We couldn't find the breakfast part of our bed-and-breakfast so we booked it uptown to find something closer to church. Hazel's was it. It seems out of place, being a reasonably-priced diner in a trendy part of town.
The decor is plain and comfortable, and the booth seats are a little too squishy. It was crazy busy with two (maybe three?) people working. Service was friendly and fast.
Hubby had a loaded waffle, which is really loaded up with berries and almond-flavoured whipped cream. I had... the Caker. This is a pancake wrapped around layered eggs, cheese, and bacon, and it comes with a little pitcher of syrup. I said to the waiter (who may have been the owner/manager, I'm not sure) that I was intrigued, and he said if I loved savoury/sweet combinations I would like it. And I did. I also wasn't hungry again for about six hours.
Prices range from $4.99 for the eat-in breakfast (7-11 am) to $14 for the special chorizo hash. You can splurge or you can cheap out.
This is a great little spot in the middle of a sea of more pretentious cafes and bistros. .
