I've now been here twice and I'm sure I will be a frequent visitor as even before it opened Blue Diamond was a frequent stop on group rides. The good, I love the atmosphere. It's obviously bike friendly with plenty of bike parking, plenty of seating and the outdoor patio is dog friendly. The bad, the two meals I've ordered have just been okay. On my first visit I ordered the sausage frittata. It was more of a sauage muffin rather than a frittata and that's all that comes on the plate so presentation is lacking. I mean some fruit would be nice.
My second visit was on Father's Day so I ordered the eggs benedict, which I believe may have been a special item and not on the regular menu. This was a disappointment as it was basically boiled eggs on dry muffins with hollindaise sauce. The sauce was the only part of this meal that had anything to do with fitting the description of eggs benedict. Presentation-wise it looked great as it came with a cup of fruit and potatoes.
As far as service goes the staff is friendly but can be forgetful but I'm giving them a pass on that as they are still fairly new. I also agree with another poster about the tipping procedure if you are using your card. 25 % minimum option is not acceptable and should start at 15 % for a counter service establishment and go up from there.
I really do like Cottonwood Station and once they work out the kinks I will be happy to update my review. Until then I will order with caution because the $15 special masquerading as eggs benedict really left a bad taste in my mouth.
