City Cafe proved to be a wonderful choice for a pregame breakfast with my parents in Lawrenceville. Contrary to other reviews, they did have a server who handled the tables and coffee while the owner kept his focus on sending great food out of the kitchen.
I ordered the heuvos rancheros and can easily say this is one of the best versions of this dish I've ever tasted. The beans were fresh, not canned. The hot suace had bite, but no Tabasco. And the eggs were fresh and perfectly fried. The only thing that might have pushed this dish over the top would have been to lightly fry the tortillas that were served on the side to give them a touch of crispness. And I'm sure if I'd asked, they'd have done it. Next time!
My parents both ordered omelettes and both were wonderfully fluffy and stuffed with fresh ingredients and just the right amount of cheese. The coffee was very good. In fact, my cappucino was so good I ordered a second one, something I rarely do.
Overall, a very good breakfast at a quaint and comfortable place in Lawrenceville. Yinz need to try it sometime!
