| - I've held off on writing a review for a long time. I haven't reviewed for completely selfish reasons...I haven't reviewed, even though I have dined here nearly every weekend for over a month straight, because I don't want other people to come here.
Mad Batter is a cute, small, and hipster-ish coffee shop/breakfast cafe that is not very busy and has delicious coffee and food. I will say that normally hipster restaurants annoy my husband and I, but Mad Batter has only a few funky bits and is not in-your-face or obnoxious about it.
My husband is a coffee snob, and I usually don't care for the taste of coffee, however we both love the coffee here. The standard coffee (free refills, of course) is quite good, and smooth. The hot and cold coffee drinks they make (I love the white mocha) are sweet and far better than somewhere like Starbucks.
All the breakfast food is delicious, as I said above, but I think the savory dishes are where they really shine. I can't comment on the lunch and dinner items as we have only come for breakfast. They have several unique items, and many common, but with a twist items that provide just enough of a kick to make you feel adventurous at breakfast.
A few other yelpers have complained about the biscuits, which I suppose I could understand. They are scrumptious, but they are different from what you may expect. Their biscuits are not the super dry Bisquick kind you make at home, nor are they drenched in butter like other breakfast joints. I can't exactly put my finger on how they are different, but they go perfectly with their wonderfully meat-heavy gravy. I am not normally a biscuit, nor a biscuit and gravy fan. I find most breakfast gravies far too salty (even though I love salt) and biscuits always make me feel like I'm eating straight flour. Mad Batter has made me a believer, and it really is good!
Here, we have never had to wait for a table, unlike many trendy breakfast joints, and the staff doesn't rush you. The place is "seat yourself" and due to the size and layout may be tricky for large groups. I assume you'd need to split into two tables if you have any more than 5 adults. It was comfortable for us at a table with four adults and two toddlers, but more than that would be hard.
We always come with our two year old and the ladies that work here are very sweet with him and he loves the food as well. In the back corner (near the kitchen entrance) they have a bunch of no-sound vaguely vintage kids toys you can bring to the table. Everything from older baby to probably 10 year olds could find something entertaining. Lots of Melissa and Doug brand (for you parents reading this.)
So while this place is awesome, don't come here because I don't want to wait for a table or have it be loud inside :D.
