I had never been here (or most places in Painesville) but a recent meeting found me in the area. I totally overestimated how long it would take me to get there (morning traffic usually sucks) and wound up an hour early. Thanks to Yelp I found this cafe near by. It's totally an older looking diner - several booths and a breakfast bar with stools. When I came in, I was greeted right away and the breakfast Rush was over (there were 2 dudes sitting at the bar, and people in 3 or 4 booths).
I read the previous reviews and it seemed the biggest complaint was the service. I'm happy to report that I had great service. My waitress was training a new girl, and they both were nice. My waitress seemed to know pretty much everyone who walked in, greeting them by name. Regulars make me more comfortable with a place.
I wasn't starving so just went for eggs and toast. My coffee cup and water were never empty, and the coffee was good enough (I never expect the best cup of my life or even great from a restaurant) - it had caffeine and hit the spot so I was happy. My table seemed clean and I appreciated that the waitress checked in on me without hovering or being annoying.
Was it a fantastic breakfast? Nope but it was good and I ended up taking some toast home. Plus it was very reasonably priced. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here but if I was nearby I would certainly go back. Their lunch menu looked promising.
