted to find no queue! The service was prompt, maybe even too prompt, so this might not be the place to chill and chat. I'm a bit surprised that everyone loved the service: the waitress was..just there. Not particularly enthusiastic about..anything at all really.
My friend ordered the Standard, without meat, she loved it! The plates are actually big, which was a lovely surprise - they look fairly small in pictures! I got the french toast, which was also huge, and sprinkled with cinnamon, some fruits and granola. It comes with a side of plain yogurt and a little tin of actual maple syrup. I would have enjoyed more if it had been warm and freshly made. For a $14 plate of bread, I was disappointed.
My friend loved (loved! loved!) her coffee. Neither of us expected it since she got a simple filtered coffee and not a fancy latte/expresso..She loved it so much that she asked our aloof waitress to give her the specifics. She pointed us to café Odessa next door. Bad surprise next door: the barista let out an annoyed groan: "I don't understand why they keep on directing people here, we don't carry that coffee they use!". Well that sucks.
