| - After browsing on Yelp for a little this morning, I decided to try Hazel's Diner for breakfast. It was not very busy when I arrived (I seem to say this a lot in my Monday morning breakfast reviews!), so service was very quick, and the waitress was really perky. The restaurant has a nice look inside with dark wood trim and furniture, part of an old brick exterior wall, a half-dozen booths and three different types of lighting.
The breakfast menu is heavy on egg breakfasts, including a wide assortment of omelettes, and then the usual sandwiches and diner plates for lunch. At first I was going to choose The Caker, a pancake stuffed with eggs bacon and cheese. But then I decided to have the Mexican Benny instead, poached eggs with chipotle hollandaise sauce on chorizo sausage and a corn biscuit, with baked beans and home fries. It was a fine choice, spicy but not too much, and the sausage and beans were good. The only downside was that the corn biscuit was falling apart constantly, so it would have been easier to eat with a regular English muffin.
The bill came to $18 with coffee, so a little more than other similar places I have been, and $2.50 for the coffee is more than most. But it was still worth it for a good and different meal, and I am sure to return sometime to try The Caker. Definitely a recommendation, but note that they accept cash and debit only, no credit cards.
