| - I don't come here a lot because it is always packed, but I had a free Thursday recently so I decided to come in and bring my laptop to do some work. I had the BEST time. During "off" hours, this place is less like a campus hangout and more like the local diner. My fellow patrons were mostly (what looked like) retirees in to drink coffee, eat food, and read the paper. The atmosphere was so pleasant and homey. Also, this place probably has my favorite coffee in town (bottomless and self-serve).
But of course, what really matters is the food! I got a "small order" of the cajun biscuits and gravy with an over-easy egg. Delicious. The gravy, which the menu called "spicy," was not so much spicy as just flavorful, which was perfect for me. It went perfectly with my runny egg yolk and I wanted to lick the sauce right off the plate when I was done. The biscuit was fluffy and full of buttery flavor goodness.
Overall, the menu gives you a lot of ways to do breakfast according to the way you want to do breakfast. It has the staples (egg-meat-potato combo, pancakes, waffles), and the funkier stuff (such as the cajun gravy), and the blind special for the truly adventurous. I LOVE that they have "small orders" so I can pay for the amount of food that I actually want to eat, not attempt to eat a huge plate because I'm not trying to box up biscuits and gravy and then walking out feeling like a roll of butter.
As many thumbs as possible up!
