    Delicious custard-y and hot French Toast!
    Susan J.

    Greeted quickly and served soon. Delicious food, served hot. Good coffee. Definitely a good place for breakfast....our second visit!

    A so called Philly cheese steak but it's not, really
    Dave T.

    This is one of the few breakfast places in the area. It was closer to lunchtime. I ordered the Philly cheese steak because I was hungry and wanted to be full. I told the waitress that I couldn't wait to try the pie after I ate. The Philly was by FAR the smallest, worst Philly cheese steak I've ever had. Just call it a small beef sandwich. That was 100% not a Philly in any stretch of the imagination. After the food was delivered, all of the servers disappeared for about 20 mins. Did everyone go on a smoke break at the same time? I'm not sure what happened. I planned on getting a piece of pie since they looked great at the front counter but the waitress returned from her hiatus with the check and walked away. I guess we weren't allowed to buy any pie. I walked out hungry. Why did I give it 2 stars instead of 1? The pies looked so good that I gave them an extra star (maybe because I'm full as I write this review). Would I go back? Ummm, no!

    The Hot Mess!
    Carl S.

    I have been seeing a picture of a breakfast sandwich that 169 Café has been posting lately. They call it the Hot Mess! And every time I see it, I start to drool. So, today I decided to stop drooling and have a taste! They take a biscuit, about the size of half a loaf of bread, slice it in half, they set the lower half on a plate and layer on some hashbrowns, a sausage patty, a slice of ham, two slices of bacon, a fried egg, and then they smother the whole works with gravy and set the lid on top! Holy Moly! I did not have a week to lick my fingers clean, so I took a knife and fork to it, and it was delicious! Well Done 169 Café! Well Done Indeed! Stuffing a Hot Mess in my mouth in Smithville on a Sunday afternoon and life is good!

    In for breakfast before Mass this morning. Very nice ... greeted at door. Looking forward to taking my grandson one of their cinnamon rolls. They look delish. Coffee very fresh & perfect for a chilly winders day. Loaded omelette is large enough to share! This place was recommend by some those guests at our B&B. They were spot on. Prices very reasonable for the quality, service & portion size. Forgot to mention- bacon perfect & just right!

    It could be a quaint place for locals to meet, but the building was cold and stark. Food was overpriced and poor quality.

I ordered the chicken fried chicken plate. The chicken was cooked very well and the gravy and roll were delicious. To me, corn sides don't usually have much flavor and this was on par with the usual. I wish the chicken and mashed potatoes had more flavor, but at least they give you plenty of gravy.

We were seated quickly, which was a plus, but the place was surprisingly empty for a weekend brunch. The decor is very dated, think cheap country-western vibes with photos of locals on the walls, like stepping into a time capsule. Our server was prompt with our drink orders. I got an iced tea, and my wife ordered a hot tea, both of which arrived quickly. They took our food order efficiently too, so no complaints about the service speed. For food, my wife went with a breakfast scramble served with an English muffin, and I ordered a ham and cheese omelet with hashbrowns and toast. The food came out hot and fast, but that's where the positives end. My wife's scramble looked nice but lacked flavor and was overcooked to the point of being hard. The English muffin was just okay, nothing special. My omelet was a letdown. It had a single slice of unmelted cheese slapped on top, barely any ham, and the egg was dry and tough. The hashbrowns were undercooked, and the toast was dry as well. Overall, not a great experience. If you're starving and have no other options, Roxanne's might do in a pinch, but don't expect much. We likely won't be back unless we're desperate.

When we walked in, I didn't feel a sense of community per se, but the staff was friendly enough. Maybe that's during other times. This was about 9am on a Saturday. I ordered a lavender latte which was delicious. After reviewing space options, my friend and I decided to go upstairs and sit in chairs by the window. They've done a great job of making the space feel comfortable whether you want to be at a larger table with friends or be a little more secluded. They do have a room with games as well. You can also bring in your own food too since they don't currently have a food menu. I'm excited to return at some point and hopefully be able to sit outside when the weather is nice. We also ordered a couple specialty drinks to go. The black velvet and the Florida man were both very tasty as well. Recommend!
